Hi all,

I downloaded the LSH Single file last night and when I try to install the mod it asks for a Password saying the 7zip file was encrypted.

Where do I get the password or what is a work around?

Thanks

Hello all,
I just wanted to provide my feedback on LSH3 2015.

I don't know if something was fixed, but I downloaded the first revision back in the summer, and the mod worked great but I had the same issue some others had, where you would see these strange DirectX pop ups (about 24 of them) during the game start up. I know it had something to do with my graphics, and didn't affect the game, I just had to click on through all of the messages until I got to the main menu.

Recently, I did a clean re-install of SH3, and downloaded the latest version of LSH3 2015, and I no longer see these pop ups. At that same time, I also set my NVIDIA graphics card according to the recommendations. Now with the new version, I no longer see the pop ups.

Regarding the mod. I think it looks great. The way that 4G patch, SHC, HSIE, etc.. are all integrated into the installation is fabulous! This is one of easiest mods I've ever installed!

The interface is well done. I always liked the idea of having to make a "milk" run with a new sub. Original!

The graphics look superb, always loved LSH3 port activity!

The one thing I'm missing (or can't find) is the AOB calculator. That would be nice to play with.

Also, is there any way to add the Magui type interface?

The point system (in this mod and all mods) always confused me. I have no idea if I should ignore the renown or not. Do I care if I don't make it to the assigned grid? Since the upgrades are cheap, do I care about renown?

Finally, so far I have no bugs or issues. It's working well.

Thanks again to the team for making an old game new again! Your efforts are very much appreciated.

If you have already tried to install the LSH3 2015 Super Mod you probably have already run into the error “SH3 must not be installed in this path! Please install SH3 anywhere else!” Here is a workaround to that issue, so far I have not encountered any issues doing this if there is I will update this post.

1.) I suggest you have a fresh clean install of SH3 on your pc before trying to proceed further. I would uninstall and delete any remaining files left on your pc from steam. Next re-install the game on your pc. (I heavily recommend doing this to avoid any possible issues)

2.) Next you will need to locate your SH3.exe file. Go to your game root folder usually located in C:/ Program Files / Steam / Steamapps / Common / Silent Hunter 3 and copy the “Silent Hunter 3” folder to your desktop.

3.) Now to save yourself some headaches you must eliminate all spaces from the file name. It doesn’t matter what you call it just remove the spaces for example Silent_Hunter_3, SH3, Silent_Hunter etc. you get the point.

4.) If you have not already I would download the LSH3 2015 Edition and install the mod according to the instructions just remember to when the installation asks you to find the root folder it will be the one located on your desktop not in the steam folder.

5.) ENJOY!

Hopefully this post helps anyone who has steam out.

Happy Hunting!

This didnt work for me unfortunaly. Gives me an error when trying to startup the copied SH3.

Thanks any way

Hi Giezer

If you read the installation manual it is does state that Steam is not compatible with LSH3-2015.

Hey guys,

I am having an issue with torpedoes going strait to 25m after launch no matter what depth I set it to, I can't figure out what's causing it.

Does anybody have an idea what the issue could be?

Thanks
-Rabbit

KingOfNothing22 · 10-25-15, 07:14 PM

Having a lot of trouble trying these workarounds for Steam versions. Copying everything into a new directory didn't seem to work, then I started getting a launch error so I tried to get round that, then when it seemed to get past that I had a "cannot initialize 3D engine" pop-up that none of the methods such as replacing the intro movie files seems to fix.

Looks like I'll be going back to good old GWX tomorrow...

KingOfNothing22 · 10-27-15, 06:47 AM

Managed to get a non-Steam copy of the game. Removed the Steam version and anything left over, restarted my system and installed the non-Steam version. Installed fine, loaded it up, works ok. Go to install LSH, I'm still getting "SH3 must not be installed in this path!".

So frustrating!

Hi KingfOfNothing22

This sounds realy frustrating.

Right now we (LSH Support Team) have two such unsolved problems "cannot initialize 3D engine" yet.

Both of them only by Windows 10 AND SH3-Steam versions.

This IS very frustrating, also for us.

If u got Skype and Tool Teamviever.com installed i will help you with online live support!

Send me a mail to support@lsh3.com to have direct contact.
My Skype Name is Ariel_Urech (Basel, Switzerland)

Just contact me and i will help you by this problem :-)

Greets, Urmel

Urmel · 10-27-15, 11:26 AM

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.

Most of this information are written in our L/SH3-INSTALLATION-MANUAL (PDF)

Contact us by email support@lsh3.com for direct support.
