I feel your pain, man. I spent most of yesterday fooling around with this mod - not a problem in the present pandemic life - and finally got it to work. I am running a steam version of SH3, no mega mod, and I did install the HSIE patch, which I understand includes the 4GB_PATCH, before I ran the TychoSh3Patch_v3
I unzipped the Tycho patch onto the desktop where it arrived in it's own folder. I copied the SH3.exe into that folder and performed the patch. Then I copied the patched SH3.exe back into the Silent Hunter 3 game folder which resides in the steamapps/common folder.
I enabled ARB WideGui 1920x 1080 with JSGME and have not enabled the ARN 3.1 mod - at least not yet. today I plan to experiment with 3.1 and a few other graphics enhancement mods.
just fyi, I had been trying to get this mod working before with GWX installed and it would crash. After much frustration it ended up that every run of SH3 would crash no matter which mods were enabled/disabled so I did a clean install and experimented with no mega mod, as described above.
