OMG This is driving me crazy!!!
Ahoy shipmates, well it would be if I could get the damn game working!
Have bought SH3 from ebay, and wouldn't install, as running Windows 7 64, no worries, bit of googling, common problem!! Yeah right. Have followed loads of so called fixes and none are working. I see the install on this has been a problem for abput 15 years, now is there a one stop shop for all the fix downloads etc? I've managed to get the 1.4b patch, but cant find the rld-sh14.rar anywhere. Please help! Its driving me crazy, would love to play the game again(last time was when SH1 came out!!!) MM |

MadMat,
Well, 1st things 1st: Did you install directly into the C: Drive? If you installed into any of the "Program" files, SH3 will not work. David I |

If what you bought has securom or safedisc on it, Win7 shut down secdrv in an update a few years ago which may prevent it from running.
You'll have to change secdrv so it isn't disabled. If it has starforce, there is a mod to remove starforce. If you installed to the normal install location, you'll have difficulty running the game or modding it because of windows protecting the folder and files. |

Thanks to all who replied. After advice, I ended up downloading the game from steam and it works fine. Just trying to learn it now, and there’s a lot to pick up.
Thanks again Matt |
