Patch 1.4b wont load...help please.

CTaardvark · 03-09-10, 12:26 PM

Hi all,

Just got SH3 , however I cannot get patch 1.4b to load. I've got the Revival version of SH3 from play.com. I keep getting a message telling me that the missionengine.dll is an unknown version. Any clues?

Oh yes. I've just spent the day reinstalling XP so the system should be clean.

Ta for the help.

WELCOME ABOARD!

You have the newest version. It won't take the patch because it's already patched. Start it up and look at the lower right-hand corner of the loading screen. It should say 1.4.

You're good to go.

Aha! Does that mean I don't have the Starforce thingy?

Also, as I'm new to sub sims, should I have a go with this version first or should I dive straight in and install the Grey Wolves mod?

Thanks for the help Sailor Steve

Yes, no Starforce in your version. I would at least play through the training missions to get a feel of the sim, then if you feel ready, go for GWX 3.0.

You are on your way to a lifelong obsession if the sub bug gets you.
This I know.
