When you say unknown version what exactly does it say
Usually it doesnt recognise one file as being from 1.0 or later patches Depending on the file it mentions just go into your SilentHunterIII folder and delete the file named Usually works then File is being replaced by the patch so is safe to do BUT post the exact message first Just in case |
it says ( the program can not update the installed version of silent hunter 3 US DVD v1.0 to v1.3 because of the following reason) (C:\program files\ubisoft\silent hunter 3\data\menu\de_help.txt: unknown version) thanks for the quick reply and for future help

That one is safe to delete. There are usually 4 .txt files left behind by the uninstaller which usually have to be deleted by hand before the patch will work.
|
Just a quick note
if you have Vista go to SH3 Ubi Folder, At Top you See Compatibility Files? Click on it, Delete Them, Now try Fresh Install. For Vista Users Only, Hope this Helps. |
how do i get to that file,im not a computer guy. all ive done is uninstall and go to registry and delete ubisoft file.

2.delete the ubisoft folder from the all program files 3.delete the sh3 folder from my documents then reboot and install the game and reboot again after that try the patch.if you get error message that means that you don't use the right version of the patch (there are many versions of 1.4 patch depeding if your game is from dvd or download or europe or usa) you will find them,here: http://www.silent-hunteriii.com/uk/updates.php bye |
