You will need a fresh install of SHIII patched to 1.4
Download all 7 bin files and the exe and place into 1 folder
Run the exe and point it to your fresh install
Done |
I downloaded the files right from subsim server thingy...the one where it asks for a donation. My problem is that now with the files downloaded where do I put them, the readme just keeps sending me back to the "Thanks for your Support" page where the files are listed.
I simply downloaded the files which went to my downloads folder and ran the exe...it goes through the initial process and while its installing I get an "Error" stating:
"C:\ProgramFiles\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\sea\ NBC_GraffSpee.dat
An error occurred while trying to copy a file:
The source file is corrupted.
Click Retry to try again, Ignore to skip this file(not recommended), or Abort to cancel installation"
The only thing that is a variable is because years ago I bought SH3 on direct2drive and tried on my older laptop...didnt work so it waited...got a newer laptop now and originally it didnt work either because of some stupid activation code with d2d. My friend was able to use it so I didnt think anything of it...He comes back later with a dvd copy of my legally downloaded copy and i instal on my computer...guess what, SH3 worked....little slow around port but it ran well. Now I got this same error while trying to mod the copy...I figured ok, guess I should just go buy a disk copy of SH3....thats what I did....fresh new copy...but I saved the old game files from the old because well I really dont want to have to redo all those darn patrols again.
If I can solve the installation problem by reinstalling without the saved game files I am fine with that....little bit of crying maybe but i'll get over it.
Any ideas?
