So everything is working ok ?

Yes, I was just worried about the blank messages and thought I made mistakes at my modlist. I want to start a new career soon and I don't want to restart my career because of failures of the modifications.

Thanks for the help and happy hunting!

Great ! Have fun !

Silly Question
 

Hi, back to SH3 after a LONG absence and I have a dumb question about what do to with the SH3.exe after it has been patched. Do I paste it back into my SH3 game folder, or do I now start the game by clicking on the patched SH3.exe in my working folder? OR do I start the game using Sub Commander?



Thanks for the help. There are so many new mods and patches to old mods that it is very easy to get confused, especially as I get closer and closer to retirement age.

Hi,
Once patched, put it back where it was!
Then if you have Cmdr installed start game via Cmdr.

:Kaleun_Salute:

Place the .exe in the folder "Supplement to...." found with H.sie's patch. Place this folder in your game's mod folder and enable via JSGME. The folder's files, including the .exe file, then override the ones in your game. Check his instructions as he explained what to do.
NOTE: Be sure to also do the other preparations to this folder via the patches instructions or some of the patches fixes may not work correctly/give error messages.
Commander can be used with the patch.

Thank you, mates!

I skimmed the manual, but somehow missed the part about the supplement folder!

Time compression
 

Hi guys, my time compression is stuck at 1024 max. I tried to change it in commander and tried directly in the game folder but it won’t change. I just want to boost my max time compression to roughly 2048 so going to the USA isn’t so long. Do the hard coded fixes change any of this?I can’t thank the modders enough, they took a decent out dated game and made it phenomenal!

There's another main.cfg in the My Documents folder. Tweaking that one should solve the issue.

I will give it a try thanks

That did indeed work, thanks a bunch!

Pleased to hear that. You're welcome.
:salute:

Glad you have fixed the problem but it should also be able to be done in Commander.
Not sure why it didn't work for you.

Yeah I’m not sure. Everything else in commander seems to work fine. It’s probably a mod conflict of sorts but I am enjoying the game way too much to even think about touching my mods. I have everything the way I like it.

Hello All,


Have anyone managed to install this patch on a Ubisoft Connect (Uplay) installed game?


I am on Ubuntu 20.04 and installed Ubisoft Connect and Silent Hunter 3 with Lutris. I am able to run the unmodded game and also to install mods that doesn't change the sh3.exe file. I can run .exe files in the same prefix, so I can run SHCommander and JSGME.


If anyone has a solution for Windows I should be able to figure it out on lutris myself.



However when I tried to install the h.sie hardcoded patch, it fails.
I did delete everything, reinstall and tried on a fresh install.


h.sie complains that the exe isn't compatible.


I went down to check the version and found out that the sh3.exe file doesn't have a version and seems to be changed. The sh3_g.exe file seems to be the real exe, and it does launch the game.


I renamed sh3_g.exe to sh3.exe, but this still tells me the version is incompatible. The version of the Uplay installed sh3_g.exe is 1.4.0.1 which means it is the latest 1.4b patch.


I also tried the SH3-VersionCheck-2015.exe on the Uplay sh3.exe (finds nothing) and on the renamed sh3_g.exe (prints lots of versions and stuff, but says h.sie is incompatible).


Have anyone had any luck with the Uplay Silent Hunter 3?
Or I should get the steam version instead. I have googled this thoroughly but there is no information about the uplay version of Silent Hunter 3.


Best Regards,
