I have had issues installing various mods as well the h.sie patcher, needless to say I got them all working in the end with the Steam version.
I want to try SH3 Front end and Multi Sh3, I am not sure if these work with the Steam version however before doing this I have decided that it would probably be best to do a fresh install considering this install is well over a year old and has had multiple different mod set ups. I also have upgraded to a SSD so my current install is also a clone from my old HDD.
So for that cheap price I thought I would get a fresh install (Steam Free) and save me some time and possibly avoid some of the issues I ran into last time.
I have used Steam for years, have many games on there and are very happy with the service hence that's why I bought my copy from there in the first place.
It does seem that others have had issues also and others not.
I bought a copy from the Ubi store, they sent me a email with my game code and a link to the SH3 installer. I have installed this install to my games folder not in Program files or program files x86, it all seemed to go well but at the end of the install it wanted to install some other software to auto update the game to 1.4.
I thought Id just patch the game manually, at that point I just booted the game up to see if it would work all loaded up ok and to my surprise on the title screen it says 1.4 on the bottom right hand corner.
I also right clicked on the SH3.exe in the new directory and on the properties tab it says file version 1.4.0.1 and after some googling that is the latest Ubisoft version 1.4b.
So it seems the install automatically installed the latest version.
Cheers all
