Silent Hunter III disc problems

Harps666 · 08-16-20, 02:01 PM

G'day I have Silent Hunter III on disc & want to start playing it again on a LT running windows 7 Pro but because the disc is from 2006 it won't play. What can I do to fix this problem. I'm not tech savvy & since I can't go to my rifle range I need to shoot something whether it be torpedos a deck cannon or flak guns.

Cheers [_])

Hi Harps666 A Warm Welcome to Subsim

Your SH3 disc the original with starforce protection on disc not like the one in the picture this is the version i have
But if it is like the pic then your SH3 Disc is already patched and has starforce removed.

1.4 Patch for SH3 but ensure you install the right one for your location

please let us know how you got on fixing your SH3

if all goes well when you hover your mouse pointer over your SH3 exe it should say 1.4.0.1 then you know its patched

Looking for help with the same problem. If I read this correctly, I will need to buy the steam version? Hating the fact that operating systems are not easily backward compatible.
