onionkun (2011-10-26)

Hi, extremezone, I finished downloading Stronghold 3. I copy and paste the files. But when i double click Stronghold 3.exe. The Game Started then it give me Stronghold 3.exe has stopped working! ???? what happen ??

Sopornoir (2011-10-26)

I'm getting a "Failed to Initialize engine" error, any clues about why this is happening ?

onionkun (2011-10-26)

i found a solution for my problem, you need to go to stronghold 3 .exe. Then right click property, they make it Window XP or Vista.
IF you are using Winidow 7 and having this type of problem

Honjura (2011-10-26)

Thanks for the upload extremezone, you give me the chance to play befor i pay. ive heard this game is getting bad reviews.

ChokoMon (2011-10-26)

@Knight_JC How can be Steam , its a pirated game u piece of shitbrain retarded.

@extremezone Why u never tell in description what languages comes whit the games u upload.... cmon

ChokoMon (2011-10-26)

extremezone fuck u

Sivos (2011-10-26)

@manny
It's the just the first day, man, calm down. Give people time to download it. At least there are more seeders than the new Battlefield.

Sivos (2011-10-26)

@ChokoMon
This is a Steam game, moron. Read the description. Even though it's priated doesn't mean shit, that just means you wouldn't have to play it through steam (herp derp, why they crack it). And he never posts what language it is because, well, there's a lot of different languages used. Read the description, says right there you PICK your language. So stop trolling, moron.

batera-vitor (2011-10-26)

Por que tá tao lentooooo????
Why are you so slow to download?

Nanijirobi (2011-10-26)

On demonoid there is a bunch of skidrow crack fixes, but I don't know if they are legit or not. Haven't finished downloading this yet so I don't know if it works on my pc.

mannyxz (2011-10-26)

@Sivos Did you notice how many people were done and still didn't seed? WAY too many!

omenofgod (2011-10-26)

Don't even worry about downloading. I actually bought this game and there is no skirmish mode so its basically a pile of shit. The other modes are pretty damn dumb. Furthermore the graphics on it are weird and looks like bad claymation.

Darcwalker (2011-10-26)

Thanks works great. Seeding

alright I feel like I'm taking crazy pills or I have made a serious error in my ability to process information. How do you "install" this? copy all files into steam apps? I didn't see a setup file anywhere and there was no auto run option on the cd. Can someone explain this to me? thanks

argayadi (2011-10-26)

Thanks EZ ;P
i'll seeding 4 a year.....hohohohohooo

DarkAnon666 (2011-10-26)

They could give this game away and I wouldnt play it.. So many bugs. Deleted and going back to stronghold I/Crusader.

TTYd (2011-10-26)

As above, no idea how to install this! Assets, Bin, Resources and installscript.vdf - I can't find an installer in any of those directories and no idea what to do with a .vdf file, please help!

menk01 (2011-10-26)

right go it to work what i did copied all files from skidrow folder then pasted them in bin folder of the installed dir.

truedeath (2011-10-26)

So game installs fine, but i have a problem. On mission 3, while playing my units seem to get stuck and i can't move them or give them any orders.. Any help on this? For all of you complaining there is no install, wake the fuck up. Thank you

thatloopydude (2011-10-26)

dont waste time with this game, if you have played any of the stronghold games befor this one, you will be disappoint... the game is full of bugs and the building is horrible. There is no scrimmage mode to vs ai and the story is bad. Arrows from archers fly through the walls you make killing everything.
Thanks for the upload Extremezone, the torrent works great and it has no probs starting up, but the game is very bad...

Somarlo (2011-10-26)

god damn it people,will you bloody seed,i'm getting 50 kB/s ,i know it aint my line cos i have a 100/100 line,its just you selfish fcukers that wont seed...

Crackdave (2011-10-26)

Thank u extremezone ur awesome.
But for some reason it dosnt work for me, when i try to start the game some kind of steam error comes up and it dosnt start.
And when i try to start it from the stronghold file that in the bin/win32_release it says some dll-file is missing.
Anybody know how to fix this?

TTYd (2011-10-26)

'Install' it by copying the files to a drive and replacing the files in /bin with the ones in the crack game.
Played for 45seconds before the first game-breaking bug, cba with this.

