Vista and SH III
 

I've heard the Vista has listed Starforce as a forbiden exe. Will we be reduced to cracks to run SH III on Vista?

I installed SH3 on Vista x64... which kinda made using the crack a requirement... I'm not sure about the x86 version.

I abandonned the whole thing though... even RC2 caused too many problems for me, I couldn't get all drivers to run, AA wouln't take effect with the nvidia drivers... and games just run slower.

So it was back to XP for me. I hope they sort those issues out for the official release of Vista.

Thamks. I'm approaching Vosta as I would a coiled rattlesnake.

Forget it. Microsoft has banned everysingle one of third party antivirus programes. Meaning all other third party programes will have problems. I'll stay on Xp as long as they keep making stuff for it.

Microsoft a bit too far with Vista, atleast that is my opinion. When all will fail, we'll just go to Linux and pray they make a decent emulator or that all software makers convert to Linux too!

You mean Vista won't run Morton, etc?

What. The. Bloody Hell?!

Banned all Third party software? Bill "The Borg" Gates went too far with that. I mean, if that would be true he would be a nuts moron! :down:

Sorry if you got me missunderstood.

I know MC banned all third party Anti-Virus programmes, so I extrapolated that things won't be nice for other similar programmes (sorry I forgot to mention it earlier). When Bis71 said Starforce won't work on Vista I premused that many other programmes (like AV) won't work!

Sorry :oops:

No, only proven, dangerous, lying, useless scummy EXEs. Did I mention Starfoce?:lol:

That's because Vista is loaded with DRMs and which will not let 3rd party software run. MS wants you to pay for everything and have their approval too. At $400 for the deluxe Vista OS, I imagine XP will still be the favorite for a long time to come. Yes you can get cheaper versions of Vista but why when it does the same for all forms of the OS. Only problem is you'll have to build your own computer, as everything prebuilt you get from stores will be "you know what" very soon.

I didn't want to change to Xp when I Windows ME, but now... I surely don't want Vista.

ARG! VISTA SUCKS!!! :mad::mad::mad:

I want my third party freeware!!!! I hate paying! :damn::damn::damn:

Micro$hit, i am going to sink you! AK Voraus!

Windows Vista, as a principle, doesn't have a problem with you running Silent Hunter III. However, Ubisot decided to ship SHIII with StarForce as copy protection, and therein lies your problem, since Starforce isn't Vista compatible. It would be a very simple issue to fix, exept that Ubisoft isn't willing to drop StarForce for SHIII, and StarForce hasn't bothered to make it's product Vista compatible neither.

Windows Vista may surely have problems and issues but there's no point in making horror stories about it while it's still on Beta mode.

On this issue, at least, let's focus on the real problem: StarForce.

heres to staying away from vista as long as humanly possible.

Yep I was exactly the same when XP came out... i held out with 98 by my fingertips until I finally fell from the cliff... by then XP was acceptable.

Maybe with need to move to Apple Computers!! Then we would get a decent OS!!

My biggest problems with Microsoft are: 1) their OS has more holes than a sieve, 2) they strive and drive to ram their OS down everyone's throat, 3) they use whatever tactics necessary to dominate the market and kill competion, 4) they most certainly do NOT listen to customer feedback, and, last but certainly not least . . .


Their final, released versions work worse than anyone else's alpha test-bed versions!

Interesting. Sounds like an easy trip to Russia...

great :shifty:

:p:p:p

But back to Microsoft and Vista!

The thing is, that it has EU on it's back. He tries to have a monopol in the EU, but we have laws against it. He'll probably get away with it, but not without paying huge ammount of money!

Sounds like there will be a lot of brainiacs figuring out workarounds for ball and chain Vista approach. Just like Xp has workarounds to only load what you let it load, as opposed to what Borg Gates thinks you need loaded.

Remember, there's always a way to get around the goofy s#$t..................
It will just be a matter of time.
