Hello folks,
I got a rather nasty problem with this mod.
The game crashes every time I try to open a saved career mission.
I tried loading with only the main mod enabled and I even got into the game, only to crash back to the desktop in one second.
Also, when I try to start a regular mission, there is a very high chance that it will CTB. I had, despite the main mod, a different water mod and sound mod installed. What could cause that problem?

But I think Living Silent Hunter is dead to me.
The game crashes about 60% of the time I try to start a mission and i cannot load saved missions. I created a fresh carrer, saved mid patrol, wanted to load it and I crash to the desktop. But this is something for the Living Silent Hunter thread.
Maybe this is because you have a slow computer ? It happens to me too with supermods. There are so many ships to spawn that my game crashes all the time. I know this is because of too many ships, because when I make a campaign file blank (RND or SCR), the game loads without problem.



Maybe you could change to NYGM. I didn't try it, but I hear good things about it : it would be less eye candy, but more realism (although eyecandy is also realism in a way ! ) . Have a try.

Good luck.

Hi cookiemonste,

without information about your system and your modlist no one can help you. It may be better if you post your problem on https://www.designmodproject.de/foru...ter-collection.

Hi cm
Sounds like you have a Windows OS problem.
SH3 does not like Windows 10 so you need to run in compatibility mode for Windows 7.
You also need to run your SH3.exe, SH3Commander and JSGME.exe in administrator modes.
Look at my tutorials and make sure that you have followed the installing and the advice that I am giving.
At the moment you are not showing me any reason why you cannot play LSH3-2015 successfully with a little help.
It would be useful to see you computer specs.
Peter

Hi PS
I also replied to your first post as below.
It sounds like your game installation is not patched to the latest version.
Hover your mouse over the the SH3.exe in the main game folder.
It should show File version: 1.4.0.1
See LSH3-2015 Tutorial 3 picture 8.

I can't get this to work with the Uplay version of SH3. I've made the folder named to SH3LSH15 and it's located in G:\Ubisoft\SH3LSH15

On running the LSH15 installer it tells me "No valid SH3.EXE found!"

I've followed every tutorial I can find but haven't had any luck.

LSH3 Installation with Uplay, Amazon and Steam

1. Create a new folder. Example: G:\Games.

2. Search the original SH3 Game. Normally you can find it in a subfolder of Uplay, Amazon or Steam. The SH3 original game folder is usually "Silent Hunter 3" (or "Silent Hunter III", depending on the provider). In this folder must be a file called sh3.exe.

3. Copy the complete folder into G:\Games. The SH3-copy is then under G:\Game\Silent Hunter 3 or Silent Hunter III.

4. Remove the spaces in the folder name "Silent Hunter 3" or "Silent Hunter III". The location is then G:\Game\SilentHunter3 or SilentHunterIII.

5. Now you can install LSH3 Edition 2015.

This is a translation of Urmels german manual. You can found it here https://www.designmodproject.de/foru...e-spielversion

Hi!

I'm having the exact same problem when installing LSH3 2015 on Uplay version.

"No valid SH3.exe found!"

So far I've reinstalled the game more than 3 times (in various paths eg. C:/games/SH3 ...), along with registry clearing, ran as admin in compatibility for Win 7, unchecked read only options etc... Tried all I could find in various tutorials online. I also couldn't get any unofficial patch versions running some time ago.

After snooping around in a file I found it strange in SH3.exe Certificate details it says it was last signed by Ubisoft on July 12th 2016. Maybe LSH 2015 installer is set to recognize older version of SH3.exe? Shooting blanks here since I've tried everything to get this thing running.

Yeah, System Information would be usefull.
Here we go:
Video card: Something from Nvidia with 2 GB RAM.

@Kendras what is NYGM?

I hope this helps.

But I am pretty sure it is a RAM problem. Went through the thread and read something with "12GB minimum Ram required"

Hallo cookiemonste

Wenn Du aus Hamburg bist ist es besser wenn ich auf deutsch Antworte.
Dein System ist ausreichend, versuche mal die SH3.exe im Kopmatibilitästmodus W7 auszuführen sowie als Administrator.

Wenn Du ein deutsches SH3/LSH Forum suchst empfehle ich Dir das DMP Forum.

Gruß JPB

Hallo,
Nun, ich hatte am Ende keine Lust mehr rumzuspielen.
Ich habe etliches versucht, unter anderem auch verschiedene Kompabilitätsmodi und die Adminsache, verschiedene Mods ausschalten etc.
Ich hab mir am Ende GWX runtergeladen und das läuft ohne Probleme. Ich werde aber nochmal rumprobieren, ich habe mir zum Glück den "sauberen" Ordner kopiert und hab dne in Reserve.

Ins Spiel rein komme ich ja, aber wenn es läft, stürzt es ab.
Edit: GWX stürzt auch in regelmäßigen Abständen ab. Irgendwas stimmt da nicht.
Even with other mods, the game crashes regularly, something is fishy.

I got another question.
The other day I got a radiomessage saying that I could resupply at certain points on the ocean. How can you resupply while on patrol? Or is that just eyecandy?
