I got myself the German CD-version, which is also Starforce protected. So the Game won't run.
Now...
IF there WERE a [legal DRM circumvention method] out there, wich WOULD work... after installing the 1.2-update from the Altar-Homepage...
Then the game WOULD run, however the mouse pointer WOULD be missing so the game WOULD be unplayable.
