I bought a reserve copy of SH III yesterday; just to make sure I would have a backup in case anything happened to my original dvd. The game came at a very reasonable price € 5,99.
When I saw that the vendor only put the dvd in the box I asked: 'aren't you forgetting something?'
'No way she said'.....
OK, that's strange...no manual, no map, no CODE......
When I got home I tried to get my new copy to work....but my constant tweaking of SH III had left my install so warped that it could not be unistalled in the normal way...
I couldn't reinstall the game either because of leftover in the registry, even after cleaning it.
So, a complete reinstall of XP was my best option.
After installing my brand new Silent Hunter 3 I find:
1) no Starforce
2) no need for the dvd to be in the drive
3) already patched to 1.4
