house of the dead 3 (pc) crashing
« on: January 11, 2021, 02:29:11 pm »
Hey guys!

I installed house of the dead 3 (pc version) already several times on my computer, but the game keeps crashing after i started it. I just seea black (full) screen for a short amount of time and then the whole game is closing down. I am trying to run the game on a windows 10 pc and already tried to fix the problem concerning SafeDisc retail DRM, but i think that this is not the problem here.

Did anyone of u experience similiar problems? The funny thing about this ism that at first - when i installed the crack and demulshooter for the first time - it worked perfectly for - lets say, three times - and since then it never worked again.

I would be really glad if u guys could help me out here!

Cheers and thank you!
Stephan

Yeah the game has issues.  I've had similar problems.  If your pc is powerful enough perhaps run it on a ps3 emulator.

I would run it on an older OS like Vista SP1 or Windows 7.

Windows 10 is a pig.  Nothing exotic runs on it.  It took me like 2 hours to get Crysis to run on windows 10.

Makes you want to install Windows 8.1 (again).

Actually hotd3 always had issues on vista or above.  It's just an odd game or something.

Hi!

1.- Have you tried adding the game folder to the exclusion list of Windows Defender?
2.- Do you have all vc redist and directx installed and updated?
3.- Did you try to run the game in different compatibility modes?

I had this and very oddly, the solution for me was enabling Anti-Aliasing in the setup menu. Maybe give that a shot?

edit* sorry, I had meant disabling Antialiasing. Although I am noticing in my Windows 10 install I am still not having luck. I've noticed running it under administrative rights says something about 'this can only be run from the launcher.' This is fixed through the registry edits mentioned here:

But I am getting similar issues - the game launches briefly fullscreen then quits. I'll let you know if I find anything (likewise please share if someone gets it!)

Do you have all the codecs installed? Also too many USB devices caused it to do the same for me.  Launch it with just your lightgun, keyboard and mouse plugged in. See if it works.  Then, if it does, you can add one usb device at time.
