Default WIndows 8

So Windows 8 does not support Silent Hunter III?

so.
with that out of the way (and off my chest), what do you want to do? what's the matter, what's the problem. where are you at, where do you want to go. what are you scared of, and then we will find a solution.

SH3 isn't supposed to work on windows 7 (or vista) according to Microsoft but it does.

I'm playing SH3 on a Windows 8 laptop and it works. GWX3 works, SH3 Commander too and so do work SH3Gen and JSGME.

If you use it just for gaming I think it's even better than Windows 7 as I think it's faster, if you use it for work maybe you want to install the start menu tweak. It's like a mod for Windows 8.

That's all good news.
Thanks
