Help needed please with a new SH3 installation

GJO · 12-13-24, 06:08 PM

My plan was to try SH3 again having abandoned the game in 2021.
I purchased and downloaded the game from Ubisoft and downloaded all the mods that I plan to install from the Subsim forums.
Unfortunately, when I tried to install the H.sie V16B1 patch, I get the message:
"Sorry, no compatible version of sh3.exe found
Patching not possible! Exit."
Looking at my 'SilentHunterIII' folder - I can see that I have two executable files:
sh3.exe which is just 82kb, and,
sh3_g.exe which is 1,312kb
Clicking on either of the above runs the game.
I am not sure what is going on here and would be most grateful for advice.
