Hello...

[T.Von Hogan]

Welcome aboard Taz. My copy is a D2D version it downloads allready at 1.4b and with no copyright protection tagging along. After you have famialized yourself with the game install the GXW2.0 mod and it will be like a whole new game. Good hunting herr kaleun!!

WELCOME ABOARD!

I've had the game for three years and never had a problem.

Welcome aboard TAZ, I never had problems with my disk.

To halfway answer your question, you do not "need" to install GameShadow, or whatever SH3 uses. I purchased SH3 from the store, and when installing, it asks to install GameShadow, I click cancel, because I update manually. The game still runs 100% with nothing stopping it.

I actually find Gameshadow a pretty decent and helpful little program. It keeps all my drivers and a good chunk of my games up to date without me having to check for updates constantly.
If you want to install the GWX Mod (and who wouldn't want that ?), don't install the one that Gameshadow has. They have an older version than what's current. Get the latest version here:

I also suggest the Torpedo Damage Final version 2.0 mod that makes torpedo and deck gun holes in ships that actually LOOK like torpedo and deck gun holes. Get that here: http://hosted.filefront.com/OceanBlue

I also suggest getting the RealweatherFix2 Mod that seems to help a little with "weather issues" the game gets (Make sure to follow the instructions before installing it)

Also, Don't ship out without Silent Hunter III Commander (If you use GWX, make sure you read the manual part pertaining to SHIII Commander)

I suggest updating the game to version 1.4 and playing it stock without mods for a little while first so you can REALLY see the difference that these mods and addons make but keep these links handy !!

Actually you are incorrect, Blacklight. Gameshadow does indeed have GWX 2.0 available as a single large download.

It's about time they updated their version. For the LONGEST time they only had the original non-updated version.
I still think getting it from the site I posted is a better option because all the files you need plus the SHIII Commander data update file are all there in the same place.
But installing GWX 2.0 through Gameshadow is easier than downloading multiple files and then running the install. *shrug*

LOL! Umm yessirrrr. *psst! The site you posted is our home page... where I went to retreive the GameShadow link from the download links section. *

Click below me sig. It will take you there. GameShadow has had the correct version for over six weeks now. Currently, GameShadow is the only location where you can DL all the core GWX 2.0 files in one go from one link.

Simplicity is golden when it comes to user support.
