Windows 7?

[Jimbuna]

Keeping the installation away from C/ProgramFolder should see you good to go but personally I install into D/Ubisoft/SHIII

Game installed like a dream. Plays full screen all the way up to 16:9 on my Laptop. Installed GWX3 Gold. amazing mod! Fps is over 300 in the sub and about 150 on the busy exterior shots. Everything very smooth.

Hey Guys

Bought SH 3 after discovering this forum with all the mods. Been playing other mods for awhile...

Anyway, after hours of trying, from this site's instructions and from Ubisoft's site, I have been unable to install on W7 Home 64b.

Mainly I have installed, patched. Can not install NoDVD - not allowed, even though I am admin. Also can not install elsewhere apart from X86 as clicking on browse kicks out error. Starforce removal also ran.

System. Intel i5 Quad
ATI 5700 1 Gb
Ram 4Gb

Any help out there? Frustration is running high. Either you gain a new member or the dog gets a new toy!!

Thanks.....

I've never attempted to install a version of the game with StarForce on W7 before, I purchased a new game disc.

Sooooooooo presuming you have successfully removed StarForce.............install to X86, the game should create a Ubisoft folder and all the programme files can be found within.

Right click on the SH3 exe in said folder (the one on desktop as well) then click on Properties then the Compatability tab then tick Disable Desktop Composition.

Hopefully you'll then be good to go.

I am not even sure whether or not Starforce is present. The removal tool says no drivers, it's not under processes nor apparent in any files. Jury still out...

I did tick said box but still it gives property system error and the old windows me/nt 4.0/etc line. Even through Windows compatible manual settings it shows incompatible.

Am I right in saying that it should launch before 4gb patch or is the patch essential to launching? Same for the no-dvd...

At this rate I am wearing out the disk and hdd installing and uninstalling...man, can it really be this ridiculous?

Thanks for your help - hopefully something small missed somewhere...

If you are in need of the 'no DVD' then it is highly likely your disc is old and has Star Force incorporated.

Is your installation patched to 1.4b

I would concentrate on getting the game to work before thinking of the 4GB patch.
