Hi

I know there is another closed thread for this game a few threads back...

The only crack avaliable for the game is the one for v1.0

The cracker, a great person, fixed three files and the StarForce was cured.

However, if you upgrade to v1.2 (I have Europe DVD Game), the StarForce protection spreads to more then those three file and well, weather you use the fixed v1.0 exes with v1.2 game, StarForce will be there.

I also used Star**** and StarNightmare to permenently disable my CD Drives, (Infact my whole Seconary IDE) and removed all virtual drive softwares (Alcohol, DAEMON etc), but StarForce lives and hurts more than ever.

I won't ask for a cracked file because there are going to be a lot of them, however, a MiniImage just m,ight work... (It worked with Panzers Phase ?)...

Are you sure about this? Oh well I'm sure some genius will be able to figure out which files were involved. Waiting with patience here :)

I don't know about subs but you must start a career and complete atleast one patrol!

Only then there will be a true Career.cfg file (not Career_0.cfg) in <type>\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\Doomer, where <type> is either game install folder on Win9x or "My Documents" on WinNT systems.

Once you complete a patrol #1, come back to base and quit game properly.
The file Career.cfg will be there. Scroll down or simply search "Renown" and modify the latest entry. There may be two or more...

I tried the same for sub and there upgrades... nothing but blimps...

Where is the best modd site for this game?

And yeah, no fixx for v1.2 and no mini-image either...

--> [Yellow.rar: DOWNLOAD (http://doomsoft.cjb.net/yellow.rar)] <--

Yellow!!

Okay, so was finally able to modify this game!! Well, it won’t say completely though but lets say around 15%!



Instruction

<Install>\ is the games installation directory which is “C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\” by default.

BACKUP your “<install>\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg” folder!!!

I have v1.0 of the game http://www.fileforums.com/images/smilies/frown.gif so my files may “hurt” your v1.1 or v1.2! If such is the case, you’ll have to do something that may hurt… modify you own files accordingly by using my files as guide.

Else, rename you “<install>\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg” folder to “Cfg OLD” and put my “Cfg” folder from the zip file to “<install>\SilentHunterIII\data\”

Also, backup “<install>\SilentHunterIII\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat9d2\ NSS_Uboat9d2.cfg” & then, put my “NSS_Uboat9d2.cfg” to “<install>\SilentHunterIII\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat9d2\” folder.


Read me Note that if you are in a career, this may not work…

You’ll need to start a new career and select the default setting: “1939, 1st Float”!!

Why 1939!? Because, you’ll have a smooth nice career from start as convoys would mostly be naked and even the deadliest warships would be fooled by simple sonar decoys. So not like 1943-44 where a simple fishing-boat will search you out and start pouring depth charges http://www.fileforums.com/images/smilies/mad.gif !!

Okay, you’ll have an IX-D2 submarine. Now, why this one, you may ask? Well, I personally like it as it is the second biggest U2 (the first one being the mammoth XXI!!)

You will have all upgrades unlocked and all torpedoes available including the deadly Type X and you’ll have 22000 of them to make sure you never run out of them throughout the career http://www.fileforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif !

You deck + AA gun(s) will have 99999 bullets of each type http://www.fileforums.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif !

I could have used the VII-C sub but I don’t like it but still it probably was the last “practical” sub.


Also, the XXI (XIX actually) is the biggest… really biggest U2 boat ever! BUT, it has issues…



It will fail to fit in side a hanger (or sub-pen) DUH!
It will lose its snorkel, radar, radar warning systems immediately as they’ll be touching the ceiling… DUH DUH!
It’s so huge that it will be suicide to take it on a regular Sunday drive as the depth under keel would be like 10 – 01 meters during the serious swimming from the base to open seas in regular patrols…
IT DOESN’T HAVE A DECK GUN!! DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH!
There are more issues…
The IX-D2 is a decent boat with good amounts of torpedoes and heavy deck gun + big AA + two small AA.

Also, I have another file called “NSS_Uboat9d2.cfg” that will increase the surfaced speed to a pleasant 30-40 Knots!!

