V1.4b Unknown Version Error

[Struts77]

Hey All,:Kaleun_Salute:
First off, its good to be back in the saddle. Thanks very much to a fantastic community and all the hard work on these great mods! Lots of beer needs to be bought for all of you. But, more realistically I will be contributing more $$$ to the Sub Sim site. :up:
Returning to SH3 from a long break. I bought a new (very needed) high-end computer and trying to update my SH3 V1.4 to 1.4b and receiving the following error;
SH3\data\Menu\de_menu.txt unknown version
I have done several clean reinstalls of SH3 (yes – removed ALL old SH3 folders and data) with no joy.:k_confused:
I’m using a downloaded copy of SH3 and am using the correct copy of the 1.4b updater. Many years ago, I was running SH3 v1.4b on my old computer with no problems. Could this be a Windows 10 thing?
Any ideas?
Thanks much and drink green beer!!:Kaleun_Cheers:

Thanks Ivanov – that did the trick. :Kaleun_Salute:
Is there a way I can search older posts so I don’t post questions asked before?

SubSim's Search function isn't the best. The way I do it is to use Google Advanced Search. I type in some keywords and then scroll down to the box that says 'Domain Name', type in "subsim.com' and it works quite well...some of the time.

One thing I'm confused about though. If you had a fairly recent version of SH3 then you shouldn't have had to update at all. Version 1.4 is version 1.4b. The reason you get that error message is because you're trying to update to the version that's already installed. They just forgot to rename it after the final test session.

Thanks Steve. Good advice on using Google search. As far as the update to 1.4b, it seemed to take. I didn’t get any errors, but I also didn’t get any validation it loaded. You’re correct – it does not show a 1.4b in the lower right corner. I’ve subsequently loaded GWX Gold and its running like a champ.
Thanks again for the assist,:Kaleun_Salute:
