SH 3 problems

[Heer Kapitain]

I have just purchased SH 3 from my local computer store to which doesn't run on my computer, however I went back to the store to which runs on their system perfectly is their something wrong with my computer which is only 2 yrs old.

When I checked on the disk my computer it shows that its a blank disk when infact it worked at the store of purchase.

I have SH 2 and DC on it to which works fine. Would having SH 2 on the computer effect the loading of SH 3?

Were you able to actually install the game?

BTW - Did you make that sig yourself including most of the images in it?

Not much info to work with here. :hmm:

Going solely on your "When I checked on the disk my computer it shows that its a blank disk when infact it worked at the store of purchase." comment, one has to ask, are you sure you are inserting it into a DVD-ROM drive, and not just a CD-ROM drive?

EDIT: Looks like I'm too slow again...

"Only 2 years old" may be just too old. And it depends what inside the case. If it was cheaper than 1000 USD/Euro it is most likely a piece of crap.
Computers bought from a supermarket just aint good enough.

What a load of crap...

That comment is about as far from facts as I have ever heard.

I have a 2 yr old system that can run SH3 just as well as my brand new system.

Not only that but price has nothing to do with how a system performs.All that sounds like is someone playing the "my penis is bigger than yours cause I paid more" horsecrap.Bunch of bollocks.I paid $500.00 for my home built system and run SH3 perfectly at 1280x1024 with 2xAA and 2xAF.

Now as for the topic on hand..

1. Make sure you are using s DVD drive and not a CDROM drive as has been said.That would explain the readingit as a blank disc.

2.What are your systems specs...would be help us to help you if we know whether your system can actually handle the game and what else may be the problem.

Of course you can run any game on a cheap bucket, with low quality settings. I'm talking about everything set to max, and having at least 512 TC in ports. I'm sorry you only paid 500 for your rig. You cannot play any newer games (BF2142) without having to decrease graphics settings.

"I play Doom 2" on my 10-year old comp." Well d'oh!?

It´s a DVD, had you put it into a DVD drive?

Having SH2 on the computer should have no effect whatsoever on SH3. I have SH2 and Destroyer Command on mine and SH3 runs just fine. There is no relation between the two at all.

SH2 comes on a CD-ROM. SH3 is on a DVD-ROM. It does indeed sound like you only have a CD drive.
