Hi! Sorry to barge in the disscussion uninvited.

My name is Roberto Koci, the creator of "Alien Dominion: The Acronian
Encounter". I see you guys have problem with the starforce protection system.
:o)

Well, I can help you with this: A.D. does not use starforce. :o)

Here are quotes from the log file I find suspicious:

err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA ATI HDMI, disabling
mixer
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on Logitech EasyCall
Speakerphone, disabling mixer

and later:

*****************************************
*** --- Initialising OgreOggSound --- ***
*** ---     OgreOggSound v1.11     --- ***
*****************************************
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)


A.D. uses OpenAL for sound output, and it looks it can't initalize it. Right
after that last line quoted of the log file I see the engine is starting the
deinit process, so I'm sure that is the problem.

Make sure that the OpenAL installs itself when the AD installer is finishing. I
set it to silent mode, so to make sure it works you need to manually run it's
installer from the "Alien dominion install folder"\Redist\OpenAL\oalinst.exe.

Hope this helps. And if not, we can look further. Feel free to contact me at
blackfire at blackfiregames.com.

Once you get this running, you are free to popularize "Alien Dominion" a bit.
Maybe post a nice comment about it on some forums. :o)

Sincerely,
Roberto Koci
CEO of Black Fire Games

P.S. first time I saw the log file (I found that first) I was thinking that you
were hackers trying to crack my game... hehehehe!
Yeah, keeping a close eye on those guys, need to protect myself...
