agathosdaimon Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Hi! I bought a boxed copy of DCS Blackshark - i know its old and there is all the new stuff on dcs world now, but i like the old games i noticed that this game is using starforce, so i would like to know if this will work on windows 10 - will the starforce install break my computer (like what happened years ago with starforce with American Conquest Divided Nation) - i am just asking this first as i dont want to install the game and then have it ruin my computer thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1Combat Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 As I recall Starforce doesn't work with Win10 at all? Nvidia RTX3080 (HP Reverb), AMD 3800x Asus Prime X570P, 64GB G-Skill RipJaw 3600 Saitek X-65F and Fanatec Club-Sport Pedals (Using VJoy and Gremlin to remap Throttle and Clutch into a Rudder axis) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agathosdaimon Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 oh it does, just not all its versions, but you can update it if needed or remove it, i just wanted to know if anybody had issues with installing the dvd version in windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker68 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I have the digital copy of Ka-50 (the first one, aka Black Shark 1), and I installed it again in my Windows 10. AFAIK, it uses some kind of "soft starforce" (without drivers) to check for authenticity. Although I was able to install it, I'm not able to start it (it just flashes and goes back to desktop). Using Win10 1903 with latest nVidia drivers (440.97). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joker68 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I installed it today and it works fine Hi JJflyer, is your copy digital or DVD? Now I'm curious why it isn't running on my end, as I run DCS without problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
