1.4b patch problems

[Leigh]

I have tried installing this patch (the EMEA DVD version) but it says it cannot update it becase: C:\ProgramFiles\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Air\A DB_JU87Stuka\ADB_JU87Stuka:cfg: unknown version

Not sure how this can be unknown as I have installed Silent Hunter III from the cd.

Has anyone come across this before and how to fix it?

And just one more, how do you take screen shots? Sunk a destroyer and cargo vessel on my first patrol today and no pictures to show off :p

Thanks,
Leigh

Thanks for the screenshot keys.

The cfg file is

[Unit]
ClassName=DBJU87Stuka
UnitType=302
MaxSpeed=255.000000
MinSpeed=70.000000
MaxRadius=750
Length=11.5
Width=13.8
RenownAwarded=50
[Loadout 1]
Name=1x500Kg Bombs

Does this look the same as everyone else's?

Have a look here. There is reference to a site with all the patches.

Yes, when I did my first uninstall of SH3 and then reinstall the game. Could not install 1.4b patch as you described.

The reason: the uninstall does not remove all of the Silent Hunter files! There are three files that conflict with the install of the patch.

The cure: do the uninstall and then locate the Silent Hunter directory under Programs\UBI\Silent Hunter. (You'll probably need to do a search for Silent Hunter under all files in the C drive to find it.) Delete the Silent Hunter directory which will remove all remaining files. You can now install SH3 and then the 1.4b patch.

However, it would be a good time to run a program called CrapCleaner before you do the reinstall. I have used this program religiously for 2 years. I always run the "Clean" and the "Issues" of CrapCleaner before turning off my computer. You'll be surprised how much junk this program gets rid of.

Do a search with Google for CrapCleaner. It is a free download.

Hope this is helpful.

Guys, we must also bear in mind that the latest SH3's seem to be pre-packaged with the v1.4b patch included. So our "make sure you patch" mantras that usually apply may not apply to newer players (which I have assumed by Leigh's post count).

This may not necessarily be the case here, but it is one more thing we need to keep in mind.

Just thinking out loud here :hmm: ....but would the game not warn you of it already being 'patche'..."you are attempting to overwrite etc etc" :hmm:

Hehe, dunno, I've never tried to install v1.4b over v1.4b.

Its all working now thanks and crap cleaner removed loads of files.

Yes I am new to Silent Hunter III and to here so I think the mistake was somewhere on my part when installing everything. I'm not sure whether the patch was already included on the cd as it doesn't say anywhere that I could find. But then I wasn't really aware of it at the time of installation.

Thanks again for all your help ;)
