I installed SHIII to the C:\Ubisoft\SilentHunter III destination folder and it worked just fine. Also, I knew that installing as administrator with Windows 7 compatibility mode would be the right way to go. The rest of your instructions are found in your installation manual.

I want to thank you for this excellent supermod and all that you have done and will do to maintain your work. When I upgraded to a new P.C. in 2013, this game was not one of my legacy software that refused to install.

It has been two and half years of waiting for a way that would allow me to enjoy again, one of my favorite simulations of all time. It has please me to no end. Thank you again so much!

Also thanks for your responses Urmel! If I can get beyond trying to get LSH3 to install I'll be sure to follow the steps you've provided

Edit: Apologies if the point about the folder is for LSH not being in the same place as where I've installed the original game - It's been a long day!

Start regedit and look for the following hive key:

...\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter III

there should be these entries:

InstalledPath -> C:\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\
Path -> C:\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\sh3.exe

If not: correct these entries.

Urmel's tip about installing it to a different folder seems to have done the trick, although I won't be able to test it until later today. Thanks for all your help guys!

Hi all

First to Fishers of Men, i thank you for your very nice words to us!


For better understanding this tiresome topic “SH3 Installation Path”:

Any installation of original SH3 by DVD/STEAM/AMAZONE works fine by playing the game in original version.

The problem starts by using master tool “Mod Enabler JSGME” to play SH3 with a supermod (LSH3, CCOM, NYGM, GWX, WAC).

Since generation Windows Vista SH3 tools like JSGME or Commander have not the correct userrights/permissions to work fine.

That’s why following SH3 installation paths (into Windows System folders) don’t work:

C:\ProgramData
C:\Programs
C:\Programs (x86)



So, the simply trick is to install SH3 (and ALL necessary SH3 tools) into a other “Destination Location/Save Folder”!

This means you can choose/set ANY drive or partition and ANY folder name but NOT a Windows System folder (C:\Program…)

Some examples for working fine paths names:

C:\game\
C:\SH3\
C:\SilentHunter3\
C:\SilentHunterIII\


During SH3 DVD installation: Even by choosing only a destination/drive C: (without a folder) works fine because SH3 ALLWAYS set automatically foldername \SilentHunterIII\


If u already have a original SH3 installation here another Tip:

1. Just COPY the whole “Silent Hunter III” original game folder to another place
2. After that be shure there is no empty space character in the whole path/folder name “SilentHunterIII” (not “Silent Hunter III”)
3. After that u can install supermod “Living Silent Hunter III Edition 2015” – it will work fine


So good so far dear SH3 friends.

We all looking into a great and damn deadly SH3 subwar future 2016 (simulated tnx god)

regards from Urmel

Hi Urmel,

I can confirm the problems with the tools. It has to do with the tools' permission to write data in the folder you specified. Or better said, with the lack of permission. There is a workaround, but that is more for the experts.

Edit: And I can confirm the copy - the - whole - folder method as well. I suggest, everybody should make a vanilla - backup that way.

Ah, and Grüzi!

Default LSH 2015 - what is the extractor file's password?

I can't remember how I managed to install LSH2015 last month. Anyway, now when I click on LSH3-EDITION-2015-FULL.exe, it prompts me for a password. Help!

Default LSH3 crashes

Hi guys,

I'm looking forward to be playing the new SUPERmod
Only It crashes just as soon as the loading bar has been filled.
I've played the GWX mod before and that worked fine also with the JSGME
It looks like everything installed correctly.

Hope somebody has some ideas what it could be.

Much apreciated

When using the Widescreen mod, why is it not possible to use FullHD 1980x1080 ?

Can do it with "The Grey Wolves Mod" but when using the Widescreen Mod of LSH and change Resolution the Menu and tings like looking through Binocular is not scaled correctly

Any ideas what i can do ?

You have posted on the older V5 version thread and not on the LSH3-2015 thread is that correct?
LSH3-2015 Widescreen GUI mod runs 1920 x 1080 without any problems.
Make sure your SH3 game Graphic setting is set to your monitor's native resolution.
Another problem can be the Gpu settings shown here for Nvidia.
