Finally Able To Play SHIII Again!

I can't use it because the game file path it looks for does not match my game path, and I can't figure out how to change it.

The first "page" in the Options box, the area circled in red. Use the "..." button to browse to your game folder, or to the one for the version of the game you want Commander to launch (if you have more than one installation).

I meant Timetravellers crush depth mod. When I activate it, it comes up with a box showing a game path that does not match mine, and terminates itself.

Hmmmmmmmm, that's weird HW3. It found where I have SHIII installed, D:\Games\Ubisoft\SH3 with no trouble.

When installing, you may have to manually enter the path for it to follow? Just got up, and on the first cup o' go juice. (Coffee)

What I can't remember is where the torpedo, and weapons renown values are stored. I got used to SH4, and have forgotten a lot of stuff.

Simply use a text editor (such as notepad) and open the 'SH3\data\Cfg\basic.cfg' file. Once there do a Ctrl-F down to the '[TORPEDO_TYPE0]' section and you'll find the renown values listed in the bottom line of each torpedo type. The same holds true for the other weapons as well (also in the same file). Have fun and happy modding!

I feel like such a rube! Thanks again FITW!

Feels like I got SH3 senility or something. All this stuff I could find in heartbeat before. It's like learning everything all over again!

Look into registry - maybe there's an obsolete entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter III]
InstalledPath=C:\SilentHunterIII\ <- change it to your game path
Path=C:\SilentHunterIII\sh3.exe <- change it to your game path