Plus, with modification to an engine installed on the sub, you’ll be tearing the oceans @ 60-70 Knots!

I have not been able to increase the underwater speed though. Seems like, there are special rules to underwater conditions. There must be another file for that… I’ll keep looking.

Don’t increase speed more than this!! Strange accidents will happen. I was surfing @ 157 Knots and all of sudden my sub started to sink! Seems like the subs rocking and swinging values are directly tied to speed and not the ocean waves… So my boat dipped too much from the front into the water and whammed into the ocean bed @ 130 knots http://www.fileforums.com/images/smilies/eek.gif !

My officer said: “Sir! We have a f*cking cool swimming pool in the bow quarters! Oh wait, that’s bad right!? Akhtoom!!”

Lastly, the crews have been modified on global bases… no matter which career you start, the default crew will be a collection of elite’ men and (no women http://www.fileforums.com/images/smilies/confused.gif )!!

I would love to help people out with getting this thing to run from mini image if at all possible, but 1. i dont know how to create a working mini image, 2. starforce would simply look straight through it, 3. i would rather not create a full image just to bypass sf as i would not be able to distribute it to you guys.

20-04-2005, 23:23
hey MouseNo4 check your PMs

mini-images of StarForce haven't worked for some time. they added a content check to the protection to make sure all the data is there (same reason Securom MI's don't work), and it has been protected from full images for quite some time also by checking to see if the data is read from the hard drive at the same time while checking the cd/dvd.

they also have a StarForce activation key required to even start the game.

Hey!

I needed to share a few things with anyone who used my Yellow Mod and is interested in editing...

Torpedoes:
Speed + Range values
Can’t find .cfg File!
Possible file(s) : <install>\data\Library\Torpedo*

Weather:
Weather change algorithms
Want smooth calm weather all times
Kill the damn fog
Possible file(s) : <install>\data\Env\*.*

Deck Gun:
Ability to fire even in a tsunami!!
Possible file(s) : <install>\data\cfg\Basic.cfg

Crew:
Too Lazy!
Always getting tired no matter what I do!!
Remove the cursed fatigue factor completely!
Possible file(s) : <install>\data\cfg\Basic.cfg

Note:
While in a patrol, save your game if your crew is about to commit suicide. Go to you save folder (In XP/NT: My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\<Your Profile>\). Go to your patrol # (- 1) folder (Say you doing patrol #9 so the folder will be 8). Here you’ll see that with each save, you actually create 10 files! One of then would be “crew_config_<!>.cfg”, where <!> is your save name. Open this file in any text editor and change the Fatigue=?? To Fatigue=0 (where a "??" is you current Fatigue value) for every damn human here!!

It would be easy if you use a nice text editor like TextPad or something that would allow you to do a full replace. In the “Find What:” box, type “Fatigue=” (without quotes) and in the “Replace With:” box, type “Fatigue=0 ;” (without quotes). Note a “;” means a comment and game won’t read this value. So after doing such a replace, your fatigue for any person would change from “Fatigue=??” To “Fatigue=0; ??”! So the old value would be commented. Now load this file from the “Saved Careers” screen.

Be careful that you select the proper saved file! Note that the statistics would be wrong (if you are on v1.0)! If you kill ships before saving, the stats would say you sunk 0 ships but once the game is loaded, everything would be fine and the crew would screw… errr… feel fresh again!!

1. I reinstalled the game.

2. Patched to 1.2 (strange, the USA 1.2 patch give an error on a german .txt file, so I installed European DVD patch, and worked. I thought that I had the USA version..).

3. I Did exactly what reads on the .txt file.

4. Nothing. Tried everything. This "backdoor" does not open.

Any idea? :(

More info please. :)

Okay! Alright!!

Now there is some progress right there!!

The way your post reflects itself, svdkloes (member.php?u=79481), seems that this backdoor actually works for you!!

However, as it has been tested by almost everyone here, you are the only lucky person!

You call it "A Backdoor to StarForce". I may call it a glitch that you've exploited!

