'No way she said'.....
OK, that's strange...no manual, no map, no CODE......

When I got home I tried to get my new copy to work....but my constant tweaking of SH III had left my install so warped that it could not be unistalled in the normal way...

I couldn't reinstall the game either because of leftover in the registry, even after cleaning it.

So, a complete reinstall of XP was my best option.

After installing my brand new Silent Hunter 3 I find:

1) no Starforce
2) no need for the dvd to be in the drive
3) already patched to 1.4

Hi,
Is your copy by Intertoys in English? The web site is not. Cheers MarkL

The game is in English alright, I have a stock 1.4 and a GWX installment....both work exactly the same as my other out-of-the box SH without the need for patching or a dvd.....

You wouldn't know the difference....

I guess it is some kind of benelux/french release because the text on the box is in Dutch and French....while the original release come in a Dutch-only box..

I'm sure more of these will appear.....demand for SH III will be up because of the buzz generated by SHIV....and UBI will gladly put some more DVD's on the market...
