SH3, StarForce and Windows 7?
 

Hi all,

After playing SH5 for a while i've wanted to switch back to SH3 for a better realism fix, and also i've only just heard about the GWX3 for it (I know where have I been?:88))

Now the problem i'm having is that StarForce is failing to install on Windows 7 and I decided to use the 32bit version for compatibility issues on programs (Looks like that didn't help much). Can I get SH3 working then or am I totally scr3wed? :wah:

The option I took was to get this version:

No, I likely won't be playing SH2 again, but this version of SH3 comes fully patched to 1.4b, no-disc-required and Starforce-free! And, it's cheap enough to make it worth it.

As I'm in the UK would this be a substitute?:

With the 'Revival' title on it I would say it should be, but I can't guarantee anything I haven't actually seen. Hopefully someone who knows more will see this soon.

That'll do nicely http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

Thanks, it's ordered and i'll have it on Thursday. :salute:

Shame my older version is obsolete now. Damn you StarForce! :damn:

Edit: Sorry one other thing Jimbuna, what file do i need on your link for GWX as there are several options?

Ah, but it's always good to have a backup.

Or an extra drink coaster.

Very true on the second point. :rock:

How do you want it?

It is available as an exe file plus 7 bin files or as a torrent containing the above or a single file.

You can also obtain it from http://www.btsmods.com/index.php

where the single file download is split into two parts but easily extracted if both are put into the same folder.

I downloaded the executable as i think it will be easier to install right? I've also got JSGME installed so if i can use that for the smaller files that would work for me too.

You'll need the exe file plus the 7 bin files, put them all into the same folder before extracting.

Ah nice, thanks for the info. :yeah:

I repurchased my game for $10 from direct2drive to get around the starforce problem on windows 7.

No problem....you can also click on my sig which will take you to the Grey Wolves website where you will find comprehensive installation instructions http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif
