Okay gents....PM it should be as of now if you would both be so kind.

missing dll
 

Have been using V2015 since it came out. Ran, but no wide screen and a few other problems. Yesterday, tried to run the update file. Seemed to work OK, but when I started the program, it would not run. I deleted everything and reinstalled a fresh copy of SH3 and redownloaded the 9 part mod. Reinstalled everything as per manual. When I tried to start the program, I got the Message: "The program can't start because d3dx9_42 dll is missing from you computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I reinstalled everything again and got the same result. What can I do.

Maybe a directx problem: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...481d720?auth=1

When i load up LSH 2015 (most recent patched version, fresh install of SH3) with the included widescreen mod i get the following error behind the load screen "Menu ID not found: 0x52000000! and Menu ID not found: 0x520000aa!, and Menu ID not found: 0x52010000!" I have to keep clicking OK on the error and it eventually disappears.

Any ideas?

Same here. Followed upgrade instructions:

• Deleted V15 folder
• Saved JSGME mod profile
• Disabled all mods
• Extracted Bugfix archive into the SH3 folder
• Loaded JSGME mod profile

This is my activated mods list (ordered):

• _LSH3-2015___FULLVERSION
• _LSH3-2015___Patch_HSIE-V16B1
• _LSH3-2015__BunkerStart
• _LSH3-2015__HistoricalMessages
• _LSH3-2015__NoFatigue-NoSleepCrew
• _LSH3-2015_GUI__WIDESCREEN
• _LSH3-2015_GUI__WIDESCREEN-Addon_SH3-ClassicDials
• _LSH3-2015_SLS_SpecialEffectsBig

Edit: Removing _LSH3-2015_GUI__WIDESCREEN-Addon_SH3-ClassicDials seems to help...

Yes, that's the best solution at the moment.

We have found the mistake.

Hello Everyone,

I just downloaded the latest version of LSH3 after not messing with it since the release. However my game is starting to crash constantly and I have no idea why. Is there a crash log report when it crashes or anyway I could narrow down the problem?

EDIT: Sorry forgot to mention that I was in career mode and loading out of Commander. Crashes have occurred when loading the mission mostly right about to launch or shortly after launching from port within a few minutes (Time Acceleration of course). I save only when at port and not mid-game so three crashes so far when loading. Tried to created a new career and crashed several minutes outside Stralsund on first patrol. System specs are below, only other issue is not able to use widescreen but that was an issue since the mod launch.

Thanks in advance

Does anyone have any tips for getting this to run on a Steam version of the game?

So far, what I've tried is taking a clean install of SH3 from my Steam steamapps folder and plopping it into my C drive's root directory. I've also changed the game's actual directory name to something without spaces (since the mod installer says the install path can't contain folders). LSH3 will install successfully, and I can add the main mod in JSGME.

I can load the game just fine, but the problem arises when I try to start a career or a training mission. The load bar will get to almost the very end, and then the game CTDs. Changing compatibility and administrator settings hasn't seemed to help.

If anyone has any insights or instructions, I'd greatly appreciate it. I know that the mod team has said that the Steam version of SH3 isn't supported, but I'm a cheapskate and I'd rather not shell out for a more compatible version! :O:

- problem with the location.
 

I've LSHIII edition 2015 but there's a problem with the location.
I use Windows 7 64 bits and SH III under Steam.
And each time that tells me this is the wrong place to start the download!

How can I do?

Notice the number of posts on SubSim that begin "I'm using the Steam version of SH3 and having problems...."

Spend $10.

Buy the publisher's version of the game from Amazon (or another reseller) without the added Steam DRM.

Enjoy easy installation and modding.

Use Steam, if you must, for games you don't plan to mod.

There are other solutions, but this is the simplest.

I've solved my problem and now I see that beautiful mod!

Very good work :up:
