This error I get with the addon is Starfoce isnt it? But I cannot find it in my hidden devices and the removal tool said It couldn't find it either.

I believe this may be the "add-on" referred to here:

Looks like it caused quite a bit of contention due to issues of other people's work being stolen and sold by a third party as an expansion for SH3... consensus seems to be that you're better off avoiding it and using one of the free supermods available here if you want to expand or enhance the stock game.

and good hunting on your mission,

Thank you, you guys are very helpful and nice. Does this GWX3 Gold include any new boats/subs or missions?

From the manual:

Stock Silent Hunter III allows players to join a historical U-boat flotilla during their migration from Germany to Occupied France, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific, and the final retreat to Germany and Norway as the Allies close in. GWX adds several historical flotillas and theaters of operation:

• The 10th Flotilla in the Indian Ocean
• The 13th Flotilla in Norway
• The 23rd Flotilla in Greece
• The 30th Flotilla in the Black Sea

GWX also augments the operational activity of two flotillas in areas where they operated historically:

• Patrols by the 11th Flotilla around Britain
• Patrols by the 12th Flotilla in the South Atlantic

GWX U-boat Flotillas, locations, and default U-boat types for new careers (availability of type will depend on in-game date):

1
9/39 – 5/41, Kiel; 6/41 – 8/44, Brest
IIA, IID, VIIB, VIIC, VIIC/41, VIIC/42

2
9/39 – 8/40, Wilhelmsaven; 9/40 – 8/44, Lorient

It also adds far too many additional missions and campaign enhancements to list here, including historical convoy routes and naval operations in the Atlantic, Med, etc.

Thanks again, you guys are great. I wanted to play the U-Boat addon but if its not supported then I wont play it.

There is another add-on called - Seawolves: Submarines on Hunt


Do you guys support this? Or does it also include stolen work?


Thanks

when you mention stolen work,

[frau kaleun]

AFAIK there has never been an official add-on for SH3.

There's the stock game + patches put out by Ubisoft, and that's it as far as official, licensed product which can be legally sold for profit by those who have the right to do so. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Anything else would fall under the category of an unofficial mod, and there are plenty of those available for free without giving money to a third party who may already be on shaky legal ground even if they didn't steal what they're selling from someone else who did the work for fun and not for profit.

Regarding Submarines On Hunt, see here:
