Possible to get SH3 without Starforce? - Page 2

ReM · 12-30-08, 07:21 AM

Budget version over here (Netherlands) costs only € 5 and is patched to 1.4 and comes without Starforce. There is no manual an no reference card or map...only the disc and that's it.

For those who want to know:

I just bought SH-3 DVD from NWS for $10 and it came patched to 1.4 and NO Starforce. You dont even need the DVD in the drive after install. So much better. Thank you NWS.

I got the Encore edition for 10$ from Amazon and it came with SH2. Installed with no starforce, and I can run it without the cd.

Is this version patched to 1.4b? I have it on my wishlist at amazon...tempted to buy it. I've been wanting to play SHIII for a long time.

Cheers,

If it was possible, I wish we could get any game without Star-Force in the U.S.

Let's say I find a non-starforce version of SH3. I don't suppose there is any real way around a complete re-install of SH3 and GWX, is there? It wouldn't be as simple as installing the non-sf to a temporary directory and just copying the SH3.exe to the current install, over-writing the old one, )doing this AFTER removing Starforce from the system, of course)?

You could try copying sh3.exe and all the .dlls from the new installation. No idea if this works, but for example the no-cd crack contains just these files.

That assuming it's even possible to install it twice using the official installer. I have no idea, I've always just copied the whole directory and used MultiSH3 when I've wanted another installation.

In germany I bought SH3-Gold (v1.4b) with two Add-Ons. It is without Starforce. The Add-Ons I put in the waste-basket.
