SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Windows Vista: Installing SH3 and Patching 1.4b

Axeman3d · 12-10-10, 04:36 AM

I recently installed SHIII from my old CD and it went on and updated without issue, and I am running Vista x64 Home Premium. The only issue I encountered was when I started the game, and the Starforce protection nonsense would not run on Vista. I used the Starforce removal tool and replaced the .exe files as instructed by their site, and I never looked back. I did not have to change admin priveliges or anything else, just remove the DRM nonsense and it starts first time.
