Onkel returns to Silent Hunter III

Onkel Neal · 11-03-22, 05:02 PM

Wow, nice feedback! I really appreciate that, I feel like a newbie! Well, I guess I kinda am a newbie, so your direction is gold.

So, I want to load GWX 3 and play a few missions with that, then I want to switch to fifi's NYGM as suggested and play a career.

I have Steam SH3 running fine on my programs86 directory, so I will attempt to install GWX 3 on that version.

Sadly, before I broke the SH3 on my D: drive, it was running GWX, just in a small window.

After that, definitely fifi all the way.

Onkel Neal! I returned to SH3 with NYGM FiFi version and it is a must have.

Immersion secured.

I have my old DVD SH3, working very fine on W11, with W7 compatibility.

The game is a legend.

Good hunt!

Many on the forum say:
That you have SH3 installed in C:\Program files ... or C:\Program files (x86) ... which is NOT where you want to have it installed.... EVER.

Installing your SH3 here... is asking for loads of trouble, as Windows, will NOT allow for changes to be made to anything installed in those areas... EVEN if you tell it that such changes CAN be done.

Yes, Todd told me the same.

You know how you hate to mess with something after you finally got it to work? I wanted to install a second copy of SH3 on my D: drive, but I could not find a way to do it. I tried moving my installation from C:program86... and it moved it, alright, it's no longer on my C: at all.

And of course, the program wouldn't run again. Gave me a chance to try out my Steam fix and it worked, now I have it running on D: not in Programs86

So, it shows the version as 1.4, that's the latest version right? Ready to install GWX 3?

Roger that. 1.4 is correct.

GWX goes on top of that. Additional mods after that via JSGME.

Hi Onkel if you are using GWX and other mods for further enancement you will need JSGME mod enabler and also the 4Gig Patch
also dont forget the Commandercfg from GWX Site or Jimbuna's GWX Knight Cross Edition Chief of the Boat Logo

Best wishes to you, Onkel!

I'm currently running a VIIB career in Onealex 1.52 and a IXC career in NYGM Enhanced Hardcore. Both are really nice and will automatically take you to 1920x1080 without needing to manually install and configure DGUI or similar widescreen mod.

I don't use the Steam version, but a Ubisoft DVD version as my base install for NYGM. Unnecessary with Onealex, as the needed files are all included.

SH3 onealex modpack - best SH3 version so far.
