Great!

Herr Kaleun, I declare you ready for patrol! :rock:

So returning to the game after more than a year away,
Since I last played my PC has been upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 carrying my old silent hunter III GWX 3 patched to 1.4b with it

So of course starforce was now a problem,
rather than faffing with removing the whole thing I first tried
1) running the starforce removal tool
and
2) After finding it using rld-sh14.rar and overwiting the files in programme files/ubisoft/shiii

game then ran fine :yeah:

So then I look around and find the 1.6b unofficial patch,
downloaded and tried to install, no joy :wah:

:hmmm: looked in the batch file, guessed that the nosf version was the one I wanted and after a bit of playing around (mostly getting rid of the error checks and zeroing in on the version I wanted) tricked it into working

Now running 1.6b, oh yeah baby :yeah:

Now it's time to do some serious :arrgh!:

What 1.6b patch?

Oh, nevermind. It's HSIE's fix:

I am glad you got it working -- But look up the list of threads and you will see a very good one which I made a comment on after I followed his "How To Do THis with Win 7" -- and it worked.

Look it over and see if you made you way through in a similar way.

Most important was to not install "Game Shadow", and some other stuff as well.

If you missed some of those steps you may be in for a "bummer" latter on, so the wise move may be to do it over correctly.

Just MHO.:subsim:
