Does SHIII run on Win 10.

steinbeck · 05-10-16, 07:35 AM

I've installed, patched, placed jgsme, Made a 'Games' folder in C:\ it only gives an Error message. Same in any place I put it.
So, is there any way to get it to run on Win 10?

Thank you!

Well, it could be helpful if you tell what that error message is. And which game release you are trying to install.

Also, there is a stickied thread mentioning installation help and Windows 10

Also yes, it does run quite well on Windows 10.

Hi steinbeck
Do not install SH3 in the default Program x86 folder.
Make a new folder and call it something like SH3.
Your new installation path would be C:\SH3
With Windows 10 you may have to run the SH3.exe in compatibility mode OS 7 if you get ctd's when loading the game.
The SH3.exe application also needs to be run as administrator.
There is no reason why OS10 should give you any further problems once you set the ground rules.
