Newbie to SH3

Dogfish40 · 08-12-11, 07:26 PM

Ahoy Captains,
I'm new to SH3 but have been playing SH4 for about a year. I'm looking forward to sailing the Atlantic and Modding the Game to it's fullest. I'll be asking lots of questions.

Feel free to fire away and welcome to SH3!

I hope you brought the latest Version of SH3 thats StarForce free and has 1.4 patched.

It's available at Amazon for $6.38 as of today.

Installs right into Win7 64bit smooth as silk.

I feel ripped off, I paid 9.99$ here on base in Kabul, but true it comes with SH2 also. Mine was patched to 1.4 out the box.

Well, I'm not sure if it's 1.4 or not. I have Win7 and it installed and booted with no problems. I say I'm not sure because I got some kind of package deal and all I can remember is that I got Sh4, Sh3 and SH2 at the same time. I'm not really bothering with SH2 as I can't even locate it.
I've been playing SH4 for so long that I'm used to the graphics in that game. Now I want to get SH3's graphic's as best looking as possible.
The downloads section shut me down last night after 3 downloads, but I would like to try and get that MOD that enables better resolutions.
Tell me, anyone, what MODS you suggest for eye candy. I'm really into making the graphics as real looking as possible.
Thanks (Danka)

PS: Whats the best way to know if I'm running 1.4?
PPS: Does this game run without the disc inserted?

Without the disc:

For the game version, I believe it's in the right bottom corner of the mainmenu or options menu.

As for mods,start with GWX 3.0, then add some smaller mods to your own liking.

Lower right-hand corner of the loading screen.

1) If you just bought it and it was bundled with the other games then it is almost certainly able to run without the disc.

2) If the loading screen says 1.4 then it will run without the disc.

3) Take the disc out and try it. If if runs then you know.
