Make sure your exe applications are set to run as administrators.
I am sure someone who has some STEAM knowledge will be able to help you.

Load it up. As it's loading look in the lower right-hand corner. This will tell you which version is running. It may already be 1.4b, in which case you're good to go. One note: It won't say 1.4b, it will just say 1.4. A mistake on their part, but there it is.

Of course it may not already be at that level, but one thing at a time.

If problems persist, you might want to try this:

I had a problem with "sh3 not found" and used a similar archive from another site that had the files the installer was complaining about and got past the error

While it is setup to remove Starforce Protection, it has updated SH3 files in it that you could place in your directory to see if it gets past those "file not found" errors
Unpack and copy the files reported missing into your installation folder.

Greetings THEBERBSTER and SteamSub!

What you guys are doing here is promoting the use of cracks! Both of your links point to cracks, only hidden under a changed name!

There has been a legal version around and I keep wondering why this is never mentioned instead of promoting the use of crack-archives: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=steam%20starfor...20%53%46%53%46

THEBERBSTER · 12-13-18, 04:28 PM

Hi Blackswan
There is nothing cracked in any of my tutorials SH3-4 or 5 that has been put there by me to my knowledge.
None of my thousands of posts contain anything deliberately hidden or promoting anything illegal.

I find your post and accustaion quite slanderous.

Peter

The Steam SH3 should already be at the correct version for you Blutenburg.

Not speaking to SteamSub's link here Blackswan (I'm not familiar with the Star Farce junk), but you have a signature that states "if my question has been answered before, i will be happy when you give me a link"... This is a similar situation. Look at the badges THEBERBSTER has been awarded here. Look at how long he has been a member here. Read the forum rules, and realize how your accusation sounds and looks... I do believe an apology is owed to Peter by you, immediately, if not sooner...

Jeff-Groves · 12-13-18, 07:20 PM

Ubi themselves gave the OK to pass around the HACKED Star Force files.
There is or was a post about that here at Subsim.

The files included in the links ARE those files. NOT the Non-Star Force files in newer versions which never HAD Star Force.

A quick look at file sizes will tell you that.

You Sir owe a BIG apology!

I'll rate that at 'Next time I want your opinion? I'll beat it out of you!'

hauangua · 12-14-18, 03:00 AM

ubisoft authorized the removal of "starforce" in 2009, the same Star-force.com has released a free removal tool,

http://www.star-force.com/support/drivers/

And as @Jeff Groves wrote Peter's files are "official" and absolutely legal

moreover the "Steam fix" option only changes the default "steam" path by moving SH3 out of the folder "program (x86) operation allowed now directly from Steam ---> settings..

Blackswan1940 I do not understand where it would be "crack "!!!!
Next time better think before you write rubbish

BigWalleye · 12-18-18, 07:43 AM

Has anyone heard from Blackswan1940 recently? He seems to have left the toom.

SteamSub, I quoted Blutenburg also, because you had quoted him on the previous page. His install is a Steam install, which is what I have, and like Sailor Steve (he plays bass guitar, btw) mentioned to Blutenburg, the game might already be at v1.4.b, which mine was when I loaded up my Steam version. So if you've got a Steam version, you don't have to jump through those hoops. If you ~don't~ have a Steam version, then I am at a loss. I have an old Star-farce version disk, but it is buried somewhere in a box or a drawer or somewhere that I cannot find... sorry.

SteamSub · 12-23-18, 01:17 AM

Thanks, Mine I got from UBISOFT directly and some one else prior had a difficulty with a UBISOFT install trying to add a mod, with the sh3.exe not installed error, and explained how it was overcome.

It is solved in my case by insuring spaces in the install path were replaced (that error went away)
then by replacing the sh3.exe, and the mod worked from the star force archive found on THEBERBSTERs page ( see post 14)

propbeanie · 12-23-18, 07:29 AM

Sorry 'bout that. I misunderstood. I took it you were still having trouble with it. My eyes were drunk on too much Silent Hunter last night...
