After all of you guys reviewed it, I had to buy it.
So, I got my copy this morning. However, it won't accept my damn CD key. I just keep getting an error. My computer well exceeds the reccomended requirements, and I do not have a DVD burner.
I only have one drive, which is a lite on CD-RW DVD rom drive.
Any ideas why it won't accept my CD key?

How ****in convenient is that.
I give UBI a call and they're phone systems are down for maitenece.

for how cool that game looks in screen shots, it sure sounds like the most nightmare software on the planet from what this board has experienced....
at least thats how it sounds lol

It doesn't like the fact that you have a DVD writer/burner - it will only accept a DVD reader only setup - like anyone has jst that these days - I worked around it by copying the DVD onto a spare portable HD, then loading from there - no problems in installing and loading from then on.
I think there's another work around if you don't have a spare HD, check out their forums.

You could try contacting Star-Force (http://www.star-force.com/).

I have no DVD writer nor burner. Only a reader.
My problem is fixed though. Starforce gave me a new key code.
About a pain in the bellybutton though. And it's a hard bellybutton game.
So far, the only ship I have sank was one of the easy mode tutorial ones.

FWIW, mine works fine on a DVD burner.

Keep getting killed on mission 3 or 4 when I get too cocky......

Already did that. The lady I talked to at starforce got me up and going in about 2 minutes.
Wonder why the cdkey that came with it didn't work though.

My guess would be the incompatibility with some CD-R. Glad it's working now :)

A must-have movie in your DVD collection ought to be the outstanding "Das Boot". The prologue of this movie tells us that of 40,000 men who set off on U-Boat missions in WW2, 30,000 never returned. After playing SH3 for some weeks, it became clear why this was the case! One of the single missions in the game (I think it's Norvik) puts you in a sub at periscope depth in a Norwegian fjord, with a destroyer only ˝km away!!! Once detected by the destroyer, you can't dive, and escape seems impossible. I have never been able to get out of this one, never mind sink the target ship - the Warspite.
SH3 has always worked fine with my TDK DVD burner.
-
Worked fine with my Pioneer dvd burner, but then I've had problems with other starforce protected games...(Finally got around Superpower 2 with a no-cd download)
When I bought WW2OL when it originally was released, the cd-key wouldn't authenticate because the publishing company handn't passed on the codes to WW2OL :rolleyes:

What software was written by poles?

Alright, Im going to hijack my thread for a second.
This is seemingly the most difficult thing for me so far. Whenever I see a ship, and I approach, I'm always facing the wrong way. And I have to turn around and end up getting spotted.
Is there an easier way to approach ships and be facing toward them?
-
What do you mean by "facing the wrong way"? You mean you're travelling backwards?
