Yes I followed the steps, however, the 4GB patch wouldn't load.
Windows 7
Pentium Dual-Core E5200 @2.50GHz
4GB RAM
NVidia GeForce 9500 GT with DirectX 11.0

Installed mods right now are just:
LSH3_V5
LSH3_V5.1

Hi U570,

the "4-GB-Patch" is not a JSGME-ready mod, it is a a executable programm. Run 4gb_patch.exe, within this programm go to the root directory where your sh3.exe is located, select sh3.exe and execute. The programm willl give you an "sh3.exe.backup" which can be used in cases of malfunktion.

I did exactly that, I first thought when it asked for an executable, I thought it was Windows trying to find it :oops:. But then I realised this and did what you say, but it still hasn't had any effect.

Hi U560,

if you did it in that right way, the "4-GB-Patch" is installed and will work. I read about your computer specs, they are o.k., but in can take up to 5 minutes or more a carreer will start. So plesae wait - even if it seems that the programm is frozen (typical problem of SH3: it runs up to 90% and then "stands still")

LSH3 has more than 200 Ships and some 40+ planes. And that takes some time to be loaded. The same problem you will have in the "Museum". that takes up to 10 minutes until finaly loaded.

Hi U570,

you did not tell us whether your Windows is 32bit or 64bit version.
If it is a 32bit you will have to do the bcdedit-command as describred in the install-manual.

Yes it is 32-bit, blueduck, however, I was finally patient with it, and it loaded and was brilliant UNTIL I tried to go into the map, and had my first ever CTD...

i know this might be a common question but, does GWX work with LSH 5 or do i have to play just LSH 5 only ?

Hello U570,

sounds like you did NOT do the bcdedit-command in the dos-box (see install-manual).

If you open the dos-box (cmd.exe) type
bcdedit /enum
and there should be a line "increaseuserva 2900"

My "old" machine runs with 3,2GB RAM (due to Mobo-Restrictions, W7 32bit) and 2900 works fine! Be aware, that I disabled every process or startup-program not necessary, so that there are just 42 processes active.

Hello drakkhen20,

NO it does not!
LSH3V5.1 is a "Supermod" like GWX and therefore they can NOT be used together.

Maybe use "MultiSH3" to have both!
MultiSH3 is included in our DL-Package.

Yes I know. Thats why I was making sure as its not in the manual as to what is and isnt compatiable with LSH5. Thanks.

Hello drakkhen20,

will be added in the manual(s) of LSH3V6!

Thanks for the hint
Blueduck

Hows campaign layer and sinking mechanics?
I hate stock campaign in sh3 and sm,so i am curious if this element of game was touched.
Im not in to graphic much,because emphasis on graphics aspect of the games often makes games shallower and empty inside.
So again,how's gameplay and sim aspect of this mod?
I wouldn't ask if there was standalone english istruction avaiable for download.

cheers.

ok heres another question.... to play a career. what mods do i need to enable for the optional stuff and whats the translations cuz its all in german or dutch or one of those two i think lol.


ah, never mind. through reading more i will prevail! lol.

Hello utops,

there are nearly 150 ships and 23 airplanes more within LSH3V5.1. Therefore the campaign-files are enhanced to bring them into the game.
There is much more harbour-traffic in the u-boat bases.
Special Operations like Weserübung, Paukenschlag, ... are added and you will be informed via radio-messages.

Sinking-mechanics is the same as in Stock-SH3.

Graphical-MODs are included and can be added via JSGME - 3 different GUIs too.

Well there is -- See next post!
Although the complete manual is only available in German.

Regards
Blueduck

Hello drakkhen20,

well, if you knew your JSGME better, just hold the mouse on a MOD-name and you will be given a short description in German and in English what this MOD does. A right-mouse-click will open a context-menu with a German and English PDF-file for most of the MODs.



@ utops, drakkhen20 (and everyone else... :D):
At our DL-side we've got several Intstruction books in English too!

http://www.lsh3.com/ftp/___support/pics/DL_EN.JPG

• The installation-pdf which can be used for other supermods too (4GB-Patch, MultiSH3, ...)
• The manual about the MOD-Activation with given examples and exclusions
• The MiniManual with the changes and enhancements since LSH3V4. (The complete list of changes, MODs and units will only be available in the LSH3-Manual !)
