Lost my copy of SH3 need to buy another

[Captain Wreckless]

I seem to have lost my copy of SH3.:wah: Wasn't there another release that didn't have StarForce embedded in it? If so where can I buy a copy?

Thanks.

You'd be looking for the Encore version. Comes bundled with SH2 and NO Starforce.

I ended up buying three copies of SH3.
.The first got disk damage and the second wouldn't run in Vista (Starforce).

[Captain Wreckless]

Thanks Torplexed. I'll look at this one. I also read that the D2D version was also SF free but I don't want to deal with activations. I install and reinstall alot.

The starforce free version is availble via subsim's store.
Get it this way and you help keep this website going

Yeah....but it means he lost Starforce too, which is probably a good thing. :D

Im trying to buy some new copies too, i started playing SH3 about 3 weeks ago thru steam but i couldnt get any of the mods to work.
After a lot of fiddling i managed to install WAC but i rather have 2 real copies (one for my dad too). I want to install GWX and try that but i probably wont be able to via steam (also need to get it running for my dad)

Anyways the Subsim link to Amazon wont work for me it seems, can someone tell me exactly which release i need.

you have:
Focul Mutimedia ltd
Ubisoft

Which one doesnt have Starforce?

I just bought a copy from the SUBSIM Store!! It now works with Win 7. Just $10.00 for two games and no starforce.:yeah:

[Delhan]

How do you buy from Subsim store? i wanna sponsor this community and ill be happy to drop 20$ for 2 copies but i cant figure out how. The store just links to a screenshot and the only link i saw to amazon said they couldnt deliver (the UK amazon)
If any Subsim mods are willing to just send me and i pay thru paypal or something to donate ill be happy to do that.

There is a couple of ways to get to the starforce release

Assuming you are US / Canada
Go to link at top of this page - Subsim Radio Room Forums
Click on 'General' forum
Open 'Comments to subsim review'
Open 'Subsim store and Amazon'
Check second post down by Neil Stevens
click the 3rd link down - US + canada Subsim store
SH3 starforce free version is at the bottom of the page

If you are uk / europe you could struggle

Sorry shouldn't laugh :shifty:

Yes!

Thanks muchly!

I can also recommend the GreenPepper version of SH3, it is very cheap and has no Starforce either.

If anyone is still interested..... The Direct2Drive version is Starforce free and DOES NOT require activation. I just installed it on my laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium and it seems to run with no problems. I need to find a way to adjust the resolution, but other than that, it's good.

ZAP! I just activated my personal deflector shield, the rocks will just bounce off! Ha Ha

Duh! Low battery warning. Guess I'll just hide and wait for everyone to leave.

Found it on Amazon's German site.

Will it run the mods ie:GWX?

Buy a copy at Steam or at the Ubisoft Digital Shop.

It's not the US version, it's the EMEA version. Found out today the hard way. :down: Hopefully I can get my money back.

Guess I'll have to really search for my lost copy or come back here and order the one from Amazom.com.

If you use steam for games , its only 4.99 pounds on there and u dont need a disc or any patches... I dont know what starforce is so i dunno if its on that version or not..

I use xp pro on my desktop and it works fine there

To Delhan:
As long as you own an original copy of the game, you might use a noCD on one of the computers and use the original on the other. I use noCDs with all my legally purchased games since my original GTA San Andreas disk almost broke up inside my DVD drive, and have backup disc images of all my games.
Steam games obviously don't need noCDs.

Or you could run the steam SH3 on your dad's computer and put steam on a permament offline mode there, and buy just one copy for yourself. Since yourd dad isn't really logging in your steam, you can still use it whenever you want.

Starforce is the UGLY/TERRIBLE/DVD DESTROYING copy protection software on the retail/DVD version. D2D versions are SF free and I assume the Steam version is also.

The newer disc versions are as well.
