SH3 won't start Windows8

Not to be the stick in the mud, but the idea of having to pay again for a game that I bought when it wasn't cheap seems to be a scam. I think those of us who were subjected to the Starforce problems and have a copy with a key should either be able to get a free download or a hard copy.

I very much agree with that

I think the poster means get the game without having to update patch crack etc.

However I did a complete reload of original SH3 from old DVD this morning and updated to gwx using patch and game crack !

Now running:
Original SH3 from DVD
Updated 1.4
No cd fix patch/crack
GWX
SHCommander
SHCommander GWX cfg files
Mods


Tricky if you are not computer minded but ok if you are.

Problem now is the no DVD fix has been banned it seems. Nothing but malware, adware, and viruses remain in it's place.

Huh? Wha? Don't know where you are looking, obviously in the wrong place. I just googled for it, found it immediately, d'loaded it, scanned it for malware/viruses with no problems detected and compared it to what I have already and can see nothing wrong. Took me longer to write this response then it did to retrieve the archive.

Must disagree with you. Patch is still there to be downloaded . Just google it , it's there

I stand corrected. I was able to get the .rar file with my phone. Not sure why my desktop would not download the file. It may have been an anti virus software issue, could be a setting in the browser, it is a new install of 8.1. Thanks. Between the hardware and software issues I have had with this new build I hope this machine lasts 11 years like the last one.

I can see the point of not wanting to pay again for something you've already paid full price for, and I agree in principle. I, on the other hand, was homeless for awhile. This isn't about that, but about the fact that when I was "homed" again all my stuff was buried in boxes and I wanted to play NOW! At that point ten bucks didn't seem like much at all to have a new Starforce-free copy two days later. I guess it all depends on where you're at when a decision has to be made. If I couldn't find my discs now I would cheerfully buy it again.

I agree with that completely. But I don't have any influence over Ubisoft's ethics and I'd rather play the game than stand on principle for a ten buck game. Of course, that is just my opinion. YMMV
