Can't patch SH3

moosejam · 06-12-07, 07:09 PM

So I bought this game, loaded it up and like all good captains tried to patch it,

i downloaded silent_hunter_3_dvd_1.4b_emea.exe

I get the error msg "This program cannot update the installed version of Silent Hunter 3 EMEA DVD v1.0 to v1.3 because of the following reason:

c:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\MissionEngine.dll: unknown version

I tried to patch to v1.1 I downloaded silent_hunter_3_dvd_1.1_emea.exe

I get error msg "This program cannot update the installed version of Silent Hunter III EMEA DVD v1.0 because of the following reason:

C:|Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\anim.act: unknown version.

does anyone know what the problem is and can suggest a solution ? thanks

Hi Moosejam,
There are several 1.4b patches; If you purchased the game in the US on a DVD, you need the US DVD patch, which you can download from the UBI web site, among other places.

Moosejam,
Need any more help?
After you get the game patched, install GWX 1.03 and SH3CMDR to get the full effect of this wonderful game.

Welcome aboard Kaleun moosejam

I'm not aware of your location or what version you have purchased

IIRC there are at least 6 out there

There is the American disc and the online d/l version and likewise European versions...the patch for each can be found here:http://www.silent-hunteriii.com/uk/updates.php

You need to find out which version you have first.

There are also bargain bin discs in some shops, some already incorporating the patch and others without.

Good luck

If he's only just bought it, I'd put money on it already being patched to 1.4b.

Check the version number by starting the game and checking in the bottom right corner of the main menu.
