Silent hunter III with steam

TiberiusoftheSea · 05-05-18, 05:31 PM

I've just purchased a Steam copy of Silent Hunter III following a CTD issue I'm currently experiencing. From what I've found so far, nothing is different between the Steam version and the disc version except one is a digital media while the other a physical. They both run the same, are patched the same and load the same files.

That said, I would like to point out that if you use certain mods that patch your SH3.exe, technically you're not playing through Steam. To be specific, the Steam overlay will not load and Steam doesn't recognize the game as being played, even if added as a "non-Steam game". In effect, it is as though you're playing the physical copy.

When all is said and done however, at the current price, you're not missing out on much by purchasing a digital copy
