Thanks for all your work.

I am having trouble installing LSH3-2020. I have tried installing on a stock copy of SH3 I keep without success.

I then proceed to re-install SH3 (2005 Disc version) in a new location and patched it up, with no success.

I am attaching a screenshot of the installer message.

May I have your thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong?

Best wishes for a very merry Christmas.

Regards

I'm having the same problem here but can't seem to find the d3d.ini file, where should I be looking?
Thanks!

In your game's main install directory.

What is your install path ? if it is something like programfiles/ubisoft/silenthunter3 that is the problem. Make a folder outside of that path and install the game there.
I.e., C:\SH3
Also, are you saying you can't get the game even patched with the 1.4b patch ?

My os is Win 10.
My install path is D:\LSH3-2020.

I have tried to run the SH3 installation but I get a msg stating that SH3 is not compatible with Win10.

Looks like the star force message. Do a search how to remove it and also how to run SH3 on Windows 10.

Just out of curiousity... your plain, unmodded install of SH3... how do you have the folder for that install you did off the disk.?

It should be named SilentHunterIII or SilentHunter3 or SH3...

As John, said... make sure that folder is NOT in either \Program files

Or \Program files (x86)

When you run the installer for LSH3-2020, it will have you point it at your 'unmodded' plain jane install of SH3.... aptly named as I mentioned above.

(If I am NOT mistaken, it will then do the following...)

It will then copy those files from there, add in the needed files for LSH3, patch as needed, then drop it where you tell it to do so.

I told it at that point, to drop LSH3-2020, into C:\Games\SH3

&.. it did so.

Hope this info helps...

M. M.



Edit:

Just took a look at that snap shot you posted... that is a whole different ball game.

Do that search John mentioned of, about a work around for that protection... or google search 'theberbster subsim' (without the ' ' comma marks) they have a lot of info on SH3 & iirc, a tutorial about starforce removal, I think it was...

either that, or go to Ubi & grab a fresh downloadable copy of SH3... & follow what I mentioned above to do...

M. M.

Re-edit:

forget searching, here is there main page, just click the link for 'LSH3-2015', then scroll through the list of tutorials he has hot listed there & find the one/s, on starforce...

Default Original installation folder name

Hi mates,

please make sure your original SilentHunter3 installation folder is named Silent Hunter 3, SilentHunter3 or SilentHunterIII.
Otherwise the installer will not be able to verify your original installation.

The page before you get to the selection of the original installation folder gives this Information very clearly.
Please read the text in the installer carefully BEFORE you click the mouse button!

See first post of Urmel!

Regards
Blueduck

Hello submarine friends

I miss THEBERBSTER very much, because he could always clear up all problems.

For us as a German speaking team it is very difficult to understand, translate and then answer all posts accurately!

Please excuse our poor English>German>English translation.

Almost all the problems reported above are problems from people who have NOT read the LSH3-2020 manual!

It is definitely necessary to read the LSH3-2020-INSTALLATION manual and to follow all instructions during installation!

Anyone who does NOT do this is describing "errors" here which do not really exist.

Please read the LSH3-2020-INSTALLATION manual and the instructions during the LSH-2020 installation.

If you do everything correctly, everything will work!

Greetings from Urmel and Blueduck

LSH-2020 my Install i made a folder on my desktop called BLK40 copied and pasted a stock version of SH3 then I copied and pasted the LSH2020 download run the LSH2020 Install it asked me where my SH3 installation was then i clicked on the SilentHunterIII Folder it then asked me where i wanted to install it
LSH2020-CAREER it then creates the folder on drive C:/of same name(Not in Programe Files x86)then i made a second one called LSH2020-MULTIPLAYERMISSIONS
and all works well.

To play the Single/Multiplayer Missions you have to copy n paste them from the mod archive folder into your Mods folder then activate them through JSGME.


If your having problems installing with steam or the SH3 Starforce version send me a pm with your real name and postal address and ill get you squared away being one of Onkel Neals Mod Guru's line chiefs its my job to get you sorted and on the high seas


at Subsim the pride runs deep we look after our own Salute
