sh3 stuck on pause?
when I get to the opening screne on a mission in any catagory the screen in the controll room is on pause. I hit backspace bar and it still is on pause but moves ahead about one frame at a time. Think its in the disc? or am I just not doing something correctly. I can hit a command key at the same time I push the backspace bar and the scene changes properly, and if i keep hitting the bar it moves ahead frame by frame. Wonder if this has happened to anyone else.

That phenomenon happened a few years ago, and are certain that a file was probably wrong, so I had to re-install everything...

This is caused by a corruption of the main.cfg file in either the SH3 folder in My Documents or the main.cfg file in SilentHunterIII/data/Cfg. What usually happens is this section is missing in one of them.

Paste over both to be sure, overwriting when prompted and you should be good to go.
Failing that tis a new install I'm afraid.

Was it a mod that might have caused this?

No mod I know of causes it. I think it might happen when the game crashes as you are saving out of it. As I remember, that happened to me once several years back.

SH3 pause problem
Thanks for the scoop about fixing the SH3 pause problem. I located the data cfg folder as you mentioned, but when I opened the folder there is nothing in there. I was looking for a file where I could copy & paste the info that you posted previously. Is there another way to find that spot? Thanks for your help!
