Silent Hunter III Steam + Grey Wolf Mod Problem

captain_noob · 12-21-13, 09:44 PM

Hi All,

Very new to Silent Hunter, always wanted to play, never had the time. I have just bought Silent Hunter III from Steam on its Christmas sale. I then downloaded the Grey Wolves Mod from here:

http://www.thegreywolves.com/index.php

When I run the install .exe for the mod it tells me my version is incompatible because it is already modded! This is not the case, as it is a new "clean" install fresh from Steam.

So what am I doing wrong here? To anyone that answers thanks heaps! I really want to get into this sim!

WELCOME ABOARD!

The first problem might be Steam itself, though I'm pretty certain people do run it without too many problems. The second problem might be the platform you're running it on. Windows 7 and 8 don't like to let anything run under Program Files. It's a good idea to create a folder for the game inside the main 'C' folder and run it from there. I can't say much more since I'm still stuck with a nine-year-old single-core XP rig.

You might find some help in one of the many 'Running SH3 on Windows 7' threads, but they get tangled quickly so we can only hope someone with that experience will turn up here with the help you need. Knowing Subsim, it will happen.

You need to point the installer to the correct folder containing the sh3.exe
DO NOT just clicky-clicky and allow it to try the default path.
It's that simple.

DO not post links to free copies of SH3, this game is still available for sale.

Posting to links of the above usually results in an instant ban on SubSim but I'm giving the benefit of the doubt on this one and only instance this time.

Put the 7 components in a folder on desktop including greywolves exe.

Did a fresh install of Sh3 on steam, version 1.4.

double click on GW exe and entered the right path...steam/steamapps/common/silenthunter3 and it keeps telling me it is modded and will not load

windows 8.1, what am I doing wrong here?It is a fresh install

Many thanks for any help, about to give up on this
