Go to the video setting and change the 1024x768 to 1920x1080 and save the change.

I just stumbled about the same issue. I installed LSH3 back in 2015 under win7 and now set up silent hunter 3+4 in win10. So i thought i'd just make a backup of the installation and extract lsh3 on top of it. Obviously LSH3-EDITION-2015-FULL.EXE looks like the right (self extracting) archive. Also depending on the content i'd want to extract the right files but i can't open it due to the password protection.
It really surprised me. Why would anyone password protect a free mod? Did i download it from some shady site back then and forgot about it? was this even the version i installed? must be since i have only this 2015 version in my archive.
It took me a while to figure out you probably did this to enforce the use of your installer.
Still i don't know why you are doing this. Should i come back to this point in another 10 years i'm pretty sure i'll go through the same procedure or just give up it. Password protected mods smell fishy. The real ones are free.


I suppose someone wanted to reduce support requests due to errors during the setup process but still i think it's a bad thing.
Document the password prominently in the install doc and let it be 'you really should use the installer!' to make your point. Then people like me know what they should be doing but can continue to do their own thing. Or just have a look at the archive content.


The good thing: i now know about the 2022 version and will use that
the bad thing: it looks like my old career on win7 will stay there and i still have to reboot to play.

It is likely a "licensing" issue with the mod Bigeagle, and is their choice as mod authors to restrict certain uses of the mod, since it is, after all, offered "free"... Reducing support issues is one of several reasons, I'm sure.

Yes @propbeanie - you are right! The reason is (was since LSH3 2020) to reduce support issues.


@Bigeagle:
Why don't you just use the installer and let him do his installation to a different directory and then "extract" the files from there?

Hey Peter,


seems that your Link to SH3-Stuff seems to be down. Do you have a new link to all the great guides you made for SH3? I just donwloaded LSH3 2022 and iam back at Sh3 now.


Looking for big Radio or Grammophon-mods for Sh3 before starting a campaign. Its recommended to not install any mods after starting the campaign in LSH3 2022. In SH5 its not a problem to change any radio or grammo-files while playing a campaing. Is this the same with LSH3 2022 or should i avoid this?


Thx and hope you feel fine.

Does anyone have this bug/a fix for this?
Happens mostly when i zoom into the map, I've also noticed this kind of problem On the equipment page when trying to select Uboat/Towers/equipment/Torpedoes that my Mouse isnt aligned to where it should be

Hi Excel
I am assuming the modders at LSH3 told Subsim to remove my LSH3 tutorial thread when they introduced the new LSH3-2022 mega mod without any consultation to me as it all suddenly disappeared, unfortunately not only did all my LSH3 tutorial and information get deleted which was not really a problem as most of it would have been out of date anyway but also all of my SH3 stuff which was in the same tutorail thread was deleted as well.

Subsim-Library has lost useful information.
What it was can be found here:
SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - LSH3-2015 <> TUTORIALS <> ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW <> ALL IN ONE PLACE (archive.org)
I would not say most was 'outdated', instead most was also usable without LSH3.
