No apologies needed Redwake. We are here to help if we can.

Check out this thread and the video post from SnipersHunter .

His post is # 4 in this thread and see if that answers your questions. Although your game is SH4 and not SH3, they are both steam applications. I remember reading here that our forum members preferred having and using a DVD copy of the game and not a download. It may be easier to purchase the DVD of SH4 gold version which has the U boat missions.

I'm also wondering if your game is star force protected. There is a star force extractor available. A forum member of ours, Blitzkrieg, has a thread with tools to help you with your installations as well, Redwake. " Blitz " has other tools there so you will have to look through them to see if there is anything of interest. Blitzkrieg and the other " Mod Guru's " here are pretty sharp so don't hesitate to ask for assistance. Peter, " THEBERBSTER " is also a font of information and is always helpful.

This is the site for a star force removal tool. ( sfdrvrem.exe. ) Where you can read up on what it does and download it.

It's in a zip file which means you need an extractor to get the Exe. program. When installing your game, don't install it in the default path but instead, create a game folder and install there. You also never mentioned what operating system you are using which makes a difference as well.

When you download the patch, make a copy of it and store it in another thumb drive or peripheral drive. When you install the patch, it should automatically find your game install and folder and install itself there. It will tell you where it is going to install so double check that. I never tried installing 2 patches and usually the latest patch covers all previous patches so i would just install the 1.4 patch. If you purchase SH4 gold, it should already have everything so there will be no need to install patches.

I hope this helps.

Regards.