Because if it's a backdoor then I am recommending your name for the next Nobel Prize...

The registry file creates a lot of “HardwareProfile” entries. I am trying to go through them but that may take a lot of time. Seems like you are the only one with the upper edge here.

Also, its only "HKEY_CURRENT_". Is there other trees like "HKEY_LOCAL_" ?

Are you using Daemon or Alcohol? Their version #?

Do you have a writer(s)? How many physical CD/DVD drives?

Did you used SFNightmare and/or StarFu*ked? Did you disable your Drives?

I followed the instructions carefully and I’ve noticed something.

Firstly, no matter I hold Ctrl or not, if there is no MiniImage (Your MiniImage) mounted; there won't be an "Enter new CDKey" dialog. It will always show an "Error, Retry" dialog. I must mount your image and then and only then, holding Ctrl does its trick!

Secondly, I hade tried this on EUR v1.0 (No mod of any sort)

I have the patch file ready at hand but I won't apply to save myself from a re-install

Thanks a lot for your effort and you just might do this thing... Okay, so you just might not but I am still recommending you for that Nobel Prize!


Zillion & BITEME, the last Silent Hunter III thread was closed because people started to talk off-topic. I don't want that to happen again so please no more saying Thanks or complaining about wasting time.

Zillion, no offense but there was an attitude error in you recent post(s). Star Force is giving people nightmares and if someone thinks he/she is close to something... well it’s a hell-lot better then no news at all.

None of us can decide weather something is BS or not. We are all sick and tired of installing and re-installing the game over and over without luck.

Someone cracked v1.0 did he/she not?

The image was a small ~50KB dl and mounting it takes 2 seconds + 10 seconds for reading the read-me file and that’s it! How much time could it have wasted? Now, you must have had patched the game first didn’t you? Bad mistake...

From what I know StarForce was updated by patch 1.2. After that it not only checks the presence of the disc but also the file structure of the disc, meaning a mini image with nothing in it is not going to fool it.

And for those that want to start some personal name calling with me, use the messaging system. I'm not going to waste everyone's time reading some crap. :cool:

I have seen Mini Images of sizes like 5 MB, but once mounted, they show up as 4+GB DVD Images with all file of correct size (each file is still dummy)!

Would that fool?

You can have 4GB images archived to 5mb, the only thing in the image is file attributes and the protection, the rest are 0's. Which gives the effect of a full image.

And they have had these images for quite a while.

Before you call someone retarted, perhaps you should find out more about the subject at hand first.

Greetings from: Eindhoven, The Netherlands

There's something wrong with the procedure described in .txt file.
First of all, the procedure is not well described and leaves some important questions open. Second, the procedure says in step 2: "Run Silent Hunter 3, holding the Ctrl button, the screen will ask you for the CD-Key". When exactly to do this? Before Starforce is installed, or after? Before mounting an image, or after? With pirate DVD in drive or not? Because, this DOES NOT WORK until you mount the image, you can't enter the key unless the image is mounted first, and the step is before the step that says to mount an image... how is it possible?? It is simply impossible to follow the steps as they are. So, this step doesn't work until I mount the image, because the game says to insert the disc and doesn't even ask the key, with CTRL or without it.
So I had to mount the image. I did it with Daemon tools 3.47.
Only AFTER that I could start the game while holding the CTRL button. The Starforce dialog opened asking the key. The key was already there, the one merged into registry earlier. I erased it and entered the one in .txt file. It displays some error message, I exit, and then start the game again. Again, error - saying "Failed locating the product authorization information in the system registry. Verify the Disc Key entered or press the "Information" button to obtain a new Activation Key.".
Then I tried again, but this time I left the key that was merged into registry.
This time error said "Insert the Silent Hunter III PC DVD disc into another drive then press "Retry".".
So, obviously, this procedure doesn't work, at least on my computer...

I believe this system of fooling the Starforce should work, but all procedures that I've found on Internet are not describing it clearly. Can you please clarif y the exact steps so we can retry and hopefully, finally, start the game?

Thank you and thanks for the effort!

