Just bought SHIII - please help!

applesthecat · 04-23-09, 08:06 PM

HI, actually, I bought SH3 four years ago when it came out but never played it because of starforce and all the bugs. Is there a way now that I can play it with some patch that removes starforce? Also, can somebody give me a link to all the patches produced for the game?

Thanks in advance

Buy the Steam version? It's only about $5.

Hi!

You can buy the latest version (all patches included) via direct download at Direct2Drive here for US$9.95.

It does not install StarForce - at least, it did not install Starforce on my computer when I installed SH3.

Pablo, thanks, I went to that link. It does say that a patch is available for that title. I take that to mean that it comes with no patch? I did download the patch. What do I do with it? Do I need to download the game first?

Thanks

BTW, does that patch include all the fixes since the first patch came out? Do I have to download all the patches that were ever issued?

They should be starforce free and patched to 1.4b. A set of DVD with SH2 and SH3 is available from subsim and various online sources for $9.99
