Running SHIII on new PC

KleineUboot · 02-25-21, 02:59 AM

I had spent countless hours in that game on my 2 old notebooks, but since I had built a new PC in 2014 the game had started to randomly glitch out (I mean, stops running abruptly).
Can someone help me with this? Specs of the new PC: CPU Intel Core i7-4790, GPU Nvidia GTX1650 Super 4 GB VRAM, 16 GB of DDR3 RAM. (originally there was a GTX780, but it had fried itself after 6 years of usage, so I had to replace it). OS - Windows 7.
Thank you in advance!
P.S. Also, why I cannot find my old posts about patrols in SH3? Was that thread deleted?

I believe Windows 7 is the problem judging by the google results for it and SH3.
Also be sure to not install it to its default path. Make a separate path.

I have SH3 running in Win7x64, in NYGM, GWX, WAC, and LSH versions.

Set SH3 to be run as an admin, in addition to an install outside of a protected path, and install the 4GB patch.

I was hoping someone with 7 would chime in.