The MiniImage on GCW is exactly the one posted here earlier by the backdoor guy... thier size is same...

I think the "Key removed" is just another way to say that its not gonna work...

But I ain't not no losing no hope (and I don't know weather its a yes or a no!?)

What I did was: Patch SH3 to 1.2, then restart for the Copy Protection to let me start the game. I mounted the Mini-Image, entered the vaild key and it said, that I should "insert the Disc in another Drive". Ok used Starforce Nightmare to disable my Drives and tried again. (Mini-Image mounted from HD). This time I get an "Read Error". Tried to mount from external HD and that didnt work either.

DABhand
03-05-2005, 13:16
Oh god, lol

This is what he said.

"I had to let the protection acknowledge my serial first, then after that I have been using my mini-image mounted from my SATA HD, with daemon tools with RMPS enabled and closed."

5 Minutes later

"I forgot to tell you to make sure you rename all the default names daemon uses for bus names."


LOL as I said hey hum, thats what he said, I think most have tried this so I dunno.

I just purchase Silent Hunter 3. But I have a problem and the game work but the graphics sucks. I have the nvidia geforce 4 mx 4000, and for some reason the people are purple. Will anyone please help. Do I need a new VGA Card, or is there any patches that fix this?


Thanks...........

04-05-2005, 23:37
I think the partial purple people you're seeing are because you enabled the Dynamic Shadows option in SH3's main.cfg file. Turn it off, SH3 doesn't support that, even if the option is in there. I guess they didn't had time to make it work properly, so it's kinda bugged.

Silent Hunter uses hardware pixel shading which MX cards do not support. MX card no good for SH3.

Hi there.

My sonar petty-officer doesn't always hear the the ships. When I'm in timecompressed mode, it sometimes slow down to 8x time compression. I guess that's what happens when the sonar guy should detect a ship. My problem is, that the timecompression goes down to 8x, which it should, but my sonar guy doesn't detect anything, and when I surface, I can see a ship though the binoculars. Has anyone experienced this before? And what should I do to fix it?

Regards...

Hi bruun,

1. Check out if this occurs with your original CD, without the no-CD patch;

2. Check out the official game support forum/page/FAQ, to see if this is a known bug in the game.

Good luck,

Joe

Hi Joe.

Thx for your reply. I use the dvd, not a no-dvd crack. I've tried to log on to the UBI forums, but they seem to be down at the moment. Can my sonar problems be related to my realism settings which is at 100% ? I know that this will reduce the effieciency of the sonar, but I don't think it should disable it... ;o) I can elaborate on my problem by saying, that when I have a visual on a ship, and then ask my sonay officer for a report on the bearing on nearest target, then he constaltly says "no sonar contact". If I then try to use the sonar myself, then the ship is loud and clear. Perhaps this can cast a more clear light over my problem?

Regards...

I can only imagine what kind of research they were doing when they decided to go against the world...

All moderen weapons and arsenal today is only due to the German tech of the WW days...

Just pretend your self to be in a big well defended ship and you get a report of a possible UBoat....

Strangely, they came to a shamefull defeat...

And worst of all, that just when they made jets and extremely large Uboats and sound homing toredoes...

might as well wait for patch 1.3 coming soon now: here is what in it


Hello,
just found this over at the SH3 site - not official, though:

quote:

"NEXT UPDATE TO THE PATCH-FINAL README-

The FINAL ReadMe toPatch 1.3:

The patch will be released in a week by the way...

Silent Hunter III Patch 1.3

This new patch modifies game data and in this cases the saves that are made while in missions will not work properly. We highly recommend before installing this patch that "all the Captains should returned to bases" or to load a previous in base save (after install) in order to avoid eventual problems.

