SH3 LAN Multiplayer

Erniud · 02-28-18, 06:18 PM

Hello everyone, I'm a big fan of the silent hunter series. I want to ask for your help with an error in the multiplayer of Silent Hunter 3, as the servers of ubisoft have been closed, the alternative is multiplayer LAN, so my friends and I use the Tunngle platform, we can enter the room, we choose the modes within the game and when everyone is ready we start, but after a long loading period a message appears saying "The server has quit", we try many times and this message always appears. After much searching I do not find anyone with this error, I would very much like to play SH3 multiplayer since there are no wolfpacks in the game without mods, could someone help me with this error?

Hi Erniud at the steel sharks we play Multiplayer wolfpack missions on tunngle
to play SH3 Multiplayer on tunngle all players must have the same Campaign files best to use the blank Campaign file link below

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1082

Configuring Tunngle when you launch Tunngle in the bottom right of the screen is your smiley face red yellow or green
a red face your ports are not open yellow face some ports are open green all ports needed to run SH3 are open to host SH3
Multiplayer

How to Configure Tunngle when you launch Tunngle and go to SH3 Room click on options then tick us PNP box
click apply then exit tunngle then restart tunngle you should have a green smiley face and your tunngle is configured
to host SH3 on tunngle

Also would be best to have two installs of SH3 one for your Campaign and the other for your Multiplayer SH3 LAN games
Another issue is players using different Mods that alter the core game files
eg one player as a torpedo damage mod and the other players don't that will lead to A game crash so in short all players must have same files you mentioned very long loading times that tells me your all using different mods within your own SH3 Game Installs best to start with just your core install
eg stock SH3 or GWX3 withe blank campaign files either hard wired into SH3 data/campaigns/campaign or put it in the mods folder and activate that way
whichever way you choose all of you need to do it that way so your all identical

i live in north of England so i will be on same time line as you or GMT+1
i will be on tunngle tonight at 19:00 gmt and we can do some testing

Thank you very much for the response, sorry for the delay in answering it.

I was a bit busy, but I went back to playing SH3 and I will do what you said, it should be a very good experience to play online, thanks for the welcome.

Hi Erniud

Re SH3 Multiplayer things have moved on since my Tunngle post due to new privacy laws Tunngle has shut down.
You can still play SH3 Multiplayer with Evolve Link Below

https://www.evolvehq.com

once you have downloaded Create a account gaming name Password then download client software if you have Windows 10 when you login it says your offline shut down evolve then go to your control panel system device manager
network adapters evolve will have a yellow triangle Error go to advanced in the mac address box enter 0 then click ok and the Yellow Triangle has gone and when you login to Evolve it says your online and when you make a lan party you see your green online button and your ip for that gaming session
When you invite your friend he will have a similar ip to you just one digit more eg your ip 169.108.44.134 his ip 169.108.44.135 happy game hosting
