Impact needs to hit between certain angles to insure detonations. Later in the war both are reliable with magnetic being the least reliable particuliary in heavy weather.Ģ. Rough weather could cause premature detonations, so could local magnetic fields. Impact is more realiable during the early war since the game simulates the problems that torpedoes had then. Below is a general guide line covering vanilla, mods, and settings.ġ. Unfortunately most game publishers don't give two shits about supporting games that are more than a few years old.Depending on your game settings things change a bit. It sucks, but that's pretty much the only options. Your only other option is to do a dual boot or setup a secondary hard drive with XP or earlier version of windows. However Virtual PC supports some direct x and direct draw functionality that makes it a good choice for trying to run older games. You could try Microsoft's Virtual PC, which is a free VM similar to VMware.

#SILENT HUNTER 3 VS 5 CRACKED#

You could download a cracked version and use that. In the extremely likely event that they do not, you're list of options are short. You could check with UBI soft to see if they have a patch, it's highly highly highly unlikely that they do, but it's worth checking.

#SILENT HUNTER 3 VS 5 DRIVERS#

Likely VMware does not have drivers to allow for 3D rendering, SH3 is only 7 years old and as such is going to require a 3D accelerator which VM ware isn't setup for. #2 Looks like SH3 does use Ubisofts crap DRM software, my guess is that it's probably using a 16 bit installer which won't function properly in Win7 64bit. Mostly though, I just wanted someone to hear all the horrible stuff I've gone through the past 3 days. If anyone has any ideas of what I can do now, I'd appreciate it. That's not my typo, that's exactly what it said. The copy protection software throws an error saying the game can only be played on 'Miscrosoft 95 Server Edition'.

#SILENT HUNTER 3 VS 5 INSTALL#

I install Windows XP on the VM, and after some twiddling with the settings I get SH3 to install. I go download VMware Player, so I can make a virtual machine. This time the game boots, makes it past the intro cinematics, and crashes right as it finishes loading. (The piracy prevention software prevents legal owners from playing, but not pirates!!!) By now, I'm pretty frustrated, so I find a copy of the game online (which isn't really pirating since I do own the game), and download and install that. After a third bout of googling, it seems people with pirated copies can play fine. So I finally get that uninstalled, and it still doesn't work.

BUT, that can't be done without some poorly made removal tool straight from the company that made the software in the first place. So, after more googling, I find that some people have gotten it to work by uninstalling the copy protection software. After looking around online, I found that it was the copy protection software, which is incompatible with Windows 7, and was falsely believing my install to have been a pirated copy (I legally own the game). My first problem was that it would crash instantly on launch. Haven't been able to play it since I got Windows 7, the day it came out. #1 So for the past 3 days, I've been trying to set Silent Hunter 3 back up on my PC.
