4 GB Patch?

[Delta Wolf]

Hey Guys,

Seem to be having an issue when installing the patch, i point the patcher to my SH3 here....

C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\STEAM\STEAMAPPS\COMMON\SILENT HUNTER 3

But it tells me i have an unknown version?

I have tried again and run as a administrator but no luck, is there a way round this?

Im using the Starforce free patcher, i take it that is the correct one for Steam?

Perhaps someone knowledgeable can post whether there is a version of the 4GB patch for the Steam game?

Hello TiberiusXIV,

See if the 4 GB patch from here works. Try again, run as admin + navigate to the Sh3 exe in steam.

first you need to edit the permissions of the folder to full permisions/ write control abilities. then you need to atch nin admin mode.

Hi guys,

Could someone elaborate a bit on this for me please?, I have right clicked on the SH3 file and tried to edit the file in proprieties but i have not done it right as im getting the same message when i try to run the patcher

If you go to Amazon, you can buy either an unaltered download or a DVD of the SH3 for $10. Either one WILL work with the 4GB patch, and any and all patches, mods, and add-ons you can download. (And, if you use the link at the head of this page, SubSim gets a - small - kickback!) If you use a Staem product, there is no such guarrantee. Steam games all include additional DRM designed for the protection and convenience of the corporate rightsholder, without consideration for the convenience or rights of the purchaser. Consequently, your ability to modify the code you bought can be difficult, may sometimes be impossible, and can never be assumed.

Thanks for the advice BigWalleye but im going to try and get SH3 patched with the steam version as it seems other people here have managed to do it. Plus i live in the UK and the download link from amazon is for the US and i am unsure if that would work?




So if desertstriker or Jimbuna could just elaborate a little on "first you need to edit the permissions of the folder to full permisions/ write control abilities. then you need to atch nin admin mode." then that would be awesome.

Thanks again

K mate here's what you do:
1 Right click the folder
2 Properties
3 Security
4 Edit
5 Tick both Full Control and Write boxes
6 Apply
7 OK

From memory I think that's pretty much it mate. Good luck

Best regards.
