If you use the off-line mode of Steam you can play the game "outside" the Steam environment. My recommendation is to copy and paste your version of SH3 to a different folder (say GWX) and then install GWX on top of it (the new folder). That way your original SH3 is intact and you also have a GWX version to play with.

And keep it OUT OF ANY PROGRAM FOLDER.

Hey gents, am raring to go for Grey Wolves, but

1) My OS is Windows 7 (64bit)

2) My SH III is a Steam copy

Have followed the instructions but an error message comes up asking me to put in 'disk 7' then it says it cannot locate GWX 7.bin despite it being there. Also all the bin files are coming up as just being 1kb.

Any suggestons? i looked through this thread, but its so large. Thanks in advance.

p.s: those wolf gifs are cool!

****UPDATE*** Please ignore this thread, solved the issue, and it's installing now....can't wait!!!!

How about posting the resolution here so others may benefit in the future?

After all, that is how most here learn.

How do I refuel at a resupply ship?

KeptinCranky · 03-17-10, 07:18 PM

You get fairly close (less than 25km) and then end your patrol in the same way as you would in any friendly port,

press <ESC> and choose Dock at: <supplyshipname>

You then get a fully resupplied boat, albeit with a standard torpedo loadout that you can't tailor to your wants (you get what you're given) you CAN manage your crew but not upgrade your boat.

It might be wise to then exit the game and, if you're using SH3 commander, set the days spent in base to 1 for your next patrol, otherwise you might spend a month in lovely Spain, which is of course nice, but not very realistic

Happy Hunting!

Spotted a British sub attched to a convoy as escort, (1940).

-- Bug?

BUG

Convoy HXF.11 departed Halifax at 1000 escorted by Canadian destroyers ST LAURENT and SKEENA, which detached on the 3rd. Ocean escort was provided by armed merchant cruiser ASCANIA and submarines NARWHAL and SEAL. On the 3rd, 70 miles from Halifax, steamers MANCHESTER REGIMENT (5989grt) and OROPESA (14,118grt) collided. MANCHESTER REGIMENT was taken in tow, but foundered in mid-afternoon, and the crew taken aboard OROPESA.

Convoy HX.11, escorted by destroyer HYPERION and Canadian destroyers ST LAURENT and SKEENA, departed Halifax at 1000. HYPERION was detached early on the 5th and at 1600/5th the Canadian ships turned over the convoy to ocean escort by battleship Revenge and French submarines SFAX and CASABIANCA as protection against German battleships. The submarines were detached off the Lizard on the 16th and arrived at Brest on the 17th, being escorted into port by French sloop COMMANDANT RIVIERE

But we have no Fr subs

Those 2 are from Dec 39 so you get the idea

New to GWX 3 (THE SH5 DRM debacle made me re-install SH3), but you guys have done a really great job....well done to all involved!!!

Although you have given me my guiltiest SH moment ever....I felt so bad taking out that beautiful little French scooner, as I riddled it with bullets from my flak gun.

Deemsee · 03-22-10, 05:53 PM

To the grey wolves team, my thanks for this fantastic mod. I'm a long time SH player, though I only surface very occasionally (I think this is my second time on these boards!) Thanks for completing my all time favorite sim. Ubi...you should hire these people!

Impressive....most impressive...
