I am having problems with house of the dead 3 I tried the no cd patch advised. And although the games started up and played it did not continue to do so what I left the game and started to request that the game could only be started from the launcher.

Re:JIMBLES Before launching hod3, I clicked on "PLAY GAME" from "hod3launch.exe", nothing happened, but when I closed launch and started hod3.exe with "Run as administrator" checked in the properties, the game worked. However, there is a chance that a white screen will randomly occur. (The Japanese version does not even open a window.)

Jimbles19 Mar. 2025
I think something has changed in a recent Windows update that makes this not run. I had this installed previously a few months ago and it ran perfectly fine. Now on two different machines updated to the latest Windows 11 update, I get a white screen and the game stops responding. Could anyone look into this? Garbe in the comments also had the same issue from what I can tell from Google Translate.

What can I do if I get a lot of graphical errors during the game when I run it? I've tried everything, I understand that it's difficult to run old games on current computers but I really want to know how to fix this error.
if your game doesn't launch because of that administrator thing, download the NOCD 914 KB extra. unzip and you'll get a hod3pc.exe file last modified 2/12/2005
Back to your THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD3_EU folder, open the exe folder and it will have hod3pc.exe. Replace that one with the new 2005 exe file and you should be able to launch the game this time
also if you wanna exit the game, you gotta alt-f4

Working for Windows 11 on a modern laptop 12800HX, 64GB Ram, 3070ti
Step 1: Download either this ISO VERSION (really it is an MDF) English version 491 "MB House of the Dead III" or the one on "oldgamesdownload" site; the latter has the crack in the download.
Step 2: After the download has completed, you will find a "The_House_of_the_Dead_III_Win_ROM_EN" zip file. open it. Inside of that will be a folder called game files. Extract that wherever you want. Open it up and you will find a "HOD3.MDF", mount it and you will have access to the setup installer.
NOTE: if mounting for the file doesn't work, you can just convert the MDF to ISO with the "MDF to ISO" freeware program. Once converted mount the ISO or open with Win.rar and access the setup installer. wincdemu for me didn't want to work at all with this games MDF or ISO
Once installed, open the House of the Dead III game folder (will be where you installed it to) and drop the NOCD crack into the EXE folder, I always backup the exe, up to you if you want to.
Run the game from the launcher and you should be ready to go.

Okay, when you download the file. You'll be given an MDF, MDS and DS_Store . You need to mount the .MDF file, I use Virtual CloneDrive to mount .MDF files. It will be the biggest file in the folder.
Once you mount the files, you can access the game's files like you inserted a disk. Run hod3Launch.exe that will open up the launcher. Install the game and if necessary, install DirectX while you're at it. After you install the game, you should be able to launch it.
If you're not satisfied on how the game runs, go into the GRAPHIC SETTINGS of the launcher and you should be able to change resolution, max framerate, the graphics, etc. If your game is running slow, lower the texture quality and turn off anti-aliasing.
At this point, you should be able to play the game. Have fun.

Andrew19 Apr. 2019
Wish I could help, Anne, but that is a unique problem I never bumped into. I would assume you would have to install DirectX but I'm guessing you have already done that. You might need to Google about it. Don't put "House of The Dead 3 DirectDraw Init Failed" but instead put the problem in by itself. Other people might've suffered from it from other games and there might be a global fix for it somewhere.

Hi, I have a problem, when I follow Andrew's instructions, and I try to open up the launcher, a message that says "DirectDraw init failed. The sample will not exit" appears. I'm not a English speaker, and I'm not a technology person, sorry for all the mistakes. Can somebody help me, please?

There is nothing inside the zip. only some files that I can't open or run.
Best fuckin' game ever
where is the hod3Launch.exe?
Wish I could help, Anne, but that is a unique problem I never bumped into. I would assume you would have to install DirectX but I'm guessing you have already done that. You might need to Google about it. Don't put "House of The Dead 3 DirectDraw Init Failed" but instead put the problem in by itself. Other people might've suffered from it from other games and there might be a global fix for it somewhere.
Hi, I have a problem, when I follow Andrew's instructions, and I try to open up the launcher, a message that says "DirectDraw init failed. The sample will not exit" appears. I'm not a English speaker, and I'm not a technology person, sorry for all the mistakes.
Can somebody help me, please?
my childhood...
I am realy happy to share this kind of game i rememberd that when iwas 16 i enjoyed it very much.
Okay, when you download the file. You'll be given an MDF, MDS and DS_Store . You need to mount the .MDF file, I use Virtual CloneDrive to mount .MDF files. It will be the biggest file in the folder.
Once you mount the files, you can access the game's files like you inserted a disk. Run hod3Launch.exe that will open up the launcher. Install the game and if necessary, install DirectX while you're at it. After you install the game, you should be able to launch it.
If you're not satisfied on how the game runs, go into the GRAPHIC SETTINGS of the launcher and you should be able to change resolution, max framerate, the graphics, etc. If your game is running slow, lower the texture quality and turn off anti-aliasing.
At this point, you should be able to play the game. Have fun.
No comment nor review for this game at the moment.
