On their support website it says you need patch 1.4b When i click the link to go to the patch site they only have up to 1.3. also It wouldnt let me install that patch. how do I succesfully install these patches and mods?

Thank you

Welcome aboard orangehat44

Your game may already be patched to 1.4. There is a long standing typo which refers to 1.3 when it should actually say 1.4.

If you have d/l the exe and bin files, simply put them all into the same folder and click on the exe and point it to where steam has stored your game.

I don't use steam for GWX personally but in my installation (XP Pro) the default location is C\ProgramFiles\Ubisoft\GWX3.0

Welcome!

you can get the patch of the official site below

http://silenthunteriii.com/uk/updates.php

This is the UK/MIDDLE EAST/ASIA patch be sure to switch the site to the US one if you use the US version.

If your useing steam it "should" already be patched up to the latest build.

You are in for a real treat with GWX..
makes the stock game like a day on the lake in a dingy

Enjoy my friend

one more suggestion:
SH3Commander can be found in the download-section of the board. it adds convenience to your career and/or crew-management.
be sure to download the config-file for GWX as well.

and welcome to the board!

Kinda confused. allot of the sound files said they were corrupt for the install for GWX. Also How do I put sub commmander on with the gwx.

thanks for all the help guys.

I had a hard time finding the 1.4b patch also. I did not find it on the ubisoft site. Instead, I googled for it.

I would recommend only installing GWX3.0 for starters. It has lots of mods you can install by running JSGME (in the SHIII directory).

I love the open hatch and enhanced damage mods.

Okay I found the patch but it every time i try to run it it gives me some data/campaigns/campaign/campaign_lnd.mis is unknown version.

also when I try to install GWX. It will get a pretty far and be trying to extract the sound files I think and it gives an error. wont work.

grrr

SH3 Commander is its own program and installs itself to the Program Files folder. It works outside of the game and lets you control things.

@ Frau Kaleun: You've lost weight! I hardly recognized you!

Please do not forget MultiSH3 anyway. Even if it not only for testing....

@ Frau Kaleun: Congrats for your promotion...
