I got around the Starforce reboot problem:
- Download the NOCD file on this page.
- Unpack the NOCD file.
- Move the FDmaster file to the folder where you installed the game.
- Replace the FDmaster from the game's folder with the FDmaster from the NOCD folder.
- Enjoy :)

Is there anyway to force this to run at 1920x1080 on Windows 11? I've edited every file I can find that has resolution details but it still runs at only 800x600.

For those having issues running on Windows 11/10,

When installing this on Windows 11 or Windows 10, before running the Setup.exe, please make sure you go to properties compatibility and set Windows XP. Also, before running the game after installation, you should set the game's EXE (FDMASTER.EXE) with the same compatibility options.

If you find an error on startup claiming MV error, then go into "DreamCatcher\Emergency Fire Response\Logic\video" and rename or remove intro.mpg

If you cannot start due to DRM asking you to constantly reboot, please use a NoCD patch (Found above in the downloads section)

It will run flawlessly on Windows 11.

Anyone have a solution to get around the StarForce loop of needing to restart? I'm on Windows 10.

Excellent game when I played it back on Windows XP.

Trying to run it on an updated iOS 12 MBP 2013.

I've tried VM (Windows 10 x64), PlayonMac, DDOSBOX, Boxer, and Crossover.

The game installs and will launch with a restart but errors out at the beginning with an unexpected error with the driver installs and error code 3.

Any tips from someone on Mac?

Update, I was able to get all of the files to load! The game is 'playable'! The only issue is that the game now doesn't allow my cursor all the way to the bottom of the screen. Where the game is displaying and where the game thinks it's displaying doesn't match up. I've tried going into my GPU control panel and maintaining aspect ratios, etc but to no avail. Other thoughts?

I was able to get almost everything extracted perfectly for the game to function however I get an error every time that is "Could not find any compatible Direct 3D devices". Any helpful hints?

This is an example how terrible DRM is for game preservation and archiving.
And I doubt it served the publisher much good when it was a new release, the pirates had the crack for the time and the game anyway, and on top of that the game is super niche, so its not like they saved millions for buying temporary protection in the first few weeks of release. They should have at least provided a DRM free build after a year or so, save the money they paid to the protection racket for better marketing, instead of trying to play hardball with resellers, pirates, or some friend who wanted to try your version on his own computer.
