Old sailor returning to game

masterskop!

...after 17 years' 'silent running'!

There are difficulties with the old games on WIN 11 which I have avoided upgrading to since my WIN 7 machine died. Have you tried just getting a new compatible SHIII from Steam.?

Hi,

I have followed the onealex mod setup. Copied the 'menu' from the onealex english mod to the 'backup' folder in the russian modded version. Fired up the SH3.exe cmd with the properties were set right. Game fires up, but still crashes after loading goes to 100%. Any ideas?

Also, running XFX 7900 xtx 24gb card with the latest drivers. Do I need to setup a profile in the AMD software? Has anyone got SH3 to run on an AMD machine? Any help is appreciated.

Welcome back!

I almost deep six'd SH3. I couldn't get the Onealex mod to run. I found another mod called LSH3

. Lots of installing. Works!

Question. Can the mods from Onealex work in LSH3? I can experiment with the LSH3 to see. Any suggestions are always welcomed.

Question... is there a reason why Onealex doesn't work out of the box and LSH3 does? I think it has to do with the video portion of the mods. I'll have to dig into each mod to see what the main difference is. If anybody has this information and would like to share, please let me know. I really would like to know why the Onealex mod doesn't fire up and let me 'Torpedo Los'!

There's been a few reports of problems with the English version of OneAlex lately: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=255744
It seems to be a recent thing, as OneAlex always used to be a really easy install. I suspect our Ukrainian friend has made a mistake putting the latest English version of the mod together - has he missed off the 4Gb/HSie patch?

The other option is to try Fifi's NYGM enhanced steel coffin. Click on the link on this post https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...postcount=2456

The installation is a bit more involved, but I prefer NYGM because the escort sensors are more realistic (IMHO) and it is a lot harder than LSH.

Hi Hooston,

That makes sense. I'll have to take a look at that. I have a copy of the patch. Hopefully, that's the issue.

Thank you for the info!
