Hi TP

the uboat spawns somewhere on the West African Coast in stead of Konstanza .
This will only occur if you have Thomsen's Sound Pack mod enabled.
This mod is not compatible with the test mission.
Disable the mod before the test mission.
Enable again afterwards.
or
Remove (or rename / backup) the file en_menu.txt from the Sound Mod's .\data\Menu\ folder.

Hi
Thanks for the reply . I don't have Thomsen sound pack .
Is there anything i should look for or modify in the en_menu.txt ?
Also, it is not possible to start directly in the 30th flotilla, should i always use the training flotilla start and transfer ?
Thanks

L.E. : i tried it via Training Flotilla and transfer and same result .

However i found the culprit : the LSH Bunker Start mod, it seems something is missing in regards to Konstanza , after i disabled the mod the uboat spawned in Konstanza.

Default Fresh SH3 Install Problems

I am installing SH3 for the first time in a couple of years, it's been a while, but a great game is still great.

Problem: After entering the serial code, I receive an error. "Unexpected Error 13:6" - Just downloaded my old copy from gamersgate and this might be the game trying to check with the servers?? to see if the code is valid, I don't know. Help would be much appreciated.

Totally agree with you.
Disabling the mod and the problem disappears.

Decided to give this a whirl. So far four questions:

  1. Under video options, there are three choices. There are already ticked, and I am unable to toggle the selection
  2. I am unable to deselect "autoload" for the torpedoes
  3. When first loading/starting the game, I get a whole lotta error messages stating a menu isn't found
  4. All of my info stuff (mines, flags, etc) are in German, even though I've selected English as my language

Hi sp
Make sure that your game is on a clean install and Windows 10 is in compatibility mode for Windows 7.

Use my tutorial from my signature as it will save you a lot of time.

You should be able to make selections in options.
 


It is important that you enter the Naval academy to setup your V15 saved game folder first.

You must start a test mission first without making any changes to your boat.

I have Windows 7, not 10. And I can't do a complete uninstall/reg-clean/clean install, as I already have multiple copies/mods (GWX, NYGM, WAC 5.0, as just a few) currently installed.

As a great believer in "RTFM", the tutorial was the first thing I read, front-to-back, before I even started downloading the files.

I'm sure I should be able to make those changes. However, I cannot. Clicking on them does not toggle the status.

I did (enter the Naval Academy) , and I did (start a test mission first), and I didn't (make any changes).

I do not remember seeing any language options. And now that I've already downloaded and installed LSH, I'm not sure what sort of conflicts I'll encounter just uninstalling/reinstalling just that, as I'm not willing to completely wipe every iteration of SH3 from my drive just to do a clean reinstall.

Thanks for the quick responses!

you are talking about the additional charts available on the main navigation chart page?, i.e. F5. AFAIK these are only available in German. However, they are easy to figure out even for a non-german speaker.

so this is more of an esoteric question, but I used to start LSH via the enclosed LSH3 shortcut.

Lately, I started the game via SH3 commander, but I get infrequent CTDs.

Is there an advantage to starting the game via SH3 commander as opposed to the LSH3 shortcut?

Where are the ctd's occurring?
Ctd's to the loading screen happens when you do not run your applications as administrators especially important the SH3.exe.
Ctd's failing to reach the Command Room is a Windows 10 compatibility issue.
Have you checked out the tutorials from my signature for the correct procedures and setups?

Hi, the CTDs occur while running the game. Again, very infrequent, but annoying when you have to restart from the last save.
