h.sie woes
 

Guys, I have a problem. MY sh3.exe won't accept the h.sie mod. It is V1.4.0.1, But the h.sie mod rejects it. My copies of SH3 were purchased through Amazon and downloaded, which could be the source of the problem. Anyone have any suggestions?

Did you put it a 4GB patch before you patch the Exe ?

yes, is that the problem?
EDIT: Uninstalled the 4Gb patch - no change.
Deleted the game and reinstalled with the original installation files - no change.

Еxcept to try this http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...83&postcount=1

In fact it is for dvd...

Game path is: C:\SH3W

Trying to DL the cleaner file triggers my AV, so I passed on that. It's probably fine, but not taking the chance

I hunted through a bunch of my old files and found a NOSF sh3.exe that would patch, so I'm good.
I do wonder though, why the Amazon executables won't patch. I have Admin, audit and Owner rights to the h.sie work folder . I ran the CMD prompt in God mode. It shows 1.4.0.1 for the version in details. I removed the Archive attribute, but that changed nothing. No other attributes are associated with the file.
To quote Henry Fonda in Midway "It just doesn't make sense"

I'm not going to fuss with it anymore, I have a working file, but the mystery of it does annoy me.

The exe file is most likely digitally protected. SH3 was originally protected by StarForce, which means its data is obfuscated until it's unpacked into memory at run-time. Your working exe is a NO StarForced one, which has been relieved of the SF-obfuscation.

Well, my Sh3.exe from a new Ubi Store purchase is actually named sh3_g.exe with a sig of Jan 2016.
Unfortunatelly H.sie's patch does not recognize it.
Hope it will be updated eventually :hmmm:

?? Can you make screenshot of your folder install?
Sh3 g ex ...strange!!

But First Rename "Sh3_g.exe" to Sh3.exe" .. Delete just "_g" and probe lunch game

As you can see, there is a small sh3.exe file too. I renamed the sh3_g.exe to sh3.exe and tried to Patch_SH3.bat it. But same result. It's just not the same file as the older Versions I guess.

If you " installed " 4gb patch before Hsie... Hsie cannot work good
No important if you "uninstall 4gb patch"
Your. Exe is unusable for hsie patch
Need uninstall game, clean registry
And reinstall SH3 ...
what your Mod list?

Probably your sh3.exe is bloatware version of sh3.exe
Solve this problem with:

:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

If 4g patch is already installed, there must be in your sh3 installation repertory a sh3.exe.Backup folder (just below sh3.exe).

For hsie patch installation, simply use this sh3.exe.Backup and rename it sh3.exe
:-)

I had the same problem as you,do not apply the 4GB patch first,run the h.sie batch file,and then you can proceed with 4GB patch.
