Hi Fifi
I have just been watching wolfpack345 ARB tutorial on YouTube which I have to say is a very impressive mod.



In relation to LSH3-2015 the HSIE application is built into the mega mod with an additional option JSGME HSIE optional MOD to enable additional options?
Does this affect the ARB mod and also Tycho's patch?

I would be interested to know how you did your installation and any changes needed.

Did you put the Tycho patch in JSGME or directly into the main game folder?

Apert from the SH3.exe in the main game folder there is also a SH3.exe in the HSIE application found in the MODS folder, does that also need to be patched?

Peter,
Like Fifi I am using ARB WideGui and Tycho's patch with LSH 2015 quite sucessfully. Tycho's readme, included with his patch, will clearly answer the questions you have above. Additionally, Tycho has some addition code you can easily add to his patch that enhance using LNG1's SH3Log program for reporting claims of ships sunk adding a little more realism. Getting ready to try it with LSH since it works well so far with NYGM.

Hi Peter,
Just as Kelly said, i followed the ARB instructions to the letter.
Once your SH3.exe patched with Tycho, you can past it again in LSH3 2015 Patch HSIE V16B1 and activate it in JSGME

Just to let you know Peter, ARB Wide Gui is working good with NYGM too
But i found The Prody’s ARB adaptation for NYGM on his download page, and used it.

For the reference: Found it within minutes by googling this issue in German language.

Good luck to all who encounter this problem in future.
UBISOFT sale and got Silent Hunter III and may be others in this boat when trying to install the mod
"No valid SH3.exe found"

https://forums.ubi.com/archive/index.php/t-535610.html

THEIR issue was STARFORCE (Disk version)
but worked for "No valid SH3.exe found" in UBISOFT digial download
--Skip step 1
--go to step 2,
--ignore steps 3-4
--Apply step 5 and copy the files overwriting the originals (which you just backed up, no doubt)


-----------------------------------------------------------

Originally posted by Kentubi1983: (in UBISOFT forum)
I see that a lot of people need the solution, so I post it here.

1. Completely remove SH3, and Starforce:
http://www.onlinesecurity-on.com/protect.phtml?c=55
(execute the application in rar archive sfcdrvrem.rar)

Go to the buttom of the page and you find the download to remove Starforce.

2. search for
Silent Hunter 3 v1.4b [ENGLISH] No-DVD/Fixed EXE
on ************* and download it. Its a zip-file (rld-sh14.rar) containing the following files:
SH3.EXE, MISSIONENGINE.DLL, SIMDATA.DLL, UTILS.DLL & STATEMACHINE.DLL


3. Install SH3 and remove the disc from the drive after installation, make sure the game does NOT run after installation.

4. Patch to 1.4b (execute application silent_hunter_3_dvd_1.4b_emea) and make sure the game doesn't start after patching.

5. Extract the contents of the zip-file into SH3's install directory and let it overwrite the files it needs to overwrite.

6. At this point you should be able to play the game.
------------------------

YES, at this point you should be able to install the mod with sh3.exe being properly identified.


-------------------------------
EDIT
FYI JUST noticed this
SHIII_1.4b DiscScratchProtector Utility By Maik
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...59&postcount=1
(Removes Starforce Protection) Unpack and copy the files into your installation folder.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/9z1bf...+Power+Pack.7z

It appears to have the files needed in the SHIII_1.4b DiscScratchProtector Utility folder of the .7z file


--------------------------
Edit (years later)
I had to re-discover this and the mediafire.com files worked to allow re-install of th 2015 mod version.
Copy contents of SHIII_1.4b DiscScratchProtector Utility folder to your SilentHunterIII directory

Odd, the mod 2020 and 2022 editions did not have this problem

SteamSub, what directory (folder) do you have SH3 installed in?

D:/games/Ubisoft_Game_Launcher/games/Silent_Hunter_3/
(Mod installer files placed in here but had to navigate to it from top of the tree each install attempt no matter which directroy it was in).

NOTE I had to add "_" between "Ubisoft Game Launcher" and "Silent Hunter 3" to fill in for spaces as the installer mentioned spaces between words as an error point as well.

-----------------
Edit
I have not tested but I just noticed " SHIII_1.4b DiscScratchProtector Utility By Maik," which may also have the needed files to get rid of the "No valid SH3.exe found, " details at the end of my previous post.

Edit (years later) Yes " SHIII_1.4b DiscScratchProtector Utility By Maik," does work, copy contents into SH3 install folder, mine was SilenthunterIII.
