SH3 and Vista

Johnfb · 03-06-11, 06:38 AM

Is it possible to run SH3 on Vista?

Is there a patch or something that can make it compatible?

My reason for asking is:
I was about to use the 1.4 patch and GWX on my XP macine but it is old and just about has the min requirements on it. With the upgrad I fear it will run like a pig after the upgrade so I dont want to bother and then it will not run correctly.

I could run it on my laptop...but this has vista

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Get the SH2 SH3 combination from Amazon.
It's realy cheap.
You don't have to install or play SH2.
There is no Starforce, thus it works well on my Vista.

It's also modded and improved quite a bit from the original release.

I would not recommend a laptop for SH3 though.

I run SH3 GWX on Vista, and it runs 5x5. No hitches.

Really? I have vista 32 home .
Should I give it a spin even though it is on a lap top...I have run other games on it with no graphics issues.
Is there a patch for this ??

Getting excited here
