View Full Version : Why did my game stop working?

I think this is my first posting, I've read a lot here before and love SHIII (and formula SHII). This might have been mentioned before, but when I've done a search, an answer was never definate to me. Recently my game stopped playing, I get the error that I have the wrong disc in my drive. It has played fine in the past and my last changes were installing a clean version and adding what upgrades I wanted to. I played the game fine after that (had a few issues with some patches, but got them to work) but recently when I tried to start the game I now get this error. I read here is was a copygaurd error and even upgraded the drivers from the site recommended, but same issue. Do I need to wipe my game out again and start all the installs and upgrades. This can take longer than just wanting to play the game for an hour.

Other side notes, is there any way to see the ammount of water flooding and fire damage taking place like we could in SHII. It was easier to tell when I had to blow ballast just to try and save my butt while here if I'm in trouble, I really don't know how bad until it suddenly hits.

Thanks for the help.

Mike, try the Starforce removal tool:

When you start SH3 Starforce reinstalls itself, maybe it works then. Also clean your DVD.

Thanks for your help. Tried the removal tool and it worked again. I was going nuts trying to figure this out and was reading about Star Force here and other places, but I guess overlooked the removal tool and only tried the updates.
