Dear SH3 friends, take it easy
"Convoi_PQ17" and "Jeff-Groves", I don't know what's driving you to badmouth "LSH3 Edition 2020" so massively here. Are you fundamentally against SH3? Or are you just "ignorant"? Regarding the use of UBI SH3.EXE, there are facts: 1. as a starting point for V20 we use an original SH3.EXE (v.1.4b) which UBISOFT has published on UBI servers itself for about 12 years, free of charge and available worldwide. This fact alone shows that this SH3.EXE was released by UBI "for free disposal for all". (Unfortunately, after the big UBI website rebuild, the direct link can no longer be found today). These original UBI files have been freely available since 2006 and are still available today at GameCopyWorld https://gamecopyworld.com/games/pc_s...hunter_3.shtml. The fact that UBISOFT has not taken any action against the distribution of these files (under GCW) proves that there is probably no legal basis for this, because they are original UBI files released by UBI itself. The use of these files therefore does not in principle violate any application of these files. These are all facts and should first be taken note of by "Convoi_PQ17" and "Jeff-Groves"! 2. with V2020 installation this SH3.EXE is patched by HSIE/STIEBLER and then TYCHO. As far as I know, these patches are also freeware and are available for free use. The LSH3 Installation Edition 2020 simply uses all the possibilities to legally use the official UBI SH3.EXE. The free supermod version "LSH3 Edition 2020" is definitely legal and does not violate any restrictions or copyrights, neither by UBI nor by SUBSIM! Tell me what you think about it! Kind regards, Urmel Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

IF the files are free else where? Then I have no complaints.
It WOULD have been easier to copy the basic files from an installed clean version and reduced down load sizes. Your version also includes StarForce files which are proven to cause issues. I have no issues with the LSH Team. And do wish all of you the best but you should warn people that this IS a Full install that does NOT need a legal SH3 installed. I can provide proof of this fact if need be. You need a better programmer for installs. You should also get away from anything StarForce and or cracked for stable Game play! I still question WHY it was attempted to hide the fact it IS a cracked version of SH3?

Thanks Jeff
But you still don't understand the facts. It does not need SH3.EXE (with or without Starforce) to install V2020. So all your criticism here is not true! Please contact me by Skype Ariel_Urech if you want to know more Kind regards Urmel

We have a misunderstanding of sorts here that I hope You and I clear up through E-Mail.
You have been sent a message and I await your response. Maybe the facts as I can see them do not match your intent. That is what I hope We can talk about in a friendly way.

I also believe that corrected sh3.exe does not violate the requirements and restrictions . But the game should not be started without vanilla SH3 installed.

Dear Jeff
You are as right to me as any other SH3 friend, for 15 years. Every statement is important and I take everything personally! We are all working to keep Silent Hunter III alive for a few more years. SH3.EXE or not! Who is still discussing the old topic after 15 years? Let's all concentrate better on the preservation and expansion of our game! Greetings, A

Maybe a corrected SH3.exe and a few files.
But I installed the COMPLETE Game with NO Legal SH3 install whatsoever. Now maybe Ubi don't care about a couple files released. BUT send them a notice about this? I'm not so sure the French would surrender this time!

Back when GWX 3.0 was released. Like 2008?
We had a BIG talk about doing a copy install. You may remember systems were slow and HDD space was limited back then. Today I'd write an install that copied what I wanted from a legal install and be done with it! And the Download would be smaller and I'd not even come under suspicion. I'd not be putting core files that anyone could just get the whole Game for free.

Romania was the Studio.
UbiSoft was and as far as I know? Still French owned and controlled. UbiSoft is a French video game company headquartered in Montreuil with several development studios across the world. And I still know people that work for them to this day. Others I know have left.

Anvar, the first part of your statement is true, the second part is nonsense.
The game should be able to be started as it needs to be so that no game crashes happen. LSH3 2020 mods for all SH3 players, not just modding pros. Help us first to get one of your mods LSH3 ready. We will help you with that. After that we'll talk more. Greetings, U

Do not be sad!
I am also since 2006. And many friends are no longer there. Be proud of everything we all have achieved until today! Therefore, stop talking about SH3.EXE here - it's ridiculous! Urmel

Urmel,
I have offered my help to create an installer that DOES NOT include the complete SH3 base folder and files included in said folder. Doing that would remove any threat to you and the Team. I offer my help in Memory of a very Good friend.

At some point you should just stfu.
You don't want me going off on your screw ups and ripoffs to make a name for yourself. So find the exit door and see your way out of this thread.
