About DRM
The Digital Rights Management systems were developed for protecting intellectual property. Before Steam and other distribution platforms existed, video games were sold on CD and DVD discs. The StarForce DRM protection restricts unauthorized data copying. Due to multiple errors and bugs, this system was abandoned and replaced with more modern solutions. However, many obsolete games still use it. This application is intended for fixing StarForce technical problems and resolving compatibility issues with modern operating systems.
