Oh boy December.. looks like I'll have to put SH4 down for a while and re-install SH3 to try out LSH3!!

:yeah:

Same here. The new LSH3_v6 sounds very promising. It may even blow the great GWX-mod out of the water, so to speak.
We'll wait and see...

Anyone know if the new V6 will be compatible with 5.1 career and save games ?

Eta is December.

RE WRITING THE STEEL SHARKS CAMPAIGN
 

The steel sharks group have been playing a sh3 campaign for six years now
the prowlers of the deep mod is now very old & dated
we tried to use our campaign files with LSH 5.1 but the ship rosters are different
so it wouldn't sing I had interesting talks with blitzkrieg & blueduck they informed
me that LSH V6 will be out in December 2013 further more the ship rosters of LSH 5.1 & LSH 6
are compatable no ships removed just more ships added so ive started rewriting our campaign with LSH 5.1
& when LSH 6 is released the Campaign files will be compatable
the Campaign will be written in the SCR lair with Convoys only having a 30 day date life so to speak eg
Convoy HX1 leaves Halifax 16/9/1939 (entry date) 16/10/1939(exit date)
cant wait to see LSH 6 even LSH 5.1 is very polished n nice

now wheres my pack of red light bulbs & my stopwatch evey time a car back fires
driving past my apartment I order full a head 30 degree dive bubble

Blackswan40 you need to get out more

what like out on patrol with LSH 6 capital idear lock n load boys

Can anyone please advise if the new release of LSH scheduled for the end of this year be compatible with Windows 8 ?

Hello GJO,

yes it should be compatible!
One of our testers does have a notebook with Win 8.

I'm not so sure with 8.1 . I have it and I can't reinstall sh3 with it and I could with 8.

Hello Andredr,

of course at this time it was Win 8 and it might be, that it will not work with Win 8.1.
I hope we will be able to test this before our Release.

Is there any way to get around having to start a career with SH3 Commander without having to go through the training flotilla? Whenever I try and join the first or seventh flotillas, the box with the u-boat types is empty.

windows 8.1 is windows 8 but with a major upgrade. I had been doing the beta testing 8.1 and SH3 does have problems in it that. One of the issues I personally found was that save games are more likely to corrupt I also noticed an increase in CTDs not related to the corrupt game loads.

I have trouble loading saved games with win 8.1.:hmm2:

So well.

To collect the facts:
- LSH3 (SH3) CAN be installed under Win 8.1 as desertstriker and Ping Jockey posted here.
- LSH3 (SH3) CAN be played under Win 8.1 but with restrictions (sometimes CTD)
These issues (CTD when loading a saved game, CTD in game) should be researched, because I guess all SH3 Supermods will be affected when they meet Win 8.1.

@desertstriker: maybe you could give some hints how a installation has to be done with Win 8.1
Another question concerning Win8.1: Is it still possible to use MS VPC?

Regards
Blueduck

An installation Has to be done outside the default UNLESS Steam is being used even then I highly recommend installing steam outside of the default directory. Always check permissions and I added exceptions to my AV and firewall just for SH3. Those steps seemed to help negate the CTDs.

I do not remember if MS VPC is possible I never really used it. Perhaps someone that is currently using it will know.

The V6 comes out this month , right?
