Patch 1.4b?
 

I just learned that there had been a new GWX release, so I decided to reinstall SH3 and try it out. Problem: I can't find patch 1.4b anywhere. Ubi's site (and everything else that claims to offer silent_hunter_3_dvd_1.4b_us.exe) actually offers a 1.0 > 1.3 patch.

Is there anywhere that I can find an actual patch 1.4b?

Thanks.

Note that when you actually install the 1.4b patch, it will say it's the 1.3 patch. Ignore that.

Do yourself a favour!

After applying the 1.4b patch, copy the entire Silent Hunter 3 program directory to an external HDD or burn it to disk.

Then you NEVER have to install the game again. Copy & paste.:yep:

That's a good idea. Another is the way I do it: I have a separate folder stashed away called 'Data-My Way'. Every time I test a new mod with JSGME and it works, I then install it to my main game. If it doesn't work, I just copy the Data file from my special folder back to SH3. If it does work, I copy it the other way to update the 'My Way' version. That way I always have a copy of the fully patched and modded game ready to go.

Of course I also have a folder right next to it labelled 'SH3 1.4', with just the patched game. You never know when you're going to need it.

Wow. Didn't expect such fast replies.

I applied the patch and, like you guys said, the actual file version is 1.4 even though the installer claims it's 1.3.

Thanks. Just finished the GWX 3 torrent. I'll install it tomorrow and give it a spin.

THE USUAL
 

Well, things are going just as I expected. I installed Silent Hunter 3 and attempted to patch it to v1.4b. At the beginning of the patch installation I got this error message: Cannot install update:sh3.msg:file missing. Does anyone have any ideas?

I waited over -night hoping someone might have an idea about the error when trying to install the 1.4b patch. I was wondering if anyone had seen that before and had any ideas how to successfully install the patch.

Are you installing the game for the first time or is this a reinstall?

It is a reinstall. I haven't had it on here in a long time.

I tried something different. I was installing it on G drive, which shouldn't make any differnce. SO I removed it and put it on C: drive. I applied the patch successfully. The drive name should not matter to the patch but it did.
Thanks for your replies.
I'm going to try to putr GWX-3 on now and then I was wondering if any additional mods are necessary or desireable to add to that? Do you have any thoughts on this?

There are quite a number out there.

my suggestion would be to enable those that come with GWX3.0 and once your comfortable, try a few third party bits and pieces http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

A sound suggestion. I will do that. I didn't know how GWX-3 worked or that there were options involved. I will check it out. Thanks again.