Crackdave (2011-10-26)

Nevermind my other comment, i got the game starting but right after the "fireflies studios" screen the game crashes and a error comes up saying stronhold3.exe has stopped working.
Pls help

huggle12345 (2011-10-26)

for the best download software use vuze

sauceer (2011-10-26)

100% works fine thx !!!

freelancer4 (2011-10-26)

This game is shit right ???

perarnt (2011-10-26)

A disappointment compared to previous stronghold games..
Thanx 4 up!

david21sfx (2011-10-26)

Hmm, I am a fan of the stronghold series, played it to the first one but... by the comments, reviews, and outcries of all players, in different forums, even on steam saying how bad, buggy, and difficult to play this game is comparing to its predecessors... Hmm I'll not ruin my childhood memory of this game ^.^ probably just gonna be a waste of space... Good luck to the rest of you downloading it ^.^

nick.nider (2011-10-26)

110% shit, it made me really sad...

Taanys (2011-10-27)

DO NOT DOWNLOAD! I mean, I know, it's free... but still... This game is going to make your head explode because if its absolute failure ...
just read that to get an accurate picture

 TAKINI (2011-10-27)

played 6 mins and unistalled this shit...

halofan11 (2011-10-27)

The game immediatly crashes when i start it up?
It is because i don't have the right system requirements?
My specs are listed below.
AMD Semphron SI-42 2.10GHz
2.00GB (1.75 usable)
32-bit operating system
ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics

funeralparty (2011-10-27)

any chances for shogun 2 with all new dlc to be uploaded by You Ex?

nick.nider (2011-10-27)

original stronghold all the way...installed it now, and man, ended up playing it for 3 hours...it really never gets old, every aspect of the game is better then in stronghold 3, even the minimap is better (lol)

SoulSauce (2011-10-27)

Why did it take them so many years to release a game that is... believe it or not, not as good.
Almost identical to the original, but dumbed down.
Gigantic disappointment... abysmal failure.

mikeesm (2011-10-27)

thanks for info who tryed it wont bother

Mattyo9 (2011-10-27)

I completely agree with everyone; not a fan of this game at all

ChaosZDH (2011-10-27)

These are days im glad extremezone exists....this game is terrible i cant believe Firefly had so much promise and blame.
RIP Firefly

Squishygiblets (2011-10-27)

Thanks for the upload, but the fans are right, this game is awful and seems to have some crash issues.
Keep them coming though, we appreciate it!

marcie301 (2011-10-27)

omg i love this game!! it is so much beter than the old games!!! worth downloading!!!

ismellfunny67 (2011-10-27)

Excellent upload, but I'm gonna have to say they ruined this game. Kingmaker and skirmishes were the only things I played, and they took those modes out of the game for some reason. Firefly made some good stuff, but this is pure shit.

heet_lv (2011-10-27)

why my game crash?

brutal_product (2011-10-27)

extremezone=win
not going to read every comment like i usually do, but saw a couple on page 4.
the game blows, sorry. it really does. only reason i came back was to look for an update, like asap! might be a decent game with a LOT more user-interface friendliness, but i doubt it.
2.5/5 ..and omfg, I tried...
extremezone ftw!

brutal_product (2011-10-27)

@extremeWINzone: I love these guys and will buy the game, but plz look into Grim Dawn?

j-d-u-k (2011-10-27)

Had problems with it crashing on start up, I solved these problems by running it as administrator and blocking the programs main (.exe) file in my windows firewall.
Thanks for the up EZ, needed to see and play before I buy.

-OLDBOY- (2011-10-27)

They have released a patch on Steam fixing a list of problems, hope it comes up for download here soon.

Groundunit (2011-10-27)

can someone post the patch??

heet_lv (2011-10-27)

help my game crash at the 30 sec

j-d-u-k (2011-10-27)

THE STRONGHOLD SERIES...
1. Stronghold (2001) (Single Player & Multiplayer online)

2. Stronghold 2 (2005) (Single Player & Multiplayer online)

3. Stronghold Legends (2006) (Single Player & Multiplayer online)

4. Stronghold Kingdoms (2009) (Multiplayer online only)

5.Stronghold 3 (2011) (Single Player & Multiplayer online)

Personally I think this game (Stronghold 3) is quiet poor, the best one for me is Stronghold Legends, it's a shame really I had high hopes for this game.

j-d-u-k (2011-10-27)

It should have been great, it could have been great, sadly it falls some way short of the mark and only manages to present what we have seen before but in a very buggy, unfinished package.

