Hi Captains

Its about 1 month now that i cant continue my campaign not even to start a new one ( cause having ctd) and i don't know the reason.
I have install and uninstall the game almost 6 times. I had also bought a copy from steam,thought that my copy was the prob.
I have formatted my disk switching from win 7 to win 8.1
Result-- again ctd
Also i uninstalled graphic driver and installing an old one, but as you can imagine--- CTD
I had used the 4Gb patch
Thinking if an update causing this mess.

Hello.

Because i do not know the mods at all i can´t help with them. But one important question:
Where did you install the game? SH3 needs to change some files and that doesn´t work with win vista/7/8 if SH3 is installed in C:\programm files or C:\programm files (x86). Try out any other path on your hdd and perhaps it will work then.

Try running "Troubleshoot Compatibility" program in Win 8.1. I had the same problem when I upgraded to Win 8.1.

It might be that you are having mod soup, conflicts betwenn two or more mods resulting in ctd. Please tell us the directory where you have SH3 installed, something like C:\games\ubisoft\silenthunteriii. Are you using GWX 3.0? Are you using JSGME to install your mods?

Where can i find this?

Hi Guys
Thanks for your replies
I always installing the game to C/Games/Silent hunter knowing the win7-8
problem

I meant to ask this in my earlier post, but somehow I forgot - does SH3 run by itself without any mods installed?

Ping Jockey · 02-19-14, 07:46 AM

Right click on your SH3 Icon then click on "Troubleshoot Compatibility". Win 8.1 runs SH3 in Win XP SP3 mode on my PC.

I have exactly the same problem if I run any SH3 wide screen mod on my windows 8.0 or 8.1. Compatibility testing made no difference among numerous things I tried.
SH4 runs well in widescreen at maximum resolution, however.

nik112 · 02-20-14, 07:31 AM

Hi Guys
Tried the "Troubleshoot Compatibility" but failed.
@Irish i'll try disabling the widescreen mod and i'll try again

cheers

And the result was?

Hi Irish
Tonight after a long time started a new career and went out for the first patrol. As you suggested i didn't used the wide screen mod.
Thanks for the advice

cheers
