SilentHunterIII with GWX 3.0 on W8 Pro

Assuming that Win8 will behave like Win7 , just install the game outside the Programs file directory and you will be fine.

And follow Neal's guide here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=160118 if you've got an old disc with StarForce DRM.

It works fine on W8 Pro, just do what VONHARRIS said and install it outside the default programs file so the windows UAC will not mess with it.

He is right....Silent Hunter 3 with SH3comander and GWX 3.0 is running fine on my Windows 8 laptop. I also checked Windows XP Service Pack 3 under the compatibility tab and run it as an administrator. In the last month I have had two CTD's (minor setbacks), but who hasn't had a CTD with SH3

Sorry I didn't get back to you asap and thanks I really love this game SilentHunterIII with GWX 3.0, and I hope they will keep this game alive for as long as possible as I'm concern about the new W9 Blue coming out in 2015.
