LIVING SILENT HUNTER III EDITION 2015 - News & Download

[Kumando]

Do i have to complete the exams in the naval academy before the test mission?

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Kumanso
No I do not think so IIRC.
When the game is installed just enable the main mod (essential) and wide screen mod (optional) as well.
Load the game through commander and go to the naval academy.
I chose the navigation tutorial as it was a good way to get used to the boats controls.
Doing the tutorial adds a bonus amount of renown which you can use after the testing mission (start of misssion 2).
When finished enable the rest of your mods.
If using the HSIE then the mod needs to be disabled before making any changes.

Hi All

Ive recently been playing silent hunter 3 after giving it a rest for a few years.

Ive decided to go with the living mod.

I have came across a few issues that i have noticed whilst playing the game with the commander mod.

1. not able to find an ships on the map throughout the Atlantic or north sea.
I have looked everywhere to find a enemy ship but have not spotted one.

2. When sending a contact report i get a reply from BDU but the message is empty. also i never seem to get any other reports from BDU about other activities that are going on in the seas.

I have now done the following.

1. uninstall the game.
2. deleted all saved files and configurations
3. installed game
4. install dvd 1.4b patch.
5. install living mod
6. installed LSH3_2015_FULLVERSION, LSH3 GUI WIDESCREEN & PATCH HSIE.

I have noticed by only installing the bear minimum the issue still exists.

Can someone please advise me were i am going wrong and what mods i need to install for theses issues to be resolved.

thanks

Which "living mod" do you refer to there?
The mod that you install in "6" _IS_ the latest released version.

Redo steps from 1, but leave out 5.

Report in when done.

Hello

The living mod i have downloaded and installed is:

Living Silent Hunter III 2015 V5.1

Do as I said and leave out that described step.

You should be fine then

Thanks for your reply.


step 6 is included in step 5, so how can i install step 6 without installing step 5?

:-)

I have reinstalled sh3 and installed the SHIII living mod 2015. I have also installed the following mods. ( please see attached)

I have noticed when I install the Thomsen sound pack 3.2 I get a blank reply from BDU when sending them a status report. It seems like this mod is conflicting with LSHIII?

Is this mod compatible with the Living SHIII?

Should I install these mods in some sort of order?

Hi sturulez
From my experience Thomsen sound pack is not compatible with LSH3-2015.
I noticed that in my test mission Eprobungstelle flotilla my base was in Stralsund but my boat was in the Pacific Ocean thousands of miles away.
Removed the mod and I was in Stralsund, all ok.

Hi Eric

Also, you can only pseudo-dock at U-tankers, not at surface tankers (e.g. Brake)

According to the LSH3-2015 HSIE instructions on page 7 you can.
If you want it to work with surface tankers then you need to rename Brake to U-Brake in the campaign files.

Hi,
You are right, but pseudo-docking (even at milkow ocean u-boats) works nowhere in LSH2015 (and only in LSH2015 at my home)

Hi Theberbster,

Thanks for your advice the radio log works fine, the only other issue i have is in career mode. Selected the year and flotilla in the commander start and made sure they matched what i selected in the game.

I have noticed there is no ships at sea, none in my dock and none in the English channel. Can not find one!!!

Is this a bug that i have came across, if so is there a fix for it or a solution?

thanks

Hi sturulez
Adding unrecognized mods to your game may be the cause of your game problems.
This mega mod is not designed to have mods added to it unless they are mentioned in the instructions or hsie instructions.
Ahnenerbe WideGUI 1920x1080 Final is compatible up to a point with LSH3-2015 but needs to be added after transferring from the Eprobungstelle.

I have not come across any problems with this mega mod too date after many missions and game saves.
I thought I read somewhere that the single missions could not be used, but I cannot remember where I saw it.

Hi Guys

I am trying to get SH3 to work with Win 10 without luck

I have downloaded LSH3 and followed the instructions but when get to this section :_

LSH3-EDITION-2015-STARTER installation dialog:
- Choose a language and follow the instruction
- Choose the installation folder of the original SH3 installation
- Wait while the files are being unpacked
- The rest of the installation works automatically


I choose the installation folder as per the PDF which came with the download and I get the following

SH3 must not be installed in this path, tried other folders or creating a folder and it says no spaces allowed and retry

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

[frankie]

Hi Peter

Thanks for your patience.

I tried to load the game using SH3.exe using admin and compatibility as OS7 (running win 10) the ubisot logo comes up, the the sub in fog video followed by the SH3 title and red loading bar. the red bar gets to the end then the games crashes so don't get to try loading the naval academy.

I'll get there eventually but its fighting me every step of the way grrrrr

update, if I try and start the game using the LSH 2015 Start icon in admin mode it crashes even before I get to the start screen,


Further more encouraging update, got the game to start, did the academy bit V15 folder created so should be good to go, when I come to start a career it loads, red bar gets to the end then........ total freeze. I have to restart computer , so nearly there!!!!!
If it helps I can post a video here to show what I mean, its probably something very simple but oh so frustrating

You can test your installation first by loading the game using the SH3.exe
On the menu try loading the Naval Aademy if this loads ok without a ctd then you should be ok.
If you ctd then you will need to run the SH5.exe in a compatibility mode and administrator.
OS win 10 use OS7
OS7 use XP.
If all is ok then do the following.
Open JSGME
Enable the main LSH3 mod.
Enable the Widescreen GUI mod.
Just 2 mods only.
Always start the game through LSH3Commander.
Run your applications in administrator.
Start SH3Commander enter a Captain's name or one of your own.
Start the game.
At the Menu you can use the options to change the crew language etc.
You must now select the Naval Academy (bottom left corner) so that your saved games folder is created.
You can start a tutorial and then exit back to the desk top.
If you check your documents folder you should see the v15 saved games folder.
Enable the rest of the mods you want to use in your game.
You can make changes in SH3Commander including the U-Boat type.
You are now going to start a new career in the test flotilla Eprobungstelle do not make any changes to your boat just click on the map in the office.
Good luck
Peter

Hi frankie
I have found that LSH3 does not like loading from the short cut keys.
Try this first and hopefully this should work ok.
You must always start the game from SH3Commander
Go directly to the SH3Commander folder and run the Commander.exe application from here as administrator.
Right click on the commander exe and go to properties and then compatibility to make it permanent if you have not already set it to run as administrator.

Your game loading problem is I would think down to the compatibility of not liking Win10.
If your SH5.exe does not like compatibility OS7 then try XP.
Make sure you are running in administrator mode.
The fact that you have had some success is just about finding the right mode.
I am running OS10 with the SH3.exe set as OS7 with no problems after dozens of game loadings

I've tried in Xp compatibility and same thing, I first went into sh3 commander, set up a player name, launched the game then played the academy to set up the v15 folder which is shown in documents so all ok, then after coming out of the game I go back into commander expecting to see the player name still there the name is not there, I click new career, start the game then click on the player name I previously set up, playing academy is no problem but still cannot start a career

I fine I can play a career without a problem as the std game, issue starts when I use jsgme mod to LSH3 which is what I really want play in
