SH3 installation is driving me crazy

propbeanie · 01-05-19, 09:24 AM

... and - for my computer with a Steam SH3 in Windows 7 64-bit? After applying mods, I ~have~ to start it through the Steam app on my computer. I've made copies of the Steam SHIII install for other mods, renamed them, and added them into the Steam start (and renamed their shortcuts), but I have to start the Steam app, log-in (close the ads), and [Play] from the Library menu. If I start from the desktop shortcut I previously made, or by using the SH3.exe directly, I see the screen flicker once or twice, but the game never starts. After you do all of THEBERBSTER's suggestions, if it still doesn't start from the executable or a short-cut, see if starting it through the Steam app works.

But, this was the solution. Stupidly simple. I have to start the game from my Steam account. Thnx!!!

Steam wants to check the license is all. I can start my LSH through SH3 Commander though, so I don't know exactly how that all works...
