Silent Hunter Iii On Steam!!!

XanderF · 06-15-08, 02:16 AM

If you ever wanted to pick up the game without having to use a CD in the drive, here ya go!

It's on Steam!

Note that for only $28, you can buy a pack that includes Sh3, Sh4, and the 'U-boat Missions' for Sh4.

I'm re-buying these on Steam, myself (if for no other reason than this is ultra-portable. Even if the disks are scratched and no longer readable some day, any game bought on Steam can always be downloaded and played on any PC you'll ever have.) I'll be sure to report on how the mods work - so far, I've never had a problem with mods in Steam games (they are almost always VERY mod friendly), so we'll see how it goes!

This is FANTASTIC news! Advertised on the front page of Steam, no less!

BTW - mods work. Just tried the GWX 2.1 mods, and a bunch of other user-created mods. No problems!

Fantastic news, and good to hear about the mod ability as well. Much appreciated.

I got a downloadversion of sh3/4 and addon, but i still have to get a new key from the vendor for sh4/addon as soon as i redo the os or move it to my 2nd bootpartition. Im really p...ed

now. 4 weeks too late.

what patch version is the SH3 from steam? I just got the SH3/SH4 bundle - but didn't want to install SH3 until I knew if it had starforce or not. I'm enjoying SH4 but I'd like to give 3 a try too (and try out the atlantic campaign).

afaik no game on steam has a starforce copy protection - it is not accepted by the steam user community at all - but goto the forum at steam there are posts dealing with this issue
