Is the community manual ever going to be re-uploaded?

Well I wouldn't mind seeing it but it doesn't look like it any time soon.

Silent Hunter 3 and Windows Vista 32
 

I tried installing SH3 but got an error message because of a protection program. Will SH3 run in Vista 32 operating system.

It should, for info specifically relating to Vista see here:

If you have copy of the game that includes Starforce (which I'm assuming is the DRM/protection program that is causing the problem) see here for more info on that:

Sorry I can't be more helpful but I have no personal experience with either issue. Others here do though so check out those threads and hang in there. :DL

OUt of idle interest anyone have the community manual? I know it is years ago but my old machine could not run SH3 smoothly enough so was stuck on SH2 (not complaining). I like the mild rpg element here and the few fancy tweaks of SH3. Seems to be an improvement SH5 looks atrocious, based on reviews, how dare a crew member not perform an order!

I've got it - or maybe only parts of it - saved as a series of 19 MSWord (.doc) files. The largest file is 296 KB; five are over 100 KB each and the rest are less than 50 KB each


PM me with your email address and I'll try forwarding them to you.:salute:

Welcome aboard Jack! SH3 runs fine on Vista although it sounds like you may have a 'starforce' issue. Check out the links FK posted and good luck getting it sorted! :sunny:

I found a website that archived the Community Manual. Click the above link and wait a second and it will take you to the community manual. Hope this helps everybody that has been looking for it:)

Thanks, buddy.

Welcome Aboard :sunny:

Possibly the only working link left :yep:

Until someone posts another here :DL

I am glad that it is not lost yet. Hopefully it will stay up for awhile. I am reading it right now and enjoying it very much.

I really enjoy the Silent Hunter games and subsim forums. Just glad I could help the community out:salute:.

What I could do in my retirement is copy the Wiki to Word and have it ready in a zip. Check general discussions for the retirement.

SINK EM ALL!! http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

Is there any reason subsim.com can't host the SH3 community manual itself?

I just started SH3 and haven't played ever played a realistic subsim. I've been mildly discouraged by all the dead links. It's a little weird that nobody is archiving this stuff in the downloads section. I'd rather spend my time hunting for merchant ships than PDF's.
