i need step by step instructions onhow to install silent hill 3!i know almost nothingabout computers but i wanna play this game so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!please help me!
Here is what I know about installing that game: It is a bad time for many people.
Rather than going through a step by step, let's see if we can get to the problem:
1) You put in the first disc.
2) It either auto-runs or you run the setup.exe file on the disc.
3) It should prompt you to put in each of the other four discs one after the other.
4) You run the game.
Now, where in the process does this all break down?
If it installs ok but you can't run it, then the first question is: What kind of video card do you have?
If it is any of the geForce MX chips, you aren't going to get the game to run correctly without an upgrade.
If you are running a graphics card that doesn't support Vertex pixel shading, then the same thing applies.
Why did they put this game out like this?
It was released on the PS2 first... Then they ported (rebuilt it to run on) to the PC. When they did it, they took the lazy way out and said basically: "If your video card can't do all the things a PS2 video chip can, then screw you."
If you can give me more info, I may be able to help you further, but just like 7 out of 10 people who try, you may not be able to play this game without upgrading your computer.
Konami, lost any future business with me over this game.
