reinstall of sh3 failing - Page 2

Plumber1 · 01-22-15, 06:27 PM

I've had SH3 installed previously but have uninstalled iot mod with GWX and SH3 Commander however, once all remnants have been removed (not a starfire issue as I've run the removal tool) and a new installation completed iaw the sticky here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...11&postcount=3 . I patch to 1.4 successfully and then have to over-wright the 5 rld-sh14 folders manually as it says "the program can't start because the drawlib.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." The file in question is right there in the program folder!

I've manually uploaded the 5 files into the sh3 directory however when I try to run the game I still get the error screen about "this application can be launched within a release version..." etc.

I don't understand why this is as I've had the game installed previously with no issues. It's not a mod issue as I haven't even got as far as installing them yet.

Can anyone please help?
