Trouble installing SH3 and SH4

Commander Wallace · 03-22-18, 07:42 AM

Hello Mike. You never mentioned if you have a retail version of SH3 and 4 or the Steam version. Although I don't have any experience with Steam versions, our members here have reported issues with Steam. Try this.

1) completely delete SH3 and 4 from your system and I mean completely.

2) Install the game in a specific folder and DO NOT install in the default pathway. You may also elect to run the game as an administrator.

3 ) Install a fresh version of your games and determine if they have been patched, If the games are not patched, install patch version 1.4 into SH3.

4 ) I'm not sure if you are installing a super mod like GWX but if so, don't close the game but rather install all of those files in the same specific folder as well while the game is still open.

5) You can then close out the game. Agree to install game shadow and another screen will come up and at that point, decline not to install game shadow as Catfish has said and close out the game.

* Subsim founder Neal Stevens made available modifications to allow the simulations to be played without the DVD in the computer as well. The modifications should be in the archives. Sailor Steve and Catfish both had good advice as well.

Once the games are up and running, you can install any additional mods through the JSGME mod enabler interface.

I hope this help you mike. Let us know how this works and good luck.
