Game loads then stops working...help!

Ferrante · 01-22-12, 04:03 PM

I am just simply frustrated. Nothing is helping. I thought maybe I did something wrong when following the instructions on removing StarForce and running the game without the disc, so I deleted everything and then did it all over again: installing, uninstalling, patching, copying and the same thing. Then I tried chaning the resolution(s) all the way down to 800 x 600 and still it will not work, citing an error message after the into, but before the main menu. I thought about buying the later version without the Starforce, but if I removed all of that and it says no drivers are found to remove and still not work, what good would that be? I might be wasting my $$, which I have little of. I would LOVE to play this game, but I am a rookie at this, so I need an eay game to start with. How much harder is SH 4? Naval Academy? If it is really to hard for a beginner, it would not be for me. Any more ideas of suggerstions, please?

SH4 isn't much different, it just looks better.

Ferrante · 01-22-12, 04:23 PM

So, do you think it would be alright for a beginner?

Sailor Steve · 01-22-12, 04:43 PM

Absolutely. Well, as alright as SH3 is for a beginner. If you understand SH3, SH4 is pretty much the same. SH5, on the other hand...

Ferrante · 01-22-12, 05:53 PM

I don't understand SHIII since I have not be able to play it. My bad...

First off.
StarForce will NOT be installed if you NEVER RUN the Game before
adding the Reloaded fix.

IF you did run it before adding the Reloaded fix?
MAYBE the removal tool will work.
I have had it NOT work properly.

At a few bucks for a newer version?
How much money is your time worth?
I can earn over $20 per hour at the right time.
Several hours of messing with SH3 installs can cost me most of my hair!

I am not worried about the newer version (sh4). I am only concerned if it would be too difficult for me as a beginner. I will befinately buy it if you pros think us newbies can do it. Does it have a Naval Academy?
