Mabe some important rules to install Silent Hunter III (Win 7/8.1/10) are helpfull:
1) Never use the original default SH3 installation folder (not by DVD and not by Steam version)!
The “Destination Location/Save Folder“ must be changed/select manually during installation.
A correct “Destination Location/Save Folder“ is: C:\SilentHunterIII\ (example)
2) After installation supermod LSH3 V15 you must set manually some new preferences to the (new!) SH3.EXE!
Select the > SH3.EXE File > click right mousebutton > PREFERENCES > COMPATIBILITY
- Set: run program in compatiblity mode for > WINDOWS 7
- Set: run program as > ADMINISTRATOR
- Set: > DISABLE DESKTOP COMPOSITION
Save this with OK/APPLY and restart your computer now!
3) Check your graphical driver settings (NVIDIA or AMD)
- NVIDIA: SCALLING MOD must be > ASPECT RATIO
- NVIDIA: PERFORME SCALLING must be > GPU
- AMD: Set > MAINTAIN ASPECT RATIO
- AMD: Set > ACTIVATE GPU SCALLING
Save these settings and restart your computer now!
4) Now start LSH3 Mod enabler JSGME and activate ONLY the LSH3 V15 FULLVERSION Mod (no other GUI Mods!)
As first test just start SH3 NAVAL ACADEMY and try a quick game to test your SH3 installation and system settings.
If all works fine exit the game and activate your LSH3 WIDESCREEN Mod.
Now start SH3 NAVAL ACADEMY again and try to play in WIDESCREEN performance.
If all works fine u can start a stable career.
