Starforce + Windows X64 issue?

jason210 · 06-02-06, 08:19 AM

Sorry to bring this up again. But I did a search about this but didn't find anything obvious -no green light!

I haven't played SHIII for ages as I've been so busy working on the ship sim...and also I put X64 on my new machine.

Can one run SHIII on a 64bit OS? If not, I'm wondering if I should go back to 32-bit operating system.

I've installed and uninstalled SH3 so many times on either XP Pro or the x64...

I THINK I've gotten it to work on x64... But I can't be certain.

I never did anything special, just installed normally.

SH3 itself runs fine on x64, but the version of Starforce that comes with it doesn´t, so SH3 won´t start. There´s no official fix for that.

No oficial fix for that ,but Starforce not is a problem now,
the solution is in the dark side of the force.

Which brings up something Ive been waiting to say.

Subsim should reconsider its policy on this issue, and allow members to post the fix for this issue.

I further support posting the fix on the downloads section of the site.

Argument: Pirates all ready know about hack sites, and the people here who ask for help are legitimate bought their copy, sent their money to Ubisoft promoting the future development of simulations like this one.

Ubisoft & Subsim are being foolish telling 64 bit gamers No you cant run our game on your system. Your money is no good here.

Additionally, Windows next operating system Windows Vista is 64 bit based. Are we going to continue to tell Vista users, Nope - 32 bit only - go away.

Rethink this issue, and allow the SH3 64 bit fix to be posted here at Subsim.

Everyone will benefit.

If there was a simple "64 bit fix", like one that replaces a dll but still would require the DVD to play it, then Neal would post it on his site - if he gets the permission of Ubisoft. But there is no such fix, only a No-DVD crack. If he posts that he would directly support piracy and immediately lose all good relationships to the developers and other important people. That´s why it also isn´t allowed to post links to crack sites.
