Steam with Living Silent hunter 2015

I think I found a way to be able to install the silent hunter mod with a Steam folder. Sure enough somebody allready wrote something about this but anyway.

The problem is that the MOD wil not allow you to install under your regular Steam folder and therefore you need to have an original game.

In steam there is an option to select which folder to install. Goto STEAM > SETTINGS > DOWNLOADS > STEAM LIBARY FOLDERS. This where you create a new steam folder on your desktop. Make sure you rename your Silent hunter 3 folder without spaces later. Now when you reinstall the SH3 game it will ask you in which folder you would like to download to. Simply click your desktop folder and your done.

Remember you cant install via direct link from steam as you changed your folder name without spaces but you can create a link to the SH3.exe

For me this worked.

To be able to install LSH3 I simply renamed steam folder "Silent Hunter 3" to "SilentHunter3" AFTER game installation:D
Actually maybe that was the cause OLC had some problems (or special effects mod), but GUI mod works now anyway (i dont care about special effects).

You can change everything to your taste! :03:

A little late to the party due to reasons I will describe in my own thread.

Downloading now. :rock:

Are there plans to integrate 1920x1080 into this mod?

How about bundling in annheurbes (sp?) GUI mod?

Hi CD

If you have enabled the LSH-2015_GUI_Widescreen mod then you should already be seeing it in that format.

Hi

I tried this but it didnt look like 1920x1080 and also it had horizontal black bars. So it doesnt fit the aspect ratio of my monitor at all.

It also had a bunch of graphical glitches.

Hi CD

Then you have other issues.

When the game start to load before it hits the menu it should show at the bottom of the screen 1920 x 1080 widescreen.

My monitor is 1920 x 1080 resolution and it fits perfectly.

Even when you do the SH3 tutorial it is in full screen with no bars.

It may be a setting in your gpu needs to be changed especially if it is a Nvidia?

I would suggest you take a look at page 6 of the installation instructions where your problem is featured.

This sounds realy frustrating.

Right now we (LSH Support Team) have two such unsolved problems "cannot initialize 3D engine" yet.

Both of them only by Windows 10 AND SH3-Steam versions.

This IS very frustrating, also for us.

If u got Skype and Tool Teamviever.com installed i will help you with online live support!

1) Never use the original default SH3 installation folder (not by DVD and not by Steam version)!

The “Destination Location/Save Folder“ must be changed/select manually during installation.

A correct “Destination Location/Save Folder“ is: C:\SilentHunterIII\ (example)

2) After installation supermod LSH3 V15 you must set manually some new preferences to the (new!) SH3.EXE!

Select the > SH3.EXE File > click right mousebutton > PREFERENCES > COMPATIBILITY

- Set: run program in compatiblity mode for > WINDOWS 7
- Set: run program as > ADMINISTRATOR
- Set: > DISABLE DESKTOP COMPOSITION

Save this with OK/APPLY and restart your computer now!

3) Check your graphical driver settings (NVIDIA or AMD)

- NVIDIA: SCALLING MOD must be > ASPECT RATIO
- NVIDIA: PERFORME SCALLING must be > GPU

- AMD: Set > MAINTAIN ASPECT RATIO
- AMD: Set > ACTIVATE GPU SCALLING

Save these settings and restart your computer now!

4) Now start LSH3 Mod enabler JSGME and activate ONLY the LSH3 V15 FULLVERSION Mod (no other GUI Mods!)

As first test just start SH3 NAVAL ACADEMY and try a quick game to test your SH3 installation and system settings.
If all works fine exit the game and activate your LSH3 WIDESCREEN Mod.
Now start SH3 NAVAL ACADEMY again and try to play in WIDESCREEN performance.
If all works fine u can start a stable career.

Most of this information are written in our L/SH3-INSTALLATION-MANUAL (PDF)

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 ChaosDuck

If u talking about our LSH3 Edition 2015 custom HSIE Patch and MOD solution... there is no needing to change someting.

After installation supermod V15 the HSIE Patch is full activated!

No need to activate the Mod "_LSH3-2015___Patch_HSIE-V16B1" in JSGME.

Read the "LSH3-2015_Patch_HSIE-V16B1_EN" (PDF) to learn more.

greets, Urmel
