In your game's main install directory.

What is your install path ? if it is something like programfiles/ubisoft/silenthunter3 that is the problem. Make a folder outside of that path and install the game there.
I.e., C:\SH3
Also, are you saying you can't get the game even patched with the 1.4b patch ?

My os is Win 10.
My install path is D:\LSH3-2020.

I have tried to run the SH3 installation but I get a msg stating that SH3 is not compatible with Win10.

Looks like the star force message. Do a search how to remove it and also how to run SH3 on Windows 10.

Just out of curiousity... your plain, unmodded install of SH3... how do you have the folder for that install you did off the disk.?

It should be named SilentHunterIII or SilentHunter3 or SH3...

As John, said... make sure that folder is NOT in either \Program files

Or \Program files (x86)

When you run the installer for LSH3-2020, it will have you point it at your 'unmodded' plain jane install of SH3.... aptly named as I mentioned above.

(If I am NOT mistaken, it will then do the following...)

It will then copy those files from there, add in the needed files for LSH3, patch as needed, then drop it where you tell it to do so.

I told it at that point, to drop LSH3-2020, into C:\Games\SH3

&.. it did so.

Hope this info helps...

Edit:

Just took a look at that snap shot you posted... that is a whole different ball game.

Do that search John mentioned of, about a work around for that protection... or google search 'theberbster subsim' (without the ' ' comma marks) they have a lot of info on SH3 & iirc, a tutorial about starforce removal, I think it was...

either that, or go to Ubi & grab a fresh downloadable copy of SH3... & follow what I mentioned above to do...

Re-edit:

forget searching, here is there main page, just click the link for 'LSH3-2015', then scroll through the list of tutorials he has hot listed there & find the one/s, on starforce...

Hi mates,

will have a look at this during these days.

Original installation folder name
 

Hi mates,

please make sure your original SilentHunter3 installation folder is named Silent Hunter 3, SilentHunter3 or SilentHunterIII.
Otherwise the installer will not be able to verify your original installation.

The page before you get to the selection of the original installation folder gives this Information very clearly.
Please read the text in the installer carefully BEFORE you click the mouse button!

See first post of Urmel!

Hello submarine friends

I miss THEBERBSTER very much, because he could always clear up all problems.

For us as a German speaking team it is very difficult to understand, translate and then answer all posts accurately!

Please excuse our poor English>German>English translation.

Almost all the problems reported above are problems from people who have NOT read the LSH3-2020 manual!

It is definitely necessary to read the LSH3-2020-INSTALLATION manual and to follow all instructions during installation!

Anyone who does NOT do this is describing "errors" here which do not really exist.

Please read the LSH3-2020-INSTALLATION manual and the instructions during the LSH-2020 installation.

If you do everything correctly, everything will work!

Greetings from Urmel and Blueduck :Kaleun_Salute:

LSH-2020 my Install i made a folder on my desktop called BLK40 copied and pasted a stock version of SH3 then I copied and pasted the LSH2020 download run the LSH2020 Install it asked me where my SH3 installation was then i clicked on the SilentHunterIII Folder it then asked me where i wanted to install it
LSH2020-CAREER it then creates the folder on drive C:/of same name(Not in Programe Files x86)then i made a second one called LSH2020-MULTIPLAYERMISSIONS
and all works well.

To play the Single/Multiplayer Missions you have to copy n paste them from the mod archive folder into your Mods folder then activate them through JSGME.


If your having problems installing with steam or the SH3 Starforce version send me a pm with your real name and postal address and ill get you squared away being one of Onkel Neals Mod Guru's line chiefs its my job to get you sorted and on the high seas

LSH2020 Granville Tonnage mismatch
 

LSH2020 Granville Tonnage mismatch

In the Museum the Granvile Freighter has a Tonnage of 4650tons but in the
Id book its listed as 2010tons

https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/pic...ictureid=11699

https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/pic...ictureid=11695

Quick fix go to the Data Folder then the Sea Folder scroll down the Folders untill you come to NGRA open up the Folder then open up the NGRA Config then change the Tonnage to 4650 then save and close the folder Job Done

Thanks so much to LSH3 team for this mod! A great gift for the holidays!

Training Game Paused and Career game crash
 

Thank you all for your help.

The installation problem was due to the fact that the installation folder was not named Silenthunter3.

LSH 2020 installed without further issues and the Nvidia settings were used as instructed.

Game loaded and i tried running a training mission.

The game display showed the game as being paused and no matter which time compression key i used it stayed paused (See screenshot).

I tried going out on patrol in career mode and whilst the game did start loading it exited to windows after a short while.

Any ideas on what i might have done wrong?

Screen too wide for my laptop
 

I'm at a total loss as to how to figure out what type of video card I have, and then how to fix the screen so that the "start" buttons are visible, I can see probably about 90% of the screen, but it cuts off where I would need to click to start a training mission or career. I have a HP Pavillion dv7 laptop running WIN10

Hi Darthlucky maybe you can upgrade your graphics drivers check this hp link out

Hi blackswan40,

we have thought of making copy and paste easier and have provided the LSH3-2020 MODARCHIVE MANAGER.
https://www.lsh3.com/ftp/blueduck/su...VE-MANAGER.png
It is included as a shortcut in the desktop folder.
Start it, select the mod or mods and click copy - JSGME will start automatically.

See page 16 in the LSH3-EDITION-2020-INSTALLATION_EN.pdf for more Information about LSH3-2020-MODARCHIVE-MANAGER.

sweet thankyou blueduck

Re: Game paused... fix...
 

Ahoy, ryoga_77... :Kaleun_Cheers:

This is caused by a corruption of the main.cfg file in either the SH3 folder in My Documents or the main.cfg file in SilentHunterIII/data/Cfg. What usually happens is this section is missing in one of them.

[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=128
CriticalDamage=1
CrewEfficiency=1
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=2
CharacterAnim=4
EnemyDetected=8
RadioReport=8
Particles=32
PrayState=8
HunterState=32
3DRender=32
Maximum=1024


Check both & copy/paste in the [TIME COMPRESSION] section above then save the main.cfg file that is missing that info...

Hi blackswan40,

we got this ship from AG124/Rowi and did not change anything to the original.

Please do not mix GRT (volume) and tons (weight).
Museum says GRT and the Displacement is in tons (not GRT as to read), afaik there is no formula to calculate them vice versa..

The changes you suggest are just cosmetics, though the ship itself still will have a mass of 2325 tons.
Museum gives a length of 78.3m and the cfg-file of 92m. Maybe AG124 kann tell about the different values.

I will not change anything to that ship unless I can have a look at a plan or maybe the Lloyds Register Excerpt of this ship.

Blueduck
