LSH3 crashes upon loading to desktop every time.

applesthecat · 11-16-16, 12:03 AM

I don't know if this should be here. I posted a similar thread in the MOD forum but maybe this is the better place for it.

I have windows 10 and just installed the LSH3 super mod and now it crashes each time it tries to start either a career or a single mission. It worked fine before the LSH3 mod installation. I followed the instructions closely. It is installed, I can pick my mission, but after the red bar goes right to the end, it pauses and then CTDs.

I have tried:

lowering resolution
enabling OS compatibility with older WIndows
playing with the video card settings
and a few other other things.

Does anybody know of any issues that cause this. Some files that may be a problem?

Thanks.

Hi applesthecat
This is a classic Windows 10 incompatibility issue mentioned in my tutorials.
Change Windows 10 to run in compatibility mode Windows 7.
SH3.exe
SH3Commander
JSGME
Run all these as administrators.

Okay thanks

I notice there is a folder on my destop with the exe commands and a few other things. Do I launch the game from there or from the Steam shortcut?

I also notice that the jsgme, commander, and SH3 exe files are also here in addition to being in my Silent Hunter 3 directory. I enabled the Windows 7 compatibility option in both places for all three. Is that correct?

Well, I tried it that way, and it still stops working. When the game loads, it says game paused, and nothing can unpause it. Everything is frozen.

I tried starting it from Steam or from the LSH3 shortcut and it is the same for both ways. Even though I enabled the full screen option, I no longer have full screen. It is cut off at both sides.

I tried enabling the full screen mod in jsmge, but when I Tried to do that, I got a long message in German. It asked me Ja or Nein, so I choose Nein. I think it was telling me that if I enabled it, I would screw up the Main mod that was already enabled.

thanks, yes, I tried deleting the V15 file, but it made no difference. I had no saved games anyway. The instructions tells you to deavtivate the mods from the bottom to the top, but for me, the only mod I have is the main one. It won't allow any other mods to activate while the main mod is activated.
