Guitar Hero 3 PC


Recommended Posts

I noticed the patch improved general performance, but on some (select) tracks there is now some warping. What I mean is, the came freezes (with the stuttering sound and everything) for a few seconds, and when it stabilizes, it warps ahead. It is really annoying.

Just do a google search on "Guitar Zero" (that's a Z), and download the game with the game songs. Haven't played the PC version (i have the 360 one), but I have played Guitar Zero (and Frets on Fire, another take on the same concept), and both run great.

I just installed GH3 for PC but haven't patched it yet. I only notice lagging ( very slight though ) when the view pans out from the stage. For example, in the jail, when the view goes all the way out to show all of the inmates, then I notice some lag and a speed change on the notes. Not too much to worry about but enough to take notice.

Here are my system specs:

Pentium D 2.4 GHz

2GB DDR400 RAM

7950GT 512MB AGP

250GB Western Digital HDD

I am running an Intel? Core?2 Duo E6750 (2.66Ghz), 4GB OCZ DDR31066 RAM, ATi Radeon HD 2900 Pro (512mb GDDR3), on an ASUS P5K Premium Black Pearl / WI-FI-AP Edition mainboard.

It's a very middle of the road system that I built myself and Guitar Hero 3 runs perfectly on it both online and offline, graphically I find it quite superior to the console versions, and for those of you with decent system that are having lag issues, there are in-game settings to correct that. On a sour note, the X-plorer guitar that comes with the PC version of the game kind of sucks, but have no worries, you too can have the sweet wireless Les Paul with the collapsable neck and interchangeable faceplates, All you need is a $29 Xbox to PC wireless gaming adapter, it won't say on the package that the guitar is supported, but I took the risk and it works flawlessly.

There is no doubt that there is a huge PC/Console debate.

And with the newer consoles becoming more of a media center rather than strictly a gaming platform, sadly I wonder how much longer good new games that start in the console market will be available for PC in the future.

Regardless of this, There are alot of us old school PC gamers out there, and it is very cool indeed to see these types of games that challenge the way we game and the way we think about gaming, coming full circle back to PC. I mean after all, They didn't program GH3 on an Xbox or a PS3.

Oh, and some other interesting news I have recently read on the subject. The ESRB website is appearing to indicate that Neversoft's new multi-instrument title Guitar Hero:World Tour, just might be coming to PC also. Although Activision at this point does not have a proper answer to the burning question.. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed and getting ready to wail on the sweet new drum set!!

I lent GH3 for the pc off a friend of mine, and i concluded that it isn't supported by my graph. card. i'm rolling a GF 8600 GT, i know its not then best card around, but it supports most of the games i play...

Now when i start GH3 i get a black screen because of my graph. card.

- I was wondering..is there perhaps a method or way, besides buying a new graph. card. to make GH3 work on the GF 8600 GT???

Please let me know if you know a way!...

I find it strange that the graph. card. of my laptop doesn't seem to be supported to ( GF 7300 Go ) but still it works on that one..ofc its a laptop and you get massive hardware lag..

Well hope someone can help me out with this problem!

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
