Newer version of SH3 come pre-patched. Check your Main Menu screen in the game, you'll probably see a 1.4 in the bottom right corner of the screen. If it reads 1.4 then you have the latest & last patch: 1.4b.

I think my copy is not a newer version because there is no 1.4 or any other thing or sign in the bottom right corner of the screen...

Then try looking in the main SH3 folder & see if you can find a .txt file that says Readme. If it's present this file should tell you which version that you have.

Find this file (C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Menu\en_help.tx t: unknown version.) in your install and delete it; then the patch will run.

So no one can help with the Win7 problem?
I really really want to play, especially the GWX gold! Im seriously considering going back to XP just because of this. Argh, this is quite frustrating, like I said Ive had no problems getting older games to run on Win7. |

When all else fails, the best course is to buy a new DVD of the game, patched to 1.4b and starforce free. I go for $9.99
It also does not require the DVD to be in the drive for the game to operate.

Yeah I have 1.4 showing up inside the game, so that's pretty much what I thought based on an ubi.com post located here: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...2/m/7261080164 I recently bought the SH2/SH3 Encore DVD combo version from Newegg (edited out link -- didnt realize it was taboo) Quote:

Fixed with Windows x64 (RC1)
I have SH3 working with Windows 7 x64...
I've spent several hours trying to get SH3 to work under Windows 7 x64 (Ultimate - build 7100). I'm not sure which version of the DVD I have; I bought it in June 2006 in the UK. It has the serial number on the disk, rather than the back of the manual, but installation hasn't asked for it. I have been getting a getting a crash in msvcr71.dll right after the red progress bar completed and before the main menu. I have tried both updating and removing the starforce drivers, but the programs tell me no SF drivers are installed. Anyway this is what I did: 1) Install the game by running setup.exe on the DVD normally (not as admin). I installed into D:\Games\SilentHunterIII; not sure if that's significant. I told it to also install the 'Direct X 9 codecs', which previously I had not; also not sure if that was significant. I cancelled when it was time to install the ubisoft updater utility (I forget its name now). 2) Install silent_hunter_3_dvd_1.4b_emea.exe as admin (right click > Run as Administrator). If you don't run as admin you will get the common complaint about de_menu.txt (and en_menu.txt) being an unknown version. 3) Install the No-CD patch. I saved the 5 files it replaced to a sub-folder of SH3, so I could restore in case I needed to. 4) Ran the game as admin. I have exited the game and I can also run it as 'me' (not admin) as well 5) Also: No need to use 'compatibility mode' on the shortcut or program properties - run it straight and not as admin. I hope this helps some others with similar systems and problems! Cheers, Andy
