Windows8

Not been on Subsim for sometime, can anyone tell me if SH3; SH4 & SH5 are compatible with Windows8.1

3 and 5 are. Don't know about 4 (never played it).

If 3 is the 4 certainly is, being 3 with some modifications.

I say "if" in response to the above post. For myself, I'm still stuck with XP.

SHIII works on windows 7. As long as 8 has the same ability to run a program in an earlier version of windows you should be okay. Right click SHIII, go to properties, click the compatibility tab, and you should be okay. (now this is for windows 7, but windows 8 is similar.

Second that. I'm running 8.1, but I run SH3 (Commander and GWX) under 7.

Can confirm SH4/ WoP appears to run fine with 8.1.
