Because they used the same key code for the U.S. version. They even put it in the UBI knowledge base. Do a search there under PC/Silent Hunter 3 and you will find it.

Jackhammerjohn,

My oppinion only. I understood your first post and was going to respond with a digital DL site but your post had been closed.

I am also against piracy, as is subsim, and feel that your post was not even close.

Thank you. I wasn't mad or anything, just wanted to set the record straight. Thanks for saying so, though.

However, I did learn a lot about why SH4 doesn't need a disc. I thought I did some sort of install option that I didn't see. I bought SH3 when it first came out, but my machine back then wasn't powerful enough to run it. So I broke it out when I upgraded. I love both SH3 and SH4 (though I think Aces of the Deep and the first SH are the best . . . nothing like your first).

Thanks for the info.

Likewise the EMEA code. While not (tmk) in the UBI knowledge base, it is freely available on both the German UBI forums and in this forum.

Just seeing this one :D

Now I am setting the record straight. It was not his post, but the follow-up to it in that thread that was the issue,
I explained this in my above post. Plus, JH already mentioned that he already had a copy of SH3, and has been discussed here
we are still trying to see if UBI released a legal no cd\dvd for older releases.

Ubi has yet to release an official "NoSF" patch and I highly doubt they would waste the man-hours needed to create such a patch for an unsupported game.

I've been through every inch of Ubi's web site and FTP server and have yet to see anything offered other than the 1.4b patch, a few wallpapers, and a couple of videos that have been there for years now.

There's always the off-chance that some dedicated and sympathetic employee might rattle off a patch in his spare time but then it would have to get past Ubi's legal dept and you know how dramatic and tight-*ssed corporate lawyers can be. :roll:

As evidence suggests that there are budget versions out there both sans Starforce and the requirement to insert the DVD, logic would suggest that it's already been done, and authorised, by UBI. ;)

That sounds fine to me, as long as you have purchased it and you don't pass it on to someone else :yep:

$.02 worth
 
As have mentioned on some other posts I have downloaded SH3 directly from the UBI site for $20, no disk, no SF and patched to 1.4. I did this rather that battle the clean install/uninstall problems. All works great with GXX2.1.

Keep sinking the all

Reece 05-14-08 10:00 PM
I have the original release with SF & since purchased a late version for under $20 here in Aust, patched to 1.4b, I have compared & found the files concerned that do not have SF!:yep: Would uploading this be legal since it is genuine UBI files?:smug: Chew on that!:lol:

Edit: btw, the new version without SF has been released by UBI, not a third party.

Errr, so that would be my post then? :hmm:

Sorry if I said anything against the rules and regs of Subsim, I just wanted to warn him of the dangers of taking a thread down that path. We've seen it too many times, with allegations of Piracy and fingers being pointed.

It was refeshing though to see all playing nicely on the topic here.:up:

Cheers.

He just did pass it on here, so it is not fine ( talk of cracks not permitted ) . Again for earlier versions we are waiting word from UBI regarding this, hopefully we will hear something.

Talks of no cd\dvd patches are not permitted, post edited. As mentioned we are trying to get UBI to shed some light on this :yep:

Thread will stay open for the time being as there has been some good constructive
discussionn on related matters.
