Farewell to SH3
 

I have just removed the game from my system. After years of enjoying it and the mods, it gave up on me !

Suddenly, without my making any changes to the system, my crew voices were gone. I played with the options, checked my sound system and pulled some hair out.

I called Ubisoft after re-installing three, THREE times. No mods running, patched up to 1.4 and clean, CLEAN.

Ubisoft told me to update my vid and audio drivers, done, no change.

So, I am off to the Pacific in SH4 which is working fine.

Thanks and happy hunting all!:damn:

:-? Hmmmm.... sorry to hear that. You sure you didn't install any mods that conflicted with SH3? Perhaps you forgot to delete some residual files after the uninstall and consequently had the same problem after re-installing?

How very odd. Still, I wouldn't let a little setback like that turn me away. There has to be a reason, and there has to be a solution. I don't know what they might be, but there has to be one.

Also, calling UBISoft probably wouldn't help anyway. You should have come here first.

Yeah, if they aren't going to make a profit out of it then they're probably not interested unfortunately. I'm sure some of the tech wizzards stalking these radio rooms will be able to help :ping:. Would be a shame to loose a Kaleun to those pesky Yanks in the Pacific! :roll:

If you use SH3CMDR and screw around with the time compression, sound issues arise. Some people also have a problem with sound acceleration on their sound card.

Sorry to hear you want to move on. But like Sailor Steve says, something is messing up the works. Therefore there has to be a fix. :yep:

lo mate

id take notice of what irish1958 is saying..
if using commander there has been a small problem of crew voices dissapearing when fiddling with time compression, sorry to hear youve retired from the atlantic...we need all the kaleuns we can get:up:

I don't know if this will help, but when I first got SHIII, it wouldn't run at all. I went back and forth with UBI about it for weeks. Finally I dropped my video resolution down and SHIII ran fine. Then when I put the video resolution back up, it kept running fine. Try lowering the video resolution for the game as well and see if that helps. It seemed to "kick start" my game and once it was running, I was able to get the video resolution back up to where it was.

What would BdU say to all this chat of leaving your boat...:hmm:

BE MORE AGRESSIVE!!
:stare:

Spot on :up::rotfl:

And if you return to base?
It's a one bullet retirement plan!!
:rotfl:

But you don't have to pay for the bullet.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

He'll be back............

What can I say...
 

After all those encouraging replies, I guess I could give it a new go.

As I said, three installs didn't help. I had been using SH3CMDR but not on those last two tries.

I do admit that I didn't actually delete files, just used the 'repair' and patch routine. There may have been some bad old stuff left behind.

Thanks guys, the captain is back on the bridge. Just because the diesels won't start, the batteries are exhausted, and the food has gone bad - no reason to abandon ship. We shall overcome.

I will report back if the radio still works. :up:
