Windows Vista: Installing SH3 and Patching 1.4b

mapuc · 04-08-09, 02:46 PM

To all

I have red every post in this thread and I can ONLY play the vanilla with a nocd-crack(sorry it's the only way) I can't patch it or something like it.

So tomorrow I'm gonna do a partitionering(you divide you HDD into several sektion) In my case two one for the vista and the other for XP home edition.

90% of my old game can only be played on XP and I'm not interestet in throwing them away.

Regards
Markus

I just installed the game, GWX and Commander under vista without too many problems The trick seems to be run everything with the run as administrator option under the computability tab clicked Installed Game, Updated Star force Ran the Game, and exit Updated to GXWIII Ran the game, and exit Installed Commander Selected the options I wanted Ran the Game from commander and exit Installed the JSGME options I wanted Game now runs fine

Hi guys
I just bough a new computer. Ive been trying to install SH3 all day now. Everytime I go to install the Starforce update it says "no protected software found".

I have the game installed under a different folder, as many people here have suggested (C:\games\....) and no luck. Can someone please help me. I love this game to death and it would drive me nuts if I can't play it.

Spring for the starforce free, patched version which does not require the DVD in the drive. Get at the Subsim store.
