Re-Install (no patching), REBOOT (so that StarForce can install itself), try running the game. I'm guessing that probably the patch is causing problems here.

As written in the first post I did try to run the game before installing the official patch

From the looks of the error message it appears StarForce related. There's a fix for a similar error over on their forum. Without trying to lead you up the garden path, have you sussed out http://www.star-force.com/forum/inde...ic=287&hl=3014?

The alternative is (and this is EXACTLY your problem) what beretta did in...http://www.star-force.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=663

Other similar posts in the StarForce Technical Support forum have all been met with the same response: "Please contact us directly: support@star-force.com. The screenshot of the error and system information file will be appreciated. You can generate a system information file using Start menu: Start -> Run -> msinfo32 -> save as text file.".

But before reformatting your system, you may wanna trawl through the StarForce Technical Support forum and see if there is any better solution.

Thanks for the help mate. Will try contcting SF support. But re-formatting is not what I am going to do. Is stopped playing SHIII some time ago, mainly because I was fed up with the broken radar and sonar. Just wanted to reinstall to checkout the NYGM mod because I know Teddy is a realism junkie and honestly only thrust mods if he is a leading team member

So if SFsupport can not help me then too bad, just have to wait for SHIV,

Drebbel

PS: I am sorry I do not want to kill SFstaff, do not want to keel haul UBI and that I am even going to buy the next UBI subsim. :p

For this thread, I'd recommend the SH3 Starforce fix. If that doesn't solve the problem, then you've got a deeper problem. Such as your actual hardware quality, registry entries, or your drivers.

Other than the "bouncing external camera", the game is very stable. I've had some problems with a couple of mods, so I generally just install textures these days.
