Hi Oscar19681,

I don't know anything about this error message, but i bought the game at Livegamer.nl without problems.

The u-boat missions can be bought at Wehkamp.nl: http://www.wehkamp.nl/Winkelen/Kenme...ybTCjC7wEwybwL
I hope this will help you a bit.

Well, the livegamer link is to an older version it seems. Pre-1.5 judging by the boxcover and that EAN number. The Wehkamp link seems to be the right edition (Uboat expansion), but has a significant delivery time. (4 weeks) Oh well, good training for a patrol-duration I suppose.

The livegamer version is indeed the 1.4 version game.
The Wehkamp is the 1.5 version expansion, so the 1.4 game is required to be able to run this.

Yeah, I've searched high and low for the Gold edition as well, but it's not to be found. No other solution than to order the standalone and expansion individually, or order abroad. Games are so fricking expensive over here, it's usually cheaper to order in UK and have it shipped.

Heck, it would be cheaper for me to order my PC components in US and have them shipped halfway around the Earth than buy in NL.

SH4 UBM seems hard to get here in the Netherlands lately. I bought mine about a year ago at bol.com, but it's sold out there now.
I'd try sites like ebay. There seems to be a few good offers out there. SH4 UBM for about €12,- from a seller with 99,5% positive feedback sounds good. It only has to come all the way from Thailand so it could take a while I guess...

I bought Gold from Amazon.de (Germany), used, for £20 two months ago. DVD, not a download. It works fine, Vista, I'm now mid 1943 with a tally of 650,000 tonnes, so many medals I could slate the roof!

Well i found a copy of silent hunter gold in canada and they do seem to ship it to the netherlands and ordered it. I just hope that i dont have any problems with the fact that it comes from canada and that i might noy be able to play it on my pc for some reason. Unlikly but you never know. I am however curious what the reason might be to restrict someone from the netherlands to buy a download version of the game. Awkard to say at least.

Ah yeah we seem to have a monopoly of being the most expensive country in europe. For example i ordered Arma 2 for 32 euro,s on play.com which is located in the uk with free delivery. I would pay 50 euro,s for it buying it in a gamestore here in the Netherlands.