Groundunit (2011-10-27)

we need patch...

 wowcabbage (2011-10-28)

Could firefly release a more buggy game? What a kick in the teeth for people who paid full retail.

hmongmadefilm (2011-10-28)

IT SUCK DUDE.. IM A HARCORE SINCE PART ONE AND THIS ONE SUCK.. GRAPHIC WAS A LITTLE TOUCH UP ONLY.. GOT DIZZY STOP PLAYING ERRR...

Groundunit (2011-10-28)

how hard can it be to get the patch from steam and crack it??? they cracked the game in just a matter of hours...

Irishramb (2011-10-28)

i'm pretty sure they release games and make them shitty on purpose to fuck with people who pirate. then they slowly patch the game and charge money for dlc and bullshit to people who pay. pretty lame.

a3sir (2011-10-28)

it starts but it crash.. i even put /offline

Skibo12 (2011-10-28)

where is the patch ?

amir741 (2011-10-28)

stronghod crusader is dad of this shitty game.......

teriyakidon (2011-10-28)

does this have LAN capabilities?

Irishramb (2011-10-28)

works. interface is a little buggy.

Gerbuli (2011-10-28)

Well this isn't that bad.
I played for ~30min and discovered that:
#1 My 20 pikemen got killed by 5 enemy pikemen since my pikemen stopped fighting once they killed the first enemy man I ordered them to kill. They did have the "aggressive stance", but that didn't seem to make any difference.
#2 I built a wooden wall around my base to protect my peasants from the wolves in the woods. Little did I know that the wolwes could just run through an invisible door on my solid wooden wall. Raped everyone in my base.
#3 My archers were up in a tower but still couldn't shoot back at the enemy archers standin down in the ground level, shooting my archers.
... There will be a hell-of-a-series of mass suicides for those who payed 49,99€ of this shit.
Thank god I didn't!

Gerbuli (2011-10-28)

To HempTeam
Oh yes I forgot to mention the amazing climbing abilities of the wolves :D
I had this wooden outpost, which is a platform ~5m high with stairs in the middle to climb into. Had some archers up there and the wolves indeed had no trouble climbing the 100% vertical stairs up to the platform and attack my archers.
It seems that the Firefly team has spent majority of the time they had improving the physics of the game. Yes, the archer that just got killed does fell pretty nicely from the tower and pikemen dying on top of a hill may roll all the way down. Realistic and nice.
Such a shame that they have had such a false overall picture of the game. While having ok graphics and physics the gameplay itself was left unattended and therefore its slow-going, boring and yet pretty buggy. It doesn't work as a whole.
The bugs can most likely be easily patched off but the whole gameplay might not.
Well. I'll just keep playing the old strongholds.

Openmind1 (2011-10-28)

the upload is good, it works and all. but seriously this game sux!! i loved stronghold 1 and 2.. but this is a piece of shit! people as much as i respect skidrow, this game is not worth the download

Groundunit (2011-10-28)

Well I actually like this game opposed to many who think its crap. Yes, it is basically just a remake of SH1-2 but its a good game overall and it just needs to be patched.

asgpk (2011-10-28)

hi my all friends
Dear i am going to download it. can anyone tell me after installing the patch is it working fine? or not?

shaboogamoo (2011-10-28)

It tells me it can't start because d3dx9_43.dll is missing, how do I fix this?

shaboogamoo (2011-10-28)

Ok I found out that the missing .dll file is fixed by re-installing Directx (derp)
But when I started the game the stronghold3.exe stopped working?

samljer (2011-10-28)

Not only can wolves use ladders... but wood walls can be run though by them too.
Peasants seem to ignore bears; which sucks because when a bear is raping them, they stand around, dancing and singing, wtf.
Crashes every 15minutes or so, and I have to try to open the game about 5 times before it gets in without a crash.
The franchise ended before this game, because whatever this is, its not stronghold 3.

roddev (2011-10-28)

Run Game as Administrator... this will fix the crash in the beginning of game! Enjoy...

hahahahohoho (2011-10-28)

@ some people: Don't be so rude saying "Do not download this game"...just download it and test it.
I can't say that it works or not because I didn't downloaded it yet, but thanks extremezone for the opportunity to try this release. I will D/L it, I'll test it and I'll wait for a patch. If I'll really love it, I'll buy it.
extremezone, you are one of my 4 favorite mega trusted 11/10 fun providers.

