Default LIVING SILENT HUNTER III EDITION 2015 - News & Download

Hi All

Ive recently been playing silent hunter 3 after giving it a rest for a few years.

Ive decided to go with the living mod.

I have came across a few issues that i have noticed whilst playing the game with the commander mod.

1. not able to find an ships on the map throughout the Atlantic or north sea.
I have looked everywhere to find a enemy ship but have not spotted one.

2. When sending a contact report i get a reply from BDU but the message is empty. also i never seem to get any other reports from BDU about other activities that are going on in the seas.

I have now done the following.

1. uninstall the game.
2. deleted all saved files and configurations
3. installed game
4. install dvd 1.4b patch.
5. install living mod
6. installed LSH3_2015_FULLVERSION, LSH3 GUI WIDESCREEN & PATCH HSIE.

I have noticed by only installing the bear minimum the issue still exists.

Can someone please advise me were i am going wrong and what mods i need to install for theses issues to be resolved.

thanks

Which "living mod" do you refer to there?
The mod that you install in "6" _IS_ the latest released version.

Redo steps from 1, but leave out 5.

Report in when done.

Do as I said and leave out that described step.

You should be fine then
Thanks for your reply.


step 6 is included in step 5, so how can i install step 6 without installing step 5?

:-)

I have reinstalled sh3 and installed the SHIII living mod 2015. I have also installed the following mods. ( please see attached)

I have noticed when I install the Thomsen sound pack 3.2 I get a blank reply from BDU when sending them a status report. It seems like this mod is conflicting with LSHIII?

Is this mod compatible with the Living SHIII?

Should I install these mods in some sort of order?

Hi sturulez
From my experience Thomsen sound pack is not compatible with LSH3-2015.
I noticed that in my test mission Eprobungstelle flotilla my base was in Stralsund but my boat was in the Pacific Ocean thousands of miles away.
Removed the mod and I was in Stralsund, all ok.

Hi Eric

Also, you can only pseudo-dock at U-tankers, not at surface tankers (e.g. Brake)
According to the LSH3-2015 HSIE instructions on page 7 you can.
If you want it to work with surface tankers then you need to rename Brake to U-Brake in the campaign files.

Hi,
You are right, but pseudo-docking (even at milkow ocean u-boats) works nowhere in LSH2015 (and only in LSH2015 at my home)

Hi Theberbster,

Thanks for your advice the radio log works fine, the only other issue i have is in career mode. Selected the year and flotilla in the commander start and made sure they matched what i selected in the game.

I have noticed there is no ships at sea, none in my dock and none in the English channel. Can not find one!!!

Is this a bug that i have came across, if so is there a fix for it or a solution?

thanks

Hi sturulez
Adding unrecognized mods to your game may be the cause of your game problems.
This mega mod is not designed to have mods added to it unless they are mentioned in the instructions or hsie instructions.
Ahnenerbe WideGUI 1920x1080 Final is compatible up to a point with LSH3-2015 but needs to be added after transferring from the Eprobungstelle.

I have not come across any problems with this mega mod too date after many missions and game saves.
I thought I read somewhere that the single missions could not be used, but I cannot remember where I saw it.

Hi THEBERBSTER,

I have re-installed the game and used ONLY the supplied MODS that came with the package.

I have setup another career in the Commander START. But still unable to see any boats. Have looked everywhere.

I think it was with GWX when you started a mission in the docks you would always see some sort of activity. I have found nothing. Went through the English channel and couldn't see a soul.

I have loaded the game and played some of the single player missions and they work fine, Radio logs and enemy ships.

I am really baffled to why it is not working.

Any clues?

Regards

Hi sturulez
When you have installed the game.
You can only start with 2 mods maximum enabled.
1.The main LSH3 mod
2. The GUI widescreen mod.
Select a career name in Commander or your own.
Check the U-Boat type being offered if it is not a VIIB there is a drop down box where you can make the change.
Options can be changed in the main menu if you want to change your language etc.
You must then enter the Naval Academy in order for your save games folder to appear in your documents which will show as V15.
When you exit the game you can then add your additional mods.
Always start the game through Commander.
You can make any changes here to your settings.
With your new career when the game loads to the office do not make any changes but just click on the map as you need to do a test mission for all new boats in the Eprobungstelle flotilla.
When completed click on the documents on the desk and you can give out any promotions etc.
Click on the telephone and transfer to the 2nd flotilla in Wilhelmshaven.
When accepted you can then exit the game.
If you are going to have a realistic career then only enable it when starting a new mission and then untick the box the next time you start Commander before starting the game in the same mission.

The game works well and offers many ways to play your game at different skill levels.
Peter
