Bug #: 32981
           Summary: StarForce MMOG anti-cheat/anti-bot protection crashes
                    wine
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.23
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org
        ReportedBy: limited_choice@hotmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified
This protection system is pretty much akin to what 'Hackshield' & 'GameGuard'
does...ie; preventing people from using memory hacks to cheat in MMOG games. As
such, it might be just as unfixable. At this stage I only know of 1 game that
uses it (RaceRoom), but there may be others. You can identify it by opening
'protect.dll' and searching for "S.F. .M.M.O.G"
I'll submit a debuglog over the next few days for completeness but
realistically I do not expect this to (ever) be fixed in my lifetime (for the
same reasons pertaining to gameguard/hackshield =)
