I am having an issue with the commander application though. The changes that I make on the commander settings do not affect any ingame values, for instance, changing the "show hull integrity" does not actually make the hull integrity show in the game. The only thing that appears to work from commander is that it does apply the name of my captain to the when I go to start a new career, but no other settings apply to the game.

I did update the path that commander follows to the folder in which SH3 is located since it is not that default path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Silent Hunter 3

Is this the path that commander is looking for? I also installed (or attempted to, I assume it worked) the patch for commander to make it compatible with GWX.

I did do a search in the forum here but I didn't see this issue.


Thanks for any reply, I can't wait to get back into this game.
If you have a secondary drive, D for example, create a games folder in there and start again.

Uninstall from C first and delete the SH3 folder then do a registry clean.

Any problems post here or PM me.
