Multiple SH3 Commander installation

ridgewayranger · 01-29-14, 11:11 AM

Hi All,
I know it can be done, I once had 4 installations at once, but now I have forgotten. All of mine seem to be pointing to the same setup, even though the paths are different. Can anyone help Please?

Quickest way is to give them all (the game installation exes) a different name so Commander can differentiate between them.

Ie: SH3, Silent Hunter, Silent Hunter Three, Silent Hunter Four.

I also have a separate Commander installation for each game installation.

SH3 Path in General settings in the SH3 options in SH3Commander. If it still keeps the same setting then I suspect the shortcut for each SH3Commander instance is pointing to one particular instance.

If you have trouble with it, state what is in the "target" field and "start in" field of the shortcut to each instance of SH3Commander.

Re Multiple SH3 Commanders.
Thanks for replies. I had already done the things you suggested. I have 2 games installed, one as GWX, the other as Silent Hunter 3. The 2 Commander installations are on different drives, each target and start in being correct, but both career setups are identical. Whatever career I run on one appears on the other. There must be something glaringly obvious that I am missing. I'll take another look.
