You need the noDVD patch. The old original disk had to be in the DVD tray to play the sim, so the noDVD patch was created to get around that requirement.

It'd be nice to get an error message asking for the disk!

You should do.

I did not get anything - but now I am cruising down the Keil Kanal, about to go under the first bridge - so I don't care any more! Which reminds me; when I first played SH3, probably before GWX, I distinctly remember seeing a vehicle cross that bridge as I approached. Never seen it since though. Nice touch I thought..

There is a truck that crosses the bridge that opens SouthWest of Brunsbuttel I believe. I'm using the mod GWX 3 Wilhemshafen, St Naz, Schluese and ztra ships V7 that BBW put out.

Welcome back. We missed you.

She-Wolf, I recently restarted in SHIII myself...isn't it great to get reacquainted with it?

She-Wolf · 09-27-13, 10:06 AM

YAY!! sorted. I suspished it was a Tages sort of thing. I think I did actually buy an updated disk (I have 2 disks of SH4 and SH5), and used that copy last time I installed SH3, and while making a cuppa, before coming back on here, a little light went 'ping!' in me head,reminding me of that, and I scurried up here to see if I could find it. I could not, but your helpful suggestions reminded me of the fix I tucked away many moons ago, so a simple transfer of the .dll's and exe etc have achieved the desired result. Hoooray!! Thank 'ee all! xx
