[El Mariachi]

Thanks for the warm welcome and all the advice guys I'll be sure to check all of that out!

Coronas, whilst I'm born and bred in England, my mother's side of the family come from Asturias! My grandparents live in Mieres although my spanish is far from fluent at the moment

I'll go off and download the patch as per Dietrich's instructions Once I've completed my first career (or get blown out of the water), I'll have a look at installing some Mods...

Cheers,

El


EDIT:All of the mirrors I've tried from that link claim to upgrade my game to 1.3 instead of 1.4? Is this just a typo with the installer?

Welcome aboard Kaleun

Ignore the 1.3 error, it is an error that was never rectified by Ubisoft.

What you are getting in actual fact is patch 1.4.

Ah excellent, it looks like it's worked. Aside from a small graphical glitch which sometimes occurs with the navigation map when you look at it from the command room; it's a big improvement- for starters, the sonar guys actually do their job!


Yeah I'll probably play stock until the end of this career (just finished patrol 6 around Hartlepool in my Type IIA- most successful patrol yet with about 15,000 tonnage sunk consiting of two C2s and a coastal merchant). I'm gradually upping the realism (on 77% now) to help prep me for GWX which by the sounds of it, seems quite vicious.

Welcome aboard dude. Happy hunting..

Problem with SH3 is there is a never ending supply of entertainment from subsim and SH3 games....

[Cezbor]

Welcome, see you on the deck

[bookworm_020]

Welcome aboard!

Once you have learned the basics in the stock version of the game switch over to GWX. If you thought it was hard in the stock version, you will need counseling after GWX.

Good luck and Good hunting!

It's very good! Mieres is a nice town. Regards from Asturias (borracha y dinamitera)