Hi My All Thief friends
hope you r fine.
i am thankful to Extremezone for uploading this torrent.
i am sure it is fine.
but i am having a problem i am unable to mount it with powoerISO , can anyone tell me from which software should i mount it?

praxus (2011-10-29)

good upload, very bad game

inCarbon (2011-10-29)

Thankyou Extremezone. Good clean UL again.
Is there any way we can patch this ourselves, or does anyone know if one has been cracked yet?
Without a patch it really is quite unplayable. Judging by what ive read there has been a 3rd/4th update released thus far, but can only be obtained through STEAM. Any help anyone?

inCarbon (2011-10-29)

Judging by the reviews and the time Firefly is taking to resolve issues, its unlikely we will see a cracked patch any time soon, that would make enough changes to gameplay/tech issues to enable the game to be enjoyed. Pity.
Glad i didnt buy this on release, credit to TPB/UL.
Thanks again.

Bollerikarry (2011-10-29)

I'm getting a "Failed to Initialize engine" error when I tried running the game. Somebody help me plzzz.

vet_pens (2011-10-29)

Could someone please post a patch compatible with this update? This is 1.0.1, 1.1.24 has been released.

arontj (2011-10-29)

@avivwcw .. dont whine about something that you are getting for free, and because you can't get it to work because it's your own damn fault you retard(or your lame pc) . . .

Dufox (2011-10-30)

not sure why all the negative reviews, has to people people trolling. if you liked stronghold 2 then you will prolly like this game.
as for not working. this has been the easiest game to install that iv seen in a long time. win 7 professional 32 bit, install. copy crack. play.
maybe i just got lucky
cheers extremezone

denizzo (2011-10-30)

If it CRASHES on start up Run as Admin or go to stronghold 3.exe than right click property/compatibility than (run this program in compatibility mod for Win XP or Vista)

kopimi1911 (2011-10-30)

@avivwcw, FUCK YOU,you insolent piece of shit.
He's doing this shit for free for people like us..and the least is give him respect for trying.
And I have had NO problems with his torrents. Your stupidity is the root of all your problems.
Long live SKIDROW.

Dufox (2011-10-30)

took me a while to see why people hate this game :D cant believe they released this game in this condition. atleast they didnt steal my money :D when it gets patched might be an epic game. should have been illegal just to release it imagine how the people who payed for it and dont have the internet feel lol
anywho thanks again extremezone i love you :D

Fireod75 (2011-10-30)

Even though this is a long awaited but buggy and dissapointing installment of a great series? its still worth playing for the graphics and character animations. i for one would appreciate an update on here. it just needed a skirmish mode, baffled why they could'nt have added one.
Thanks for the upload EZ, u saved me 30 quid :)

Kozone (2011-10-30)

Installed, copied crack. ''Failed to initialize the engine'' error when starting. Reinstall doesnt help.

raain (2011-10-30)

FAILED TO INITIALIZE ENGINE FIX (for laptops):
Go to start->device manager->display adapters-> DISABLE your lower end graphics processor (built in chip) and do not restart your computer.
The error happened to a lot of people who have 'power saving' modes for their laptops.
**also, when will the patch released on steam get up here?

amfefe925 (2011-10-30)

goddamn! seriously? my pc broke.. now i cant play this game.. im a big fan of the first one.. is this one good? i might just play it on my laptop..

simas__42 (2011-10-30)

it's not working and writing "this application has failed to start becouse d3dx9_43.dll was not found. re-instal the application may fix this problem" when i'm re-instaling it's seim

Grzabek (2011-10-30)

Nice release, everything runs fine, the problem is in the quality of the game by it self. Fire Fly studios made the most bugged game i think i ever had opportunity to play. I wanted to buy it how ever lacking of skirmish make the "game play intrest time" a lot shorter... Any news about update? As i heard there is one on steam allready... how could they release such a bugged game ?

hahahahohoho (2011-10-31)

From Grzabek:
"... how could they release such a bugged game ?"
IMO; Diablo 3 and TES V Skyrim will be released soon. Maybe FireFly shit his pants for this, or under the investors presure.

hahahahohoho (2011-10-31)

Oooops, sorry for double post but I'm not sure why it happened =P

Atharol (2011-10-31)

The game works to start. However you cannot play the game. when you press on start the game quits. i'm not shure why SKIDROW dident test it before the relesed it. i suggest we wait for Reloaded Torrent.

