Check the bottom right hand of the Main Menu screen. It'll probably say 1.4 & therefore doesn't need any patching. I have 1.4 version & I'm betting that yours & mine are 1 & the same.

Are you reinstalling the game or installing for the first time? If you're reinstalling, make sure to manually delete the old C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII folder before doing an install. For some reason the uninstaller doesn't always delete the whole thing.

As noted above, if it is already patched, no problem; if not, the easiest way to get around the problem is to find and delete the offending folder. It will cause no harm and solve a known bug in the install program.

What does it mean:

This program cannot update the instal. version of Sh3 US DVD v.1.0 to 1.3 coz of the following reason:

D:/....data\Menu\de_menu.txt: unknown version.

Patch was dl from ubisoft page, tried both-for DVD and Internet version, and the latest-1.4b. Any ideas?

@mookiemookie
I deleted the folder and I still get the same but maybe it is the problem of having 1.4b already

Check the bottom right hand of the Main Menu screen. It'll probably say 1.4 & therefore doesn't need any patching. I have an EMEA (English) 1.4 version & I'm betting that your's & mine are 1 & the same.

Welcome btw...:)

but I don't see 1.4b in the bottom right corner. Is there any other way of checking this?
