Windows 7?

PhantomLord · 11-09-09, 05:52 AM

Win7 RC 64bit Build 7100
Athlon X2 240
4GB RAM
Nvidia 9800GT PCIe

It was a perfectly normal installation here. No errors or other complications. I had that 3d-engine-error some months ago on a 32bit Win XP with ATI-card

Solution was:
- complete uninstall of the graphic drivers! Use "Driver Cleaner" to kill all files from the driver. The ATI uninstaller left so much crap behind that a reinstall doesnt work properly.
- reboot system
- install newest catalyst
- install newest directx

Seems to be an ATI thing...

I'm now running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit & all I did to get SHIV to run smootlhy was to do a complete clean install, setup the options of my
previous saved games & transpose the SH4 (saved games) into My Documents folder & that completed the installation apart from reloading
my mods back on via JSGME.

All my drivers are what I have had installed on my previos O/S WinXP Pro
64-Bit.

Cheers

I'm having similar problems to the people above. Just installed SHIII on my computer which is running Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit). The native resolution of my monitor is 1900x1200 at 60 Hertz. The game will run if I switch to 1024x768, but I prefer to run at my native resolution. Any solution to this problem?

This is outstanding...Ubisoft sell with the sh3 millions of copy in this world, and even today they still want recebe more money for a game from 2005 witch is value is 10 euros! I have a the original game...and i cant play the game in my new os, if want to i must buy a new version clear of starforce with 1.4 patch with a bonus of sh2 (witch i have a long time a go). Why they dont release a tool to clean this ****? for those witch they able to prove witch they have the original game and key? ****!

Even the stock game i cant play anymore because the starforce dont allow me to play!

I agree, Ubisoft is screwing those who paid full price for the orginal game; the only solution is to purchase the new version sine starforce and patched to v 1.4b.

I'm also having problems with win7.

Here is what I have done so far :

- I have updated my graphic drivers with Catalyst (ATI)

- I have changed the resolution to 1024 x 768
- Changed de full-screen option to ''no''

Both of the last in the main.cfg file

Then I tried the No-CD crack. The game starts the 2 first movies and reaches the loading screen. When it reaches the end of the progress bar, I get a crash message saying "Sh3 has stopped working". In the "view details" arrow I see the following :

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: sh3.exe
Application Version: 1.4.0.1
Application Timestamp: 00000000

My system is a GateWay NV52 with :

- Windows 7 Home Edition
- AMD Athlon (tm) X2 Dual-Core QL-65 2.10Ghz
- 4 gig of ram
- aTI HD3200 graphic chip

If someone has succeed in making sh3 work, I would love to know how.

Thank you for your time

There is no inherent incompatibility with windows 7, including the 64bit build and having it run under WoW.

I simply ran the install as admin with UAC, tried to remove starforce but that didnt install anyway (suspect the crapware isnt digitally signed), patched it to 1.4b and I'm in with the no CD patch for build 1.4b.

dannygjk · 09-16-10, 08:46 AM

on my win 7 machine, it won't allow SH3 to start. it says the game protection software is incompatible with win 7

Cambaz · 09-18-10, 06:43 PM

Check the loading instructions on the GWX website (click on my sig) and first ensure you are doing it correctly.

If you believe you are, come back and post your system specs and describe what precisely you are experiencing.
