My problem (sorry if a dupe)

Torvald Von Mansee · 08-05-09, 04:54 PM

Well, I decided after a long while to play SH3, again. I couldn't find my disc, so I got a new version via Steam. I installed it, than tried to patch to 1.4 and I got this message:

This program cannot update the installed version of Silent Hunter III US Download v1.0 to v1.3 because of the following reason:

c:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\silent hunter 3\Menu\de_menu.txt: unknown version

Anyone know how I could possibly fix this?

I moved the file, than it didn't like other files, I moved those, and NOW it says it can't update because it doesn't have the files it didn't want!!!

If you downloaded off of Steam, it should be the 1.4 version and no need to apply the patch. What does your title screen say?

Another option is to right click (properties) on the sh3.exe in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII.

Look at the version tab. It will display 1.4.0.1
