Any ideas?

Delete the SH3 folder in My Documents. You will lose any and all career saves but it may be a corruption in there causing an issue. Restart the game and see how it goes.



If that doesn't work...


Uninstall everything to do with the game, check to make sure the C:/Program Files/Ubisoft/Silent Hunter 3 folder (or whatever the original install path is), has gone.

Delete the SH3 folder from "My Documents"

Run something that'll clean the registry of old and broken links. Try CCleaner, it's freeware and pretty good.

Reinstall SH3, patch it to 1.4b and remove starforce following the guide available elsewhere on the site, if necessary.

When starforce is successfully removed (if you had it in the first place), run the game and see if it works now. If it does, quit and install GWX and happy hunting