Grzabek (2011-10-31)

@ Atharol
So please tell me how did it happend that on VISTA X86 (laptop) it runs without any problems? SKIDROW never fails, just apply the administrarion previlages to exe file and it will run. (I have only problems with some aditional missions from the "historical battles", some of them stops on loading screen, rest is fine)
@ hahahahohoho
Hmm, this made some sense to me, how ever the strategy of development made them loose clients like me - i wanted to test the game before running, so i think i would make a lot of noise on official s3 forum after buying that game ;) i cant comlete the 4th missions becouse enemy units go through my walls! i cant set a troops into towers becouse they cross the wall! I cant build a stairs to let the men enter on the walls ;D IM STUCK ;(
The only thing i can say, is that game works... but i sugest not to download it, if you dont want to hate it from the start ;D

vinnass (2011-10-31)

Well, actually many ppl are having the same issue as me trying to play on a notebook and getting the ''failed to initialize the engine'' error, but they could avoid it disabling Intel HD Graphics card. My notebook have the intel one and a Radeon HD 6770, but when i try to disable intel's one from the device manager my screen turns off and i cant do anything but to force the notebook to turn off. In switchable graphics im using the radeon one, so why i cant disable intel's one?

herlon-braga (2011-10-31)

Game It's Working!
***To play the game run as Administrator***
Good Game!
Jogue o jogo como ADMINISTRADOR

heavylol (2011-10-31)

can someone upload the latest patch?

phifi (2011-10-31)

is there a chance to get a patched version of this game? or is there already one and i didnt notice?
this version is just so buggy, that its not fun to play at all...

Scout19D (2011-10-31)

is there a patch?

Dufox (2011-10-31)

yes there is a patch but atm its only for legit versions bought on steam. i havnt been able to find a standalone version yet. but in time.
to everyone that cant play on there laptop there is a solution that has already been provided if you wanna take the time to find it. (not the run as admin) it has to do with ur drivers.
just because it doesnt work at first it is not skidrows/extremezones fault. there are countless different types of computers that are all configured differently. something on your end is not right and needs to be changed.

Strykestar (2011-11-01)

if you also have a problem with the application load error just put the files from the skidrow folder in the bin AND the main folder of the game

FalconGrey (2011-11-01)

So far runs good on my system. No crashes but there are a lot of issues Firefly is saying they are working on. As Dufox stated, there is a patch out and another in coming said from firefly's forum. We just have to wait on Skidrow to getting time for it instead of insulting the work done.

Aigre (2011-11-01)

Thank's for the crack.
I'm so disappointed with firefly. I bought the pre-order package from gamersgate, and they forced me to install it on steam!!!!!!!!
Never gonna give firefly another cent.

Zardrak (2011-11-01)

I get an appcrash when I try to start it.

marcus.ei (2011-11-02)

Yet another disappointment from skidrow. I've never had one of his torrents work ever! No matter how many hours I dedicated to getting them to run properly.
Thanks for a long string of terrible torrents Skidrow.

olleonardo (2011-11-02)

Good torrent, fast download and no problems with the game. I did receive an message when I tried to open the game the first time "FAILED TO INITIALIZE ENGINE" but fix it with raain's explanation - "FAILED TO INITIALIZE ENGINE FIX (for laptops):
Go to start->device manager->display adapters-> DISABLE your lower end graphics processor (built in chip) and do not restart your computer.
The error happened to a lot of people who have 'power saving' modes for their laptops."
Then the game crashed after the first "trailer" at start of game, but ran it as Administrator the second time, and it worked perfectly.
I feel that this release from Firefly is disappointing. I mean that this game is worse than Stronghold 2.. I like the collections and have waited a long time for this release. Very disappointing release...
- olleonardo

CureTech (2011-11-02)

Hey extremezone could you upload stronghold3 patches also?? Think many would appreciate that...

goingmad1 (2011-11-03)

Great release as always, but the game by itself is shitty at best. Better download or buy Crusader ( it's cheap now). Avoid at all costs if you are a big fan of first Stronghold.

abdelking (2011-11-03)

@ goinmad, you should download crusader, really fast download 900 mb or something :)

webjogi (2011-11-03)

@ extremezone
Thanx a lot
People game works really fine. Just do the right way.
Step 1:
Copy files from
SKIDROW\bin\win32_release
to your
C:\Program Files (x86)\Firefly Studios\Stronghold 3\bin\win32_release
Step 2:
If using laptop, then
Open device manager
Expand Display adapter
Disable built in graphics (Intel)
AND ENJOY

RISBL1990 (2011-11-03)

this is really good game,size of the game is not big just 3,53GB.
thx extremezone for great torrent!!!

