Really? How about this thread? Twelve down from yours on the current page.

Anyone have SHIII on windows 8.1? http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=215100

Or did you mean that you found nothing that was specific to your problem? That's a different matter. Certainly the topic of Win8.1 and all three of the SH games has come up repeatedly here on the SubSim forums. Sorry you haven't found anything helpful.

Just an update, now have it running under Directx 11, Windows 8.1 64bit, took a lot of mucking around but after a ton of programming it now runs smooth. Why they didnt just release a patch to make it compatible is beyond me.

SH4 runs smoothly as well.

SH5 on the other hand, went straight to the recycle bin.
