I've looked into running SH3 inW10, and it must be possible, I tried a clean install from the game cd, having previously deleted any references to SH3, (I had a version on steam).

Having installed the new clean download, setting 'run as administrator' and running compatibility with Windows XP service pack3, I thought I'd give it a whirl, no dice.
I keep getting a page pop up titled 'Protection System' and a big yellow 'ERROR'
message warning, followed by script that tells me it can only be ran via XP .

Has anyone encountered this ? If so, how do I get around it?

TIA,
Spurlash.
Ahoy, spurlash...

where did you go for installing SH3 to begin with...

& 2ndly, just what is the nature of the source for SH3.??? CD/DVD disk... Steam, Ubisoft... another source online... bought it from a bearded circus lady... from the red balloon carrying clown in IT... This info, would be helpful to know...

The more info, the better...
