wolf_howl15 We Fear She Is Lost

My Windows XP computer 2002 - 2018.

"We fear she is lost and has gone down somewhere in the vicinity of a 1942 SH3 campaign."

Perhaps this is the time to finally move to another SH version.

Absolutely not, you can play SH3 on Win7,8,10. Follow the sticky instructions, and SH3 will shine even better than before

I run it on Win 7 and it works like a charm.

I have been playing SH3 on Windows 7 since 2011 and never had compatibility issues yet. The important thing is you have to install the game and the patch as administrator outside Program Files and it should be fine.

I did have a compatibility issue on 8.1. I was shown how to set the compatibility for the game and poof! Issue gone. Game runs fine. I've been told this works on 10 as well.

Running SHIII/GWX on Win10 and never had a problem, except for destroyers chasing me.
