Windows XP, Windows 7, Virtual PC, SHIII

[Pisces]

Yeah, the biggest thing is to not install it in program files (goes for pretty much anything that you'll be modding someday), and remember that SH3 was developed with resolutions like 1024x768 in mind. Still need to install sh3 in windows 7 though. I'm procrastinating too much with cleaning up my disks and transfering my user profile.

I installed the Direct2Drive version on Windows 7 and it works fine, vanilla.

Welcome aboard amigo.

Are you saying that you got SH3 working on W7 with D2D?

I have a DVD version, it installed and patched fine. Usual StarForce problems, but I used an easily found no-dvd to fix that. Still the best sub-game I've played, I have sh4, but I'd rather be a German than a Yank!

I've also managed to get it running at 1280x1024, keeping the 4:3 ratio, anything else stretches it to fit my tft panel, or crashes the game.

specs;

core 2 quad 6700
win7 64 bit
4gb ram
nVidia 9800

No reason you can't run SH3 on Win 7 natively.

I have the DVD, patched to 1.4, installed GWX3.0 and SH3Commander.

Set your resolution to 1024x768 the first time you run SH3 and it start. Then, exit and edit D3D9.cfg (in your SH3 directory) with notepad. Change the resolution to whatever you normally use. Save and restart SH3. You will now be running at your chosen resolution.

I run at 1920x1080 and have not had any problems.

If you have problems with getting SH3 to run on windows 7 - pm me and I will help out if I can.

Cheers,

Just wondering, whats your signature supposed to be? It looks strangely similar, or I'm just failing as always.