RISBL1990 (2011-11-03)

this game is really good,size is just 3,53 GB
thx extremezone for great torrent!!!

FalconGrey (2011-11-03)

@CureTech
Skidrow hasn't released any of the patches yet so at this point if anyone does it would be nice. Game is playable and it is a good download... but without at least the first patch you will have serious problems enjoying the game for very long.

Estachio (2011-11-03)

This might be an extremely retarted question, but am I right when I say you can't make custom games? Like you can in Crusader?
Just wanna play custom games like I did with Stronghold Crusader, but I can't seem to find any option for that...
Help is welcome :)
Smooth torrent btw, no problems at all.

Estachio (2011-11-03)

No Custom game option?..

legio9 (2011-11-03)

Works "FINE".
On Windows 7 X64
1) open with power ISO and extract the Skidrow folder.
2) Mount the iso with deamon tools.
3) Install it all.
4) Copy/paste the win32_release folder from the skidrow folder and paste it in you in the directory of the game (program file..)
5) RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR, otherwise it wont work.
NOTE: if you are using dual display, it will fuck up the game, so just disconnect your second monitor.
YES, the game has bugs (like most games), but it is still playable.
YES there is no skirmish (a big no-no if you ask me) but Heck!
NO there is no virus.
YES a patch will be needed for this one; but heck!, the game just recently been released! So give some time.
"Intel inside, idiot outside", if you think that there is a problem with this image: check your hardware/software and config first!
If you still complain: get a life, you spoiled little brat.

legio9 (2011-11-03)

@extremezone/skidrow: Thank you, as usual, your release are of a great quality.
@Noobs:
Work fine on window 7 X64
1) with power iso, extract and copy the skidrow folder.
2) Using Deamon tools, install it all.
3) Copy the win32_release folder located within the skidrow folder; Paste it in the folder where the game been installed (program files..) and replace the current win32_release with the "skidrow" win32-release.
4) Run the game as "run as administrator", otherwise it will mostly crash at start up.
Note: For some reason, having dual display crash the game, by simply disconnecting the second monitor, it fix it.
Yes, there is bugs (like in any games), but it is still "payable".
Yes a patch will be needed, so give some time OR manage to create a patch yourself....
NO there is no virus.
YES the image is fine, check your system and methods before complaining.
Yes there is no skirmish, a huge no-no if you ask me.
Yes, compared to previous Strongholds, if you remove the visual effects, there is LESS "substance" and less craftsmanship.
If you still do not know what to do: ask intelligently a question and say what you have done so far, so we can pin point the problem and try to help you.
If you still complain: Get a life you little spoiled brat.

izvone (2011-11-04)

I have a problem it says missing file d3dx9_43.dll..please help!

legio9 (2011-11-04)

d3dx9_43.dll is a file normally located in system32. Weird that it is missing.
Anywhoo, you can download it directly at www. dll-files.com

Hello, I have installed everything as the directions said, however I did need to install some driver thing. Anyways, when I start the game it is just a black screen and I can hear my cursor go over some of the menu buttons and can hear a click when I click them, but I cannot see anything.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

redxrob (2011-11-07)

@redxrob you've got a shortcut right? run that as administrator

steelllynx (2011-11-09)

Mouse cursor is buggy as hell in this game. It's almost impossible to attack because the cursor keeps changing.

steelllynx (2011-11-09)

Pretty cool game but the mouse cursor is buggy as hell for me. It's very hard to attack unless I zoom in really far because the cursor doesn't want to stay a sword.

wolverineweapon (2011-11-10)

acklic (2011-11-13)

about this copy:the steps are a bit incorrect: everything in the win32 release replace in the win32 release installation folder, it should work fine ;)
abaout the game:if you are a fan of the Stronghold editions, it will satisfy you. Stronghold 3 is: Stronghold Crusader's gameplay and Stonghold 2 graphics. Enjoy!
Special thanks to the uploader ;)

SuperDry_Man (2011-11-13)

Still getting the same problem. Black screen after the 67logo thing, i get audio, but black screen :/

Scubahood (2011-11-15)

Thanks for the torrent as always works just fine! Though I must say...its hard to fathom just how shitty this game really is. I cannot figure out if they really did anything new- the graphics and gameplay are almost a downgrade from stronghold 2 (which is saying something...) Spend your time on another game

fishin_magician (2011-11-16)

I keep getting an application load error help please !

dextersnake (2011-12-02)

the game begin to run but just after windows tell me the game crash why ???

inulled (2011-12-02)

Run as Administrator. Works great for me.

