Good to be stubborn when playing the Silent Hunter Series, but worth it when you get to the right set-up. Did you do this: Right click on SH3.exe set compatibility mode to Win XP Service Pack 3. Do this after applying the patch. I saw something earlier in the SH3 Forums and this worked. Also I have done this before as well.

Forgot to mention it earlier.
I used the 4gb patch from the Living Silent Hunter III "tools" page. I read somewhere that it worked well with the steam version. Please note that I'm not running Living Silent Hunter. So maybe that is the problem?

I also haven't done the right click and set the compatibility mode. I will try that tonight. I usually just right click on the GWX shortcut and "run as administrator" because if I don't it crashes immediately with the widescreen mod active. I don't have to do this when the widescreen mod is inactive.

Thanks again for troubleshooting with me. It is greatly appreciated.
