Are there still 'pre-built' computers around even? I haven't had one for 10+ years.

Yeah, you can still get them from electronics stores. Here in US, Chicago - Microcenter and Best Buy come to mind. Typically they don't come with a parts list looking that good.. But he could have bought something from ibuypower or cyberpowerpc for all we know.

But, Avers-- Your PC should be able to run any game out there right now at 1080p resolution. Won't be with ultra/max graphics settings, but it'll run whatever you throw at it at a mix between Normal (medium) -> High settings. Just an FYI

Hello All,

I just wanted to post this for anyone who has a “Steam” copy of Living Silent Hunter III and wishes to install the LSH3 2015 Version. 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!

Actually I am having the "Can not initialize 3D Engine" issue. I did try all the solutions in the manual but they are not working. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have the GeForce GTX 980M graphics and the latest driver 352.86 released 5/18/2015.

First impressions:

Using this JSGME list:

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[F:\LSH3\MODS]

_LSH3-2015___FULLVERSION
_LSH3-2015_ATM_BlueWater
_LSH3-2015_ATM_BlueWater-SunFix
_LSH3-2015_SLS_SpecialEffects
_LSH3-2015___Patch_HSIE-V16B1
_LSH3-2015_GUI__WIDESCREEN


- Installation process worked very fine (multipart installation).

- I have CTDs in the Artillery Training Mission.

- The supermod needs some additional mods for my candy eye taste, for example: uniforms, crew faces, sounds, speech, and change the interiors (I prefer CCom with Aces Super Turms compatibility and Damo´s interior lights; my taste, of course).

- The supermod needs another environment mod, for my taste (MEP is a must have).

- The menus, etc, are superbe.

- I´m not secure the Hsie patch is properly applied. Really I dont know if I have the 4Gb patch applied, that could be the cause of the CTD in the Artillery mission.

- Campaign not tested.

To be continued...and many thanks for the supermod!

thank you so much guys, it is so nice of you that it's been released on my birthday :-)

I also got instant (2 sec after loading) CTD on training mission, it was Torpedoes in my case.
But I had HSI enabled - I disabled it and Navigation loaded up fine.

Trying MEP and other mods now...will let you know if it worked.

again - excellent job!

Hi everybody !

Does "LSH3 edition 2015" include a full manual in English like the "LSH3 The big manual 2010" included in German in the 2010 release of the mod? That manual looked great but unfortunatelly I can not understand German... it would be great to have a similar manual in English this time.

In any case, thank you very much for all the work in this mod !!!

Exactly, same here. I made a 4GB patched of my original SH3.exe, and all works fine. With the included Hsie patch, CTDs...Try to patch with 4Gb patch your original (year 2005) SH3.exe, and not activate the Hsie optional mod.

Regards.
