Errors when installing Patch 1.4

kanolsen · 12-19-06, 08:16 AM

Silent Hunter III DVD v1.0 to v1.3 Update Program
This program cannot update the installed version of Silent Hunter III EMEA DVD v1.0 to v1.3 because of the following reason:
E:\Programfiler\Ubisoft\silenthunteriii\menu\en_he lp.txt: unknown version

I do see it only mention 1.3 but I downloaded the 1.4 patch... I swear (I think)

I just uninstalled SH3 and reinstalled it (even checked the registry), everything is fine.
But when I installed the patch from ubisoft's homepage and installed it the error message above appears. I have tried several times to uninstall and reinstall.

Does anyone have any good advice what to do about this one? I have checked the file and it doesn't contain anything else but txt. I chose english as the language in the game, and the file seems fine.

Could anyone send me the file on mail so I can see if it helps to just switch the files (hope and pray the rest of the files are ok).

If anyone has the giving-spirit during x-mas send the en_help.txt file to kanolsen at fastmail. fm

I have read the manual twice already and I am desperate to try GWX now!

Delete the help.txt files that the patcher is complaining about.

And all will be well.

Edit - 1.4b patch is labelled as 1.3, aren't Ubi good at what they do?

Try this: go to the ubisoft/SilentHunterIII directory and delete the file.
The patch is mislabled; it says it is 1.03 but it is really 1.04.
Make sure you have the fight patch; there are four of them and you need to use the right one.
