Silent Hunter 3 + GWX + Vista 64

brotebjo · 07-21-07, 09:21 PM

Yes I know vista sucks, but I wanted to play Company of Hereos with Direct X 10, so I installed Vista 64. So how do I get SH3 to work under Vista 64, I read the main thread - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ighlight=Vista but that didin't help..when I run the crapforce update, it says no drivers installed...I've done the usual stuff like run as admin and run as Win XP, but aloss it didn't work. Any help will be great other wise I guess I'll be playing SH4 and COH instead...no more GWX...

Silent Hunter 3 + GWX + Vista 64=Good luck!:rotfl:

Sorry but that thread is the best advice on running SHIII with Vista. Hopefully someone who knows abit more about it may be able to assist.

You may need to use the un mentionable
So no starforce
I dont think starforce works on the 64bit OS

Well if that's the case, well I guess I had a good gun with SH3+GWX...perhaps the next time I redo my computer I'll do a dual boot. Thanks for the replys!

Just set your PC up to duel boot with XP and vista, im going to be doing the same very soon. I get the feeling im not going to be using vista very much hahaha *sigh*

I'm running vista x32, not x64 but when I got this laptop I copied my SH3 folder over from my XP machine... including GWX and the... unmentionable 3rd partry patch. Worked perfectly.

So, that may be worth a crack for you. Copy a working, de-starforced install over from a working XP installation. I know SH3 CAN run on vista x64, I see no reason why this wouldn't work.
