Hi guys, yes its me again. Now the subject of mods, because I play SH3 direct through uplay I'm now getting to understand that I cannot use mods, is this correct. I guess I wasted my money on purchasing the game direct through UBI and not buying the CD. Oh well onwards and upwards.

Hi guys hopefully someone can help? I have the SH3 dvd trying to install and installshield is coming up with a box asking if I want to repair modify or something else and when I click an option the install closes. I have been trying to install it for weeks now and its getting quite frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

sounds like you still have SH3 Files from a previous install ensure theres no SH3 files on your computer also any SH3 Mods you have unpacked including the Commander Mod even the SH3 folder in your documents folder if that has your campaign career Campaign save copy it to a usb stick then delete it now reinstall SH3 all should be fine run SH3 then it will make a new SH3 folder in your documents for your Campaign
reinstall the Commander Mod
then just delete the new one and replace with SH3 folder on usb stick with your career save on and your good to go

Adding to the above: You should also clean out your registry files to ensure all traces of a previous install are eradicated.

Can anyone tell me how to make a donation using a VISA Credit Card and NOT Paypal? Paypal won't let me use their service as I live in a 3d World Basket Case Country. I just love SH3. Am looking forward to Wolves of The Kaiser.

Hello all, I recently picked up SH3 on steam during the winter sale and done a few of the training scenarios. Now I want to add some mods. I've followed the "steam conversion" instructions by BL!ITZKR!EG. Would the new folder I made for the game files be where I put JSGME to activate mods?

propbeanie · 01-04-18, 11:25 AM

If I understand you correctly, "yes". JSGME goes in the "root" of you game's directory (folder). ie: "C:\ Games \ Ubisoft \ Silent Hunter 3 ..." (hopefully, you are not still in a Program Files type directory). Once you run JSGME the first time, it will create a "MODS" folder, such that you'll have "C:\ Games \ Ubisoft \ Silent Hunter 3 \ MODS (along with Data and other folders). That MODS folder is where you put the mod(s) that you're going to use.

„Silent Hunter III Community Manual” is still valid?

I am at the end of February 1942 and I have radar now. Is it useful to detect both ships and aircraft? Does my enemy detect me any easier? What are the tips?

so radar is very useful. However, its waves the enemy is also able to detect. After tracking, it is good to mark the unit and turn off the radar. Use single scans.

Teimo Pielinen,

First off, welcome to Subsim.

The link provided only gives a screen shot of the hydrophone in game with the game paused. I see no way to have your sound played.

Could you also give the mods you are using, it may help.

Good hunting,
FUBAR295
