Problems
 

Hi guys, you will be getting sick of me now posting but I have run into a problem. I have tried downloading the grey wolves gold patch and it wont install. I have tried downloading the 2015 version and that also wont install. I have tried looking for the silent hunter 3 patch to 1.4b and cant find that either. I have spent around 4 hours downloading these two mods and looking at how to install them and no luck at all. If anyone can guide me in the right direction please do. By the way I am no IT geek I just like to play, so if anyone can provide me with simple instructions I would be most grateful. Thanks.

Hi guys, yes its me again. Now the subject of mods, because I play SH3 direct through uplay I'm now getting to understand that I cannot use mods, is this correct. I guess I wasted my money on purchasing the game direct through UBI and not buying the CD. Oh well onwards and upwards.

Hi guys hopefully someone can help? I have the SH3 dvd trying to install and installshield is coming up with a box asking if I want to repair modify or something else and when I click an option the install closes. I have been trying to install it for weeks now and its getting quite frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

hi there jimmyc_1

sounds like you still have SH3 Files from a previous install ensure theres no SH3 files on your computer also any SH3 Mods you have unpacked including the Commander Mod even the SH3 folder in your documents folder if that has your campaign career Campaign save copy it to a usb stick then delete it now reinstall SH3 all should be fine run SH3 then it will make a new SH3 folder in your documents for your Campaign
reinstall the Commander Mod
then just delete the new one and replace with SH3 folder on usb stick with your career save on and your good to go
please let me how you get on

Adding to the above: You should also clean out your registry files to ensure all traces of a previous install are eradicated.

Donations
 

Can anyone tell me how to make a donation using a VISA Credit Card and NOT Paypal? Paypal won't let me use their service as I live in a 3d World Basket Case Country. I just love SH3. Am looking forward to Wolves of The Kaiser.:Kaleun_Salute:

welcome aboard!
 

Hello all, I recently picked up SH3 on steam during the winter sale and done a few of the training scenarios. Now I want to add some mods. I've followed the "steam conversion" instructions by BL!ITZKR!EG. Would the new folder I made for the game files be where I put JSGME to activate mods?

If I understand you correctly, "yes". JSGME goes in the "root" of you game's directory (folder). ie: "C:\ Games \ Ubisoft \ Silent Hunter 3 ..." (hopefully, you are not still in a Program Files type directory). Once you run JSGME the first time, it will create a "MODS" folder, such that you'll have "C:\ Games \ Ubisoft \ Silent Hunter 3 \ MODS (along with Data and other folders). That MODS folder is where you put the mod(s) that you're going to use.

Torpedo Problem
 

Hi, i've recently started playing the modded version of SH111. The problem i'm having is that after i've used my 3 torpedoes the 2 spare are not reloading, this is frustrating. Any ideas?

Welcome abroad
You have to drag them to an empty slot to reload
Make sure the crew is rested otherwise they wont work to reload the tubes

Use SH3 Commander to avoid crew fatigue

torpedo reload
 

Press "I" to bring up the ammunition load out screen. Type II u-boats should begin with torps in 1, 2, & 3 and two additional reloads.

Is auto reload, in the top left hand corner, checked? If yes, the additional reloads should automatically load assuming you have enough sailors in the forward torpedo room.

If unchecked, you must manually click and drag them to a torpedo tube.

Depending on your realism setting and the number of crew in torpedo room, it can take a bit of time for the torpedo to actually move. You'll be able to see the status as it is being moved.

Some or all of this, you may already know but I hope this is helpful.

Identifying Ships to Sink
 

Howdy. I'm pretty new and have gotten a hold of most of the game's mechanics so far but one thing I'm having a problem with is knowing what ships I'm actually allowed to sink.

Do I just have to look up online what nations were at war with who at the time? Is there a way in game to know?

Hi Sugardust and welcom to subsim :Kaleun_Salute:
you play with stock game or modded?
If modded ,which your mod list?
in the stock game when you go to the navigation map the enemy ships are colored in red
