when at Mad Mardigan I never understand any of his gibberish.
it comes from the fact that you have installed the game or it was not necessary it is because of game explorer which sends rockets to the server ...

Ahoy, Kal_Maximus_U669...

The main gist of what I said was this...

If you have access to obtaining SH3, from Ubisoft themselves, dirrectly...
upon opening up the SH3 install folder, will then see that there are 2 icons marked as ''SH3''... 1 of these is the actual .exe needed to be used to run SH3... & the other is NOT... the .exe that is used to run SH3, has an addition to it that the copy obtained from ''Steam'' does NOT have added to the actual, useable .exe to run SH3... namely with the Ubisoft .exe version of the inclusion of _F or _g at the end so it ends up looking as follows:

SH3.exe_f or SH3.exe_g

Steam, is just plain out:

SH3.exe (provided you have files set up to show their entire hidden attributes... which I did, at 1 time, but set it up to do away with that... just the way I like doing it...

Hope this helps you to better understand what I was getting at now....

And no resentment here... text is grand but not without limitations... more keen, when different languages are in the mix... so no worries mate.

The only time I had a CD/DVD copy of SH, was back on a desktop running Win 98 SE, & was SH: Commanders Edition... & that was many... many moons ago...

Every thing else that I have dealt with regarding SH has been though either Steam or Ubisoft... through online downloads... which I readily admit to being limited in knowledge to issues faced by those using CD/DVD means of installs for SH in any version...

It is hoped that prowler, is able to get this snafu they are having with their copy of SH3 resolved & in as judicious a timely manner as it possible... so that they can then enjoy getting on the hunt in the game...
