1.4b patch wont load

[Siegeswimpel]

I had to reload sh3 today. Downloaded the 1.4b patch but when I tried to run it a message told me that it could not run because:
C:\sh3.dll: file missing
any suggestions or would be really appreciated.
gary.

Delete the file that is named and the install should go fine.

:hmm: Reinstall SH3 then try the patch.

Strange error report as the sh3.dll should be in SilentHunterIII program folder and not C:\

If all fails, I can send/upload a copy of the sh3.dll file but I suspect something else is amiss and possibly, other files are missing too.

EDIT - Are you Vista or XP?

[Siegeswimpel]

it's xp. thanks for your advice. i'll try again.

unable to locate file F:\Silent Hunter III.msi flagged up at one point??? but we got there in the end. just tried again. all ok. Thanks again for advice:up:

This is usually caused by using the wrong patch. I'd start by checking to see if it's the US or EMEA version. Both can be found here:

Áfter almost an hour of searching, first thing that seems legit.

Just checked, and i have the US version even though im swedish.

Didnt think it would make any difference, but apparently it does!
