Getting SH3 to work again
Any one playing this game using Win 8.1?
I can get it to work a few times, and then it stops again. Always crashing on loading the mission, or loaded a save game on a mission. In port it will load just fine. My system: Win. 8.1 Using GWX3 Mods used are: RB_SH4_Effects_for_Sh3_2_03 Ambient Underwater Sounds Combat Radio Frequency Internal UBoat Sound Effect Radio Berlin The Black & Copper Torpedo Mod The Elite U-Boat Crew Uniforms Water Droplet Mod GWN D-Leer 1 Light House Mod GWX Late war Sensors Snorkel Antennas GWX Open Hatch Mod GWX Enhanced Damage Effect Wooden Lifeboats mod 1.1 S3H Hsie Patch More Wounded & Less Dead crew V2 for V16B1 Gwx DFa Flag & Pen 2010 These mods, are not the problem, as it has worked just fine playing them, before it starts to crash again. I am missing something, to make it work using Win 8.1, sh3.exe is set to: 1. Disable display scaling on high DPI setting 2. Run this program as an admin An ideas and help to get this game to run right again, would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, it works just fine with 8.1, with no problems. Also works fine with 10.
Do you have it installed to Program Files? MS doesn't like having non-MS programs installed in Program Files.
