GWX installation issue

horrgakx · 12-16-06, 05:22 PM

... well kinda. I can't even get SHIII re-installed.

In order to get GWX installed I've had to uninstall SHIII completely. So, I've installed the vanilla version of SHIII and without even running the game I tried the patch. However it won't run!!

Any ideas please?

Delete the en_help text then try

After uninstall, check that there is not a Silent Hunter III folder in your installation directory. If there´s one, delete it before re-installing.

Thanks, deleting that file did the trick.

Will utils like SHIII Inspector still work?

Going to be hard to get used to the bridge sticking out of the water at periscope depth, got spotted & fired upon before I'd got into firing range on one of the missions

Takes a lot longer to load up to a mission too, not complaining just noting. Thought it had crashed at first and did the 3-finger salute. Leaving it for 5 mins did the trick.

The conning tower doesn't stick above the water at PD, but it will after a few minutes if you don't move. You can only maintain PD at 2 knots or above.

A little trick I've learned is that even when you are stopped, if you set your depth a little deeper, you will begin to go down initially without moving b4 it rises again.

I've got a question concerning the German Keyboard Hotfix. I've downloaded the Hotfix and what am I supposed to do now?

bigboywooly · 12-16-06, 07:26 PM

Extract it into the mods folder in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII
And enable through JSGME which is also in the above folder

I'm not sure about inspector, but some minitweaker files don't work, in a few days I'll put together the changes and post new MT files.

How should I do that? All the other files in the MODs section have a certain structure with subfolders etc. and the Hotfix is just a .7z file. When I open the Mod enabler it doesn't recognize the Hotfix and because of that I can't install it.

horrgakx · 12-17-06, 05:45 AM

That's a compressed file.

If it's any help try d\l reg cleaner it removes all SH-3 and do the usual

And if all fails .....read the the manual. Good Luck.

Extract the 7z file into the Mods folder

Thank you guys, just worked really well!!! Now I've got another question: Before enabling the Hotfix I enabled the Integrated Orders mod. When I enabled the Hotfix mod, the program told me that enabling the Integrated Orders mod had already changed the de_CFG files and enabling the Hotfix may cause problems. I'm a little bit confused now.
