Okay, I've also checked the ElAmigos repack.

Mounted it as an ISO and installed on the aforementioned Windows 10 laptop.

Ran the game, made a basic profile, exited the game.

Turned off the laptop, turned it back on. No endless loop issues, it booted normally.

I typed "regedit" into the Start Menu search bar, turned on the Registry Editor.

Searched the Registry Editor for anything resembling the Starforce registries.

Nothing ! So, that settles it. ElAmigos' repack (though it might still require a few tiny tweaks, has NO Starforce DRM issues, at all. Not even leftover registries. Well done, ElAmigos !

I've mounted the ElAmigos ISO and installed it on a Windows 11 desktop as well. Everything installed without any issues, the game runs without any issues. I found no Starforce-related registries in the Registry Editor of the Windows 11 desktop machine.

Feel free to play this repack without any fear of Starforce.

Right, so here's an update regarding the two current repacks. First, the LGU (Legacy Gamers' Union) repack, by Bladez1992.

Tested on an older Windows 10 laptop. Managed to install it on my 1920 x 1080 laptop, in a Games folder on C:, not in Program Files.

Checked for Starforce, with a restart. No issues, Windows 10 started normally.

Opened the Device Manager, turned on display of hidden items. Looked through everything. No Starforce drivers anywhere.

Tried to launch the game through the resolutionlaunch.bat of the repack, or through the Start menu shotcut. The resolution menu worked, it opened. I typed 8, for 1920 x 1080 screen resolution.

Unfortunately, the game did not launch for me, despite many tries with resolutionlaunch.bat, or through the Start menu shortcut. Might be an issue with too weak a graphics card on that laptop or something. Or maybe I'm not supposed to set the resolution to the same as the one on the laptop. I don't know.

Anyway, I then uninstalled the repack, deleted its game folder.

Turned off the laptop, turned on the laptop. Windows 10 once again booted normally, no issues.

Opened the Registry Editor (typed in "regedit" in cmd prompt, etc.), opened HKEY_LOCALMACHINE, then System, then Current Control Set, and then Services.

Found the "sfhlp01.sys", "prohlp02.sys" and "prodrv06.sys" registries, all associated with Starforce, but no "prosync1.sys" registry, also associated with Starforce. I did not find any other "sfsync", "sfdrv" or "sfhlp" registries, associated with Starforce, either.

Deleted all of the found registries associated with Starforce, turned off the laptop again, turned it on again, the laptop booted normally into Windows 10, no issues.

So, Starforce doesn't seem active in the LGU repack, but there are some registry remnants of it (I suppose) when you install the game through the repack. No endless booting of Windows or crashing of Windows encountered.

And at least on my Windows 10 laptop, the game wasn't able to launch, despite me setting the correct screen resolution size of my laptop prior to the game launching. As already mentioned, maybe I wasn't supposed to set the exact same resolution as that of the laptop, but I dunno.

Has anyone properly checked the two TOCA RD 2 repacks available here ? Are they fully cleaned of the Starforce DRM malware ? Starforce was notorious for installing its drivers and registries deep into a Windows OS, even OS-s that no longer support the software. So everything above Windows Vista and Windows 7, including Win 8/8.1, Win 10, Win 11.

I've read plenty of different people's stories about installing TOCA RD 2 (and RD 3) on Windows 10 and Windows 11, forgetting about Starforce entirely, and once they rebooted, even Windows 10 and 11 were unable to properly boot and required a complete reinstall of the entire OS. Essentially, Starforce is a danger even to the latest OS-s and their interaction with hardware.

Did both the LGU repack and ElAmigos' repack completely remove Starforce, its drivers and registries ? Or are they just avoiding Starforce by using the official 1.1 patch or updated 1.2 patch and a No-CD solution, to avoid activation of Starforce ? I don't think that's preferrable, even if Starforce would never activate.

I know Starforce drivers and registries can be removed manually, but I'd prefer not even giving that old and faulty DRM any chances.

From everything I've read and searched so far, both on this site and elsewhere, the ElAmigos repack seems to be clear of Starforce. Still, I'm not entirely sure. Did anyone have any endless reboot issues, or any weird OS behaviour after installing that repack ? Asking just in case.

I downloaded the Elamigos repack, it works great on Linux with Lutris. You may need to change the Wine version to 7 for this game. Otherwise no other step is needed for it to work.