MrWineGhumz (2011-12-10)

IMPORTANT: It crashed every time I tried to open it, but then I figured out that you have to run the game as administrator. If you do so, the game runs perfectly.
You are the best, keep up the good work!

vBase100.dll is missing from my computer it says, what can i do to fix that?

faizaan10 (2011-12-28)

i need a patch. This game has so many glitches. in the 2nd level of the ECONOMIC CAMPAIGN i built walls around my castle to secure it from wolves.then i saved the game. when i loaded the game i found many portions of wall missing which meant easy access for wolves to the castle and eventually my defeat. At first i thought there might be some other problem but when i tried with other save files,the results were the same.

faizaan10 (2011-12-28)

@Gerbuli.
That comment made me laugh like hell. Seems like i am not the only one facing these shitload of problems.
and yeah this game taught me that wolves have amazing climbing abilities. :D
i hope some patch fixes that problem.
did you by any chance face that problem that i mentioned in my first comment?

Jan_Vat (2012-01-09)

Guys, if you have bugs then download patch 1.7 from this site and copy over all the files and overwrite the existing ones. It worked for me and now it's difficult to see any bugs at all, the game is much better now. Also, if you have application load error, do the same as mentioned above, worked for me.

jebh (2012-01-10)

joker4011 (2012-01-17)

come on seed downloading at 35.8kb/s

joker4011 (2012-01-17)

Does not work...installed everything copied over everything and it still says missing d3dx9_43.dll file and i downloaded it and put it in the correct folder and still says missing file..CRAP DOWNLOAD

AdmiralPayne (2012-01-18)

Works perfectly fine, just remember to get the latest update (currently Update 8) because the game has a lot of bugs.
If you're getting a "missing d3dx9_43.dll" message, you just need to update your DirectX.

It does not work, i followed all instructions as directed and it just crashes after the beggining companies were shown, someone either fix this or tell me how too fix it. i installed all things needed yet it still does not work.

BamBam21 (2012-01-29)

Well the game is installed, all done now, but I get an error, "Steam needs to be running" anybody know how to get around this? I would be grateful.

goofywhiteguy34 (2012-02-01)

Papardos (2012-02-03)

The game runs ok:)...
No skirmish mode tho???????
Firefly ruined the game ...damn it...!!

faizaan10 (2012-02-04)

This game has many bugs.Any link to patches which could fix the problems???

bmtl24 (2012-02-05)

It works great. Thanks!
Had to do this to get it working on windows 7. Should work on vista too.
After installing dont start game.
1. Delete shortcut, open game location.
2. Copy files from skidrow folder then Paste in game directory.
3. Create new shortcut.
4. Run on administrator.
Hope this helps!!

ibirek1 (2012-02-08)

pimpmobile (2012-02-09)

Stronghold 2 is better they really didn't do anything better to this game they just made it worse there is no skirmish ability and for the movie scenes just some poorly drawn pics that looks like they were done by a middleschool kid!

rubio22 (2012-02-22)

cvolcano (2012-03-19)

This game is a
PIECE
OF
SHIT
If you are worried about seeds, PC issues, etc, count youself lucky that you didn't have to play this complete PIECE! OF! CRAP!. The designers didn't make this game, they found it buried under a flaming pile of shit in the 11th basement of HELL. IT IS FROM HELL

cvolcano (2012-03-19)

cvolcano (2012-03-19)

SLOW
UNCONTROLABLE
UNEXPLAINED
WASTE OF TIME

arturs1670 (2012-04-02)

@Papardos I actually think that this game is fine even without skirmish mode I actually do not play skirmish mode in all of stronghold games you wanna know why? that is because in most of the missions there are very much possibilties to do nothing like just fighting 7 CPUs When playing alone it is about the story!

crimsoncore (2012-04-12)

no patches?

exicee (2012-04-17)

i agree w/ those who say this game sucks. . .
yeah i'm a stronghold fan but this STRONGHOLD 3 is a huge disappointment
id rather play 2!

