SH3 not working at WinXP x64

delafor · 05-20-07, 06:45 PM

Hi,

I just installed Windows XP x64. All seems to work ok but when i try to load Silent Hunter III, I get an error (incompatible OS, I think). I've been searching at this forum and the web and didn't see a solution... I tried NOCD .exe, compatibility to "Windows XP" o game .exe, and doesn't work...

Anyone can help me? Thank you very much... :p

PS.- Sorry about my english...

I had the same problem, I've been using Win XP Pro x64 for 8 months now. The Anti-Copy software thing in the DVD-ROM doesn't recognize XP x64 as a valid OS. The only way around it (at least from what I've tried) is by a no-CD patch.

When I use the NOCD I get the error: "3d engine can't initialize"

Should it be a video driver or directx problem?

Kptlt. Siegmann, can you tell me what nocd are you using? (in mp if this is not allowed by forum rules).

Thank you very much,

There is either an update to the Starforce Protection Driver for Windows XP x64 or use the Starforce removal tool.
