Silent Hunter III disc problems

[Harps666]

G'day I have Silent Hunter III on disc & want to start playing it again on a LT running windows 7 Pro but because the disc is from 2006 it won't play. What can I do to fix this problem. I'm not tech savvy & since I can't go to my rifle range I need to shoot something whether it be torpedos a deck cannon or flak guns.

Cheers [_])

Hi Harps666 A Warm Welcome to Subsim


Your SH3 disc the original with starforce protection on disc not like the one in the picture this is the version i have
But if it is like the pic then your SH3 Disc is already patched and has starforce removed.

Looking for help with the same problem. If I read this correctly, I will need to buy the steam version? Hating the fact that operating systems are not easily backward compatible.
