Star Wolves 2 still playable?

[Dr. Z]

I just bought an old game called Star Wolves 2 which I've played years ago and wanted to play again so I installed it on my Win7 64 Bit laptop. When I was told to restart my PC to install copyright protection it hang, I had to run Windows repair and when it was up again, half of the game datas were deleted!

I googled a bit and learned that the copyright protection StarForce was apparently a bunch of crap so nobody wanted it so it never got an update for 64 Bit systems. Also, the game has no official Win 7 support.

Is it still possible to play the game? Maybe just with compability mode? I don't want to try until someone can tell me it works to not crash my PC again.

Steam version started up fine for me on 64bit Win 7. I suppose it doesn't use StarForce. Maybe remove the copy protection or something if you can't get a steam version(it's been in a few bundles, currently I only have a spare key of the 3rd one since I already gave away the others).

I've never heard of the game, but you could consider setting up an XP (16/32 bit) Virtual machine
