Once you you took out the spaces the SH3.exe could not be found until you found away round it.

Another option on your installation would be to make a copy of it as there is no reason why you need to use Ubisoft again.

Hopefully all will now be ok.

I couldn't find a way around it with Ubisoft's version as I renamed the SH3_g .exe file to SH3.exe so had to find another version. All good and well with installation. However now there appears to be another problem

When I try to start the naval academy the game is crashing just before the load is complete. Tried to go directly with campaign and again the same.

Tried everything from the Q&A regarding compatibility but is not working. The patch appears to be installed correctly. Is it possible to be the order of the loaded mods?

Also one more thing, the Commander JSGME can't find any mods. Checked the mods folder and nothing is there. Is this something to expect?

If you read my tutorials you will know that you can only start the game for the first time with 2 mods enabled before you go to Options from the main maenu and then the Naval Academy.
Entering the Naval Academy sets up the V15 save games folder.
If you have started a stock game it will set up a SH3 save game folder.

That is correct it is not used.
The mods are installed disabled in JSGME in your main game folder.

You cannot do that with LSH3 you must go to the Naval Academy first.
Check you documents folder andd see if your V15 saved games folder is there?

Check out posts#6 and 7 first.
Enable the main LSH3 mod and the default wide screen mod.
Check the video options in the game menu are set correctly.
If your game is still crashing when you enter the Naval Academy try running Windows 7 in compatibilty mode for XP.
If still a problem uninstall your game use the registry cleaner and reboot your system before installing the game.
It is important that the installation instructions are follwed correctly otherwise you will have problems.

Hello Kapitans!

I was wondering is someone would be so kind as to share their video card settings with me. I have a new gaming rig that has a Nvidia GTX 1070. The game loads fine and all that, but I have a bad case of the jagged edges on objects. I've been using the settings I had in my old card, a GTX 670, but can't seem to get rid of them.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I do not have SweetFX installed (didn't use it on my previous gaming rig, either, and didn't have the jagged problem. The graphics were great!). Also the SweetFX info in those posts is very old, some of it from 2012.

Edit: Got it sorted! Played with the FXAA setting in the Nvidia Display panel - works now :-)

Scott

Default Help -Craziness going on!

I wanted to install LSH on my current pc.
So I reinstalled SH3 on my D: drive
D:\SilentHunterIII except it didn't put it there - it ended up in VTRoot the hidden folder on drive C:. After about 3 attempts (yep I turned off my virus checker) I finally got SH3 to install & run perfectly in the D:\SilentHunterIII folder.
Then I went to install LSH3 2015 and it can't see the D:\SilentHunterIII folder when it comes to searching for the game folder. Every other folder in D: is listed except the one I want!

Can anyone shed some light on this please?
Running Core i5 quad 3.4 Ghz quad with 20Gb RAM and Win 7 64bit.

Many thanks in advance.

Phil

LSH3-2015 is not compatible With STEAM.
You need to carry out a STEAM conversion first.

Hi CC
Try running your SH3.exe as an administrator.

"You need to carry out a STEAM conversion first."

I moved a copy of my steam SH3 to desktop (would that suffice to above?)

it had the correct memory patch etc already. And did everything advised in patiently setup and LSH website.

LIVING SILENT HUNTER III mod

looks amazing! loved all the extra ships near port

Sadly it takes so long to load i wouldn't mind waiting if it was stable but then after all that wait it crashes or freezes for me!

Wish there were more realistic mods like GWX LSH that were much more stable.

LSH3-2015 is 99.99% stable and when setup correctly as in my tutorial instructions will give you trouble free gaming.
