Please install SH3 anywhere else!

I've tried to install SH3 in other places as well and it's not working. Any ideas what's up with this? I'm running Windows 7 SP1 64bit.

thanks!
I don't remember the specific installation routine for LSH, but after installing SH3, I copied the directory to the root of the drive, ie. D:\SH3 and ran the app from there. Have you tried installing to the root, or copying the directory to a different location?

@chowderhead62

1. Two things you have not noticed in LSH3 Installation Manual:
The name of the folder "program files" no matter where it is always a system folder with restricted user rights and should not be used for games.
2. space in the folder or file name may or may not cause problems for programs with API functions from Windows Vista and up.
look MSN guidelines
Therefore, I have decided not to allow for programming of LSH3 starter, space in the name or path.

To take a picture you use CTRL+F11
I like to take a picture of my crew at the start of each new patrol, 50 + pictures.
I am just starting my 8th patrol. (1 ctd to date)
The problem is that the WO keeps saying "firing at will" each time the CTRL+F11 keys are pressed.
I have looked in the set keys application but cannot see if there is a way round this.
Any ideas?

Peter

Default Still Trying

I have followed the suggestions from Magic1111 & Blackswan40, to the best of my ability. Right clicking on game launcher says it's 1.4. I downloaded fix exc.; however, when I tried to extract to SH3, said could not do, so I dragged&dropped the individual files into SH3 after deleting old files with same name. Don't know if this would work!!??

So far, no matter what I do, this mod will not load into game, either with disc. files or Steam. It keeps saying "Sh3 must not be installed in this path. Please install anywhere else. Spaces not allowed in file name or path." So, my paths are mucked up!!!?? So I hope someone can tell me how to correct one of the following paths; 1). disc loaded; patched 1.4 is, C:\Program Files(x86)\Ubisoft\SilentHunter3.
2).Steam>ProgramFiles(x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\ SilentHunter3.

thanks in advance,

Mn:

Did you have read the LSH Install Guide very carefully?

http://www.lsh3.com/dl/v15/LSH3-EDIT...LLATION_EN.pdf

It is important, that you install the Main Game (not LSH) not in ...\ProgramFiles(x86)\...!!!!

Please use another Install Path, e.g. C:\Games\SilentHunter3, or what ever...but not ProgramFiles(x86)!!!

Best regards,
Magic

My Base is in Wilhelmshaven > Flotilla 2 > U-boat type IXB.
I am on my way to patrol grid BF48
I have had a radio message to say that there is a new base at Bordeaux.
This is 1000km from BF48
Do I still have to return to Wilhelmshaven?
If yes?
Can I transfer to Bordeaux?
Current date is July 5th 1940

@ Peter

You can normally sail to your Patrol grid, made the 24h in the grid, and continue the patrol as always.

But your new home base is now Bordeaux.

It means, at the ending of your current patrol you must now sail to Bordeaux and finish there your patrol.

Best regards,
Magic
