First of all...."Wow"...Thanks for the welcome and the responses, guys.... Very kind and more than I expected.
I warned you I'm thick as a brick when it comes to this computer techno stuff...
Here's what's happened so far....
I had SH3 on my Steam account but rather than mess about, I bought it again as a download from Ubisoft.... It downloaded and installed without issue and runs fine...BUT. I was expecting a brand new account (as in having to start again from scratch) but the Ubi install gives me the same level/progress which I have on the Steam version, so I assume the servers are somehow linked??
Anyhow, I followed the instructions about turning off anti virus, restarting the pc, etc and downloaded the mega mod from THE BERBSTER......Again, no problem, that went well until I tried to install it and it requests the game file, at which point I get an error message telling me it's not a valid path or something....I've made sure it's the file for Silenthunter3 (with no spaces) but it's refusing to accept it...
Yes, I know it will be me being a dummy somehow but I'm wondering if it's because the games are automatic download and not a physical cd install? ... I get no option as to where they install, It's just pay, download, install, play. Never an option like you got with the cd games.
Thanks again, I won't give up, lol.