Onimaru78 (2012-04-25)

Stronghold 3, is very disappoint me.. :'(
But this torrent is working perfectly.. thx to uploader n seeder..

XBlueInsanityX (2012-04-30)

I dont know if anyone else is having this problem, but i cant download the torrent. I keep getting an error message saying 'unable to download torrent. Semaphore has timed out' Whats this? Oh, and usually your torrents are good extremezone. Just this one isnt working for me.

Exxoduz (2012-05-02)

I know this thread is a bit dead, but I have sifted through every page looking for a solution to my problem but have yet to find one. It seems that their were several people that had the same problem. Anyways, I have successfully ran the game, but when I do run it (as admin) it seems to be loading and going fine, but than it just goes to a dark screen. I can see my cursor and even hear background talking when it first loads (welcome my liege), but this is as far as I can go. Any help whatsoever thank you! And thanks for the Upload as well I love the Stronghold line.

Forgoth (2012-05-06)

not sure if anyone will ever see this but,is there a way to get the updates for this game?

thelonerlee (2012-05-12)

Does anyone knows where can I get the latest patches for this game? One thats able to work with this SKIDROW's version. The latest patches are patching many of the game's bugs and problems. So I would like to try it. extremezone, any ideas?

Oh my god!no need to describe the game..its more sh*t than sh*t..its a shame to be included in extremezones' upload..looks like a game in windows 95..sh*t!

janek9971 (2012-08-12)

Works Great!

OsmanliTorunu (2012-08-13)

I'm having trouble playing that game. It says that the PC is missing a file named vbase100.dll. I did copy the 4 files from the SKIDROW folder to C:Program Files (x86)Firefly StudiosStronghold 3, or is that in the wrong folder ?
Thanks in advance.

OsmanliTorunu (2012-08-13)

Nevermind, it worked after replacing the files with the ones in the SKIDROW folder. lol

HOCKEYxxPLAYA (2012-08-14)

For people who had this error, d3dx9_43.dll cannot be found, this means you do not have DirectX installed. Or, it's corrupt.
Go to Microsoft's website and download it from there.
Hope this helps!

thisisme4 (2012-08-24)

Oxygoblin (2013-01-05)

I just made a YouTube tutorial on installing this game
Search "Lin Min Htoo" and click the video in my channel titled "How to download (torrent) and install Stronghold 3"

moonj52 (2013-01-20)

seriously guys the torrent works great! the game is complete whack! honestly i read all the negative reviews and thought they were nuts I love Stronghold 2 but no they are all right its complete garbage

ToastyOne (2013-01-27)

I get an error when it launches saying "Stronghold 3.exe has stopped working" any idea how to fix this?
Thanks!

ToastyOne (2013-01-28)

I tried running it in compatibility mode and change it to run as an admin, which allows me to play the first level, but i get the same error when i try to go to the second level in economic mode. Any ideas?
Any help is greatly appreciated...

CreepyNudist (2013-02-12)

Follow these steps and Stronghold should run perfectly :
1. Mount or burn image
2. Copy everything from the SKIDROW folder to the game installation
3. Run the game as admin from the Stronghold application located to the game installation folder
4. Play the game

Furiousmind017 (2013-03-09)

how to run it on Window 8...?

GunbikeZ (2013-06-23)

Game works great for me, running Win7 x86 with all the setting on high.

megafist123 (2013-07-15)

wtf?! it says steam must be running but steam was already doing it i even put stronghold in steam but still the same fcking shit

mofucka (2013-07-18)

megafist, it seems you did not even crack the game. Crack the game, close steam, and then you can run it. You probably just added a non-steam game to the list, which simply creates an unconventional shortcut. If you do not know how to crack a game then maybe you should ask google how it can be done.

kr911 (2013-08-06)

mamoy99 (2013-12-21)

ok so you just have to follow the instruction
++++++++++
+++.PLUS.+++
++++++++++
1.
right click the firefly folder in your directory, default is:
C:Program Files (x86)Firefly StudiosStronghold 3
for windows 8,
2.
then uncheck the read-only property, and choose apply to folder, subfolder and files.
3.
in compatability tab of the Stronghold3,
(C:Program Files (x86)Firefly StudiosStronghold 3binwin32_release)
check run this program as administrator.
thats how it worked for me.
Thanks SKIDROW!

Hey extremezone

burn stronghold 3 & went to play it and it said it had a missing dll
thanks

DefinitelyTheDevil (2014-05-15)

@sp2012m
