Isitol , je SUIS Francais !

J 'habite en Angleterre .

Il y a 6 mois , j 'avais la meme carte que toi . Apres avoir installe les pilotes d 'origine (ceux de la carte) je n 'ai JAMAIS deinstalle les pilote avant d 'en installe de plus recent .

Le bon truc avec les pilotes NVidia , c 'est que tu n 'as pas besoin d 'enlever quoi que ce soit , tu installes les plus recent pilotes PAR DESSUS ceux que tu as .

Aussi simple que ca

Salut et a+

Cheers .

Hi.
I just discovered the this mind boggling game and have not been able to do or think of anything else ever since...
After a hunt for interesting mods, I found out about Improved U-boat and downloaded it (v1.02). The problem being that after I install it (using JSGME) on a clean 1.4b version of the game, it's no longer possible to start it (i.e the game freezes about halfway through loading). After an ALT+TAB I noticed an error message saying "there is a new (not implemented) page : <Page Ingame Options> !" followed by "Menu ID not found : 0x1a000008"

I tried removing the mod and putting it back again, but no change occured... FYI I use windows 2000 SP4 and have an ATI X800 XL graphics card, also most my drivers are up to date.
I did find a thread mentionning this problem but it was quite old and not for the same mod (and gave no anwsers obviously ).

Anyone know what's wrong?
Please help, my entire life depends on this game (with the IuB mod) !!!§11!1

I have annoying problem: when any mission is loaded and begins, help screen appears and i cannot remove it.
(sorry bout my english, it is not my native lang...)

I REPAIR pc's for a living. You can't just plug in extra memory wherever there's an open slot. Some motherboards require you to stagger the memory sticks. That said, I want to thank you all because I've had the SAME problem .....new system...Pentium 4 3.2 Mhz, !GB Ram and a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB. And went round and round with ATI and after reading this thread, updated my soundblaster LIVE driver from the windows default, and now everything's ok.

I never would have thought...Thanks again!

Ok, heres a good one.

Yesterday, I had SHIII v1.4b and RUB loaded and running fine.

I then download and installed SHIII Commander and NYGM RUB Campaign mod RUB version.

Everything runs fine as far as I can see but now I do not get any sound from any crew members and no sound of launching torpedos.

I installed SHIII Commander within the SHIII directory.

Any suggestions?

Anyone ever see this before....

After attempting a re-install, I'm getting this error message...


"Unhandled Exception.
Error #: 0x80040706
Description: Object reference not set
Set up will now terminate."

I'm waiting for a response from UBI, but I bet you guys are faster.

Just in case this happens to anyone else, here was the answer to the problem. For SH3, or any other game.

RUB, NYGM and Grey Wolves all have that change, or you can go directly to Silent Hunter III/Data/Submarine. The Cfg file for each submarine type has a line labeled Storm Conditions. It should say 7, which means that at 7 m/s winds you can't use the deck gun. Just change it to 11 or 12, or the max of 15, and you'll be able to use the gun in higher winds and waves.
