Silent Hunter 3 CTD After intro

Shoie13 · 02-18-09, 09:17 PM

I downloaded it through Steam, launch the game and see the UBI logo and the intro, then it crashes immediately afterwards.

RAM : 4GB Kingston HyperX 1066mhz
Video: ATI Radeon 4870HD
CPU : AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core @2.5ghz
OS : Windows XP X64

Any solutions?

Hi shoie13

Welcome to Subsim

I think you have problems with one of your mods .
Do you use SH3Commander 3.2 and JSGME ( Generic mod enabler )
If you don't have them , download them as soon as you can .
but if you have them both , do as follow :

* Disable all of your mods with JSGME
* And after that , enable one mod at a time , step by step .
* It can be you're not enable them in right order

If not , I'm sure there's other who can help you

Good Luck

I just installed the game. I'm not using any mods.

Solution: Went to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\silent hunter 3\data\Movies\Intro

And simply renamed the files. Game loads fine now.

Welcome aboard, Shoie13.
This is a known issue with some installs of SH3; it has to do with a conflict in your set of codices; renaming or deleting these movie files usually is the solution. I was getting ready to suggest what you discovered when I saw your last note. If you install GWX3.0 you will have a problem with their opening also, and you will need the same solution.
