Hi Urmel
Looks like some useful additions for the 2017 version regarding helping the players, especially a dedicated manual in English will be most welcome.

Hi there,

Sorry to bother you. First of all thank you very much for all the great work you have done in keeping SH3 alive. I had quit playing GWX some years ago and now decided to try LSH3-2015. What I have seen so far looks great and I'm looking forward to LSH3-2017 in summer.

There's one little catch however:
I cannot seem to get any widescreen mod to work with my setup. First of all I naturally went to my graphics settings to activate "GPU scaling" and set it to "maintain aspect ratio".

Nevertheless I always get the "cannot initialze 3D engine" message as soon as I activate one of the Widescreen Mods. I tried using only the _LSH3-2015__FULLVERSION and _LSH3-2015_GUI__WIDESCREEN mods in JSGME. As soon as I deactivate the widescreen mod, SH3 starts in 4:3 mode with two black bars left and right.

Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.

BTW:
Windows 10 Home (64bit)
16GB Ram
AMD Radeon R9 200 Series 3GB Ram
Driver Version 16.40

Hi Woof
Make sure the games video settings looks like this from Options.

Hello Berbster,

Thanks for the tip. Yep those settings are active. Doesn't help though :-(

I still had Windows 7 64 bit installed on a different partition as well and installed SH3 and LSH3-2015 there with an older Catalyst Pack from 2015. THAT works quite well. Will now try with an older Catalyst version on Windows 10 as well.

Hi Woof
GPU problem.
Please post your mods as the answer maybe here?

Hello Berbster,

Thanks. On Windows 10 I had no further Mods activated: only the main LSH3 mod and the wide screen mod.

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[E:\SilentHunter3\MODS]

_LSH3-2015___FULLVERSION
_LSH3-2015_GUI__WIDESCREEN


So far with Windows 7 everything seems to work perfectly. So I will simply revert to playing SH3 on Win7.


BTW:
I downloaded the UPlay version of SH3 for use with Windows 7, since I couldn't reinstall my older version (said it was activated too often), and it case you don't know: it seems to be missing the "radius.tga" file in the data/menu/gui/layout folder.
On Windows 10 I used the older version I once downloaded via amazon.

Hi Woof
What you need to is get a clean un-modded installation of SH3 and make a copy of it.
You now have a backup copy which you never add anything to it.
At this point there is no saved game folder until you go to the Naval Academy which is fine as you do not need to do that with this backup copy.
Making a backup copy means you will never need to do another installation download.
You always have the backup copy to take another copy from it, as and when, you want to use it for whatever purpose.

SH3 does not like Windows 10
Run all your applications JSGME, SH3Comander as administrators including the SH3.exe in the HSIE mods folder along with HSIE application.
Both of the SH3.exe should be run in compatibility mode for Windows 7.

Hi Berbster,

Thanks for your patience. Many years ago I did some modding for SH2 and later in the beginning with SH3 before the supermods came along and I was completely out of my league. :-)

However, since then I had always used a fresh clean installation of SH3, and I have had a pretty good idea what to expect, and how to treat mods with or without JSGME. That's why I was so puzzled that I couldn't get it to work.
But if you say Windows 10 an SH3 don't get along too well, I will stick with Windows 7. That's no problem at all. I always keep an extra partition with the older OS for cases such as these.

As I said: LSH3 works flawlessly with my Windows 7. :salute:

JFO! - Just Follow Orders
 

Apologies if this has been asked (looked but didn't see) ... has anyone tried JFO! with LSH ? Thank you kindly ...

Hi kc
LSH3 is an integrated package where very few additional mods are compatible.
As far as JFO is concerned there is only one way to find out.
Will be interesting to find out.

LSH widescreen not working
 

Long time no see. Just got a new rig and here I am playing SH3. Anyway trying to get LSH working properly. It works but cannot get the widescreen to work. I have read, followed re-read, followed the instructions. I have a Nividia 1070a win 10. I noticed there is no d3d9.cfg file. I tried adding this then enabling the mode via Jsgme. That did not work either.
So when I enable LSH full version, then try to enable widescreen I get a lot of warnings. Seems as though the wide screen mods, I've tried them all (that are included with dl) and all I get is a black screen.
I have gone into the Nividia control panel and did what the instructions said, yadda yadda yadda.
Any suggestions? What am I missing?

Hi H
Sounds like a Direct X problem.
You need this version for SH3 to run correctly.
DirectX 9.0C

What Windows 10 version are you running 1607 or 1703 Creator.

Did you use my Tutorials from my signature to install?
Go to C:\Documents
Are you seeing the V15 or SH3 folder?

As far as i know there is a problem with the last Win 10 update (Creaters Update) with the Wide Screen mod of LSH3 V15