• Now external camera is linked to the U-boat using “,” and “.”
• New order for Chief Engineer - Periscope depth
• Torpedo tube ready message and voice is now active
• View to heading order implemented using key “-“
• Head to view order implemented using key “=”
• Fixes a bug where the oxygen was not replenished using snorkel
• Fixes some bugs to dials in command and sonar room that display wrong information
• A new advance plotting mode is available (thanks to Akifumi ”Jiim” Nojima)
• Fixed a bug to the waypoint plotting system
• The crush depth for all submarines has been corrected
• Submarine damage model has been improved
• Now Liverpool and Firth of Clyde are in the correct position
• T II torpedo range bas been corrected
• Type XXI torpedo loading speed had been corrected
• More radio messages from BdU had been added
• Escorts ASW attack methods have been improved
• Escorts spawning issue was solved. Now the convoys will be better protected.
• Navigation tutorial issue solved: there are no more sudden explosions on boats
• Gramophone issue was solved: it will be available now while the in-game music was switched OFF.
• Side of the detected ships is no longer revealed by radar or sonar
• UZO view by night was improved
• N-Vidia workaround was improved. First time when the user (with N-Vidia) uses UZO the spray bug will appear. If the user uses Ctrl+P that option will be stored in the main.cfg file and will not be necessary to switch off again that particle system (cause the main.cfg will be updated). The Ctrl+P now is linked only with the particle system from the sub so the other particles in the game will not be affected. When you will exit to free camera or any other view the particle system from the sub will be automatically restarted and the player will not have any issues related to it. After this the player can enter/exit UZO station without any other worries about Ctrl+P.
We didn't make this ON by default because there are the users of ATI cards that have no need of this workaround.
The N-Vidia users can also add in the main.cfg in video section, this line:
HideParticlesNearView=Yes;
• Un-checking the event camera in video settings now disables it regardless of the setting in the realism menu. The "no event camera" option in that menu is grayed out to reflect this.

Hi doomer.

I agree with you, the german war machine in the WW days were great! Don't get me wrong, I do NOT like the nazi intetions behind it, but the german technology was outstanding and the weapons of a very high quality. Just compare the tiger tanks against any other allied tank... And of course, the german had subs, which the allied didn't use to an extended degree. Many new inventions saw the light of day because of the german war machine. The autobahn is also a result of the war...

You have obviously bought into the German propaganda. Of course German tiger tanks had a very powerful main gun and was heavily armored. The drawbacks to that was the tanks speed, slowed down heavily by the armor. The engine broke down alot due to the performance required to transport the weight around. Heavy need for gasoline due to weight again. Everything about the tank required that it take a long time for the tank to actually be produced.

American tanks had their drawbacks also, mainly their light armor. Many American tanks were not meant to go up directly against heavy armored German tanks. They were mainly meant as infantry support vehicles.

Tank destroyers were meant for fighting the German tanks but the TD's were lightly armored and easily taken out. Nearing the end of the war, Americans began producing more heavily armored tanks to counter the common German tanks out on the line, such as the PIV.

Yes, many new inventions came from the war. Rocket Science, artificial oil, and many other advances in technology.

Also helped America get out of the depression.

Hi Ghost.

Since I didn't live when the seconds world war was raging, I couldn't be influenced by their propaganda ;o) I just stick to the historical facts that, for example, the Tiger Tank was the most successful piece of armor at the time. If you believe these sources are valid, then take a look at:

http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/tiger_tank.htm

or

http://www.worldwar2aces.com/tiger-tank/

Also, the german MG-42 is stil in use to this day, with some modifications of course, but the design simply was brilliant, this is fact not propaganda! Anyway, I think we should keep this thread open for inputs on Silent Hunter III, as the headline suggests... ;o)

I wasn't saying that all you said was wrong, I was just stating points that the tank is not what everyone believes. That is, it's not a fully invincible piece of machinery. I know about the MG42, it is a good weapon.

Ok, back to topic. Now that 1.3 is out, is it more complicated to crack now then 1.2?

still waiting to get the "mod"...Just read about your WWII posts... The inventions of that time were really great, only sad they were made to kill people. We still have to "pay" in all kind for the crimes of our forefathers.
Anyway, i`m not really into updateing games, will i have to install ALL updates to get 1.3 (1.1+1.2, then 1.3)?

I am fine with that, but what about installing the bugfix? Can i use 1.3 or do i have to start with 1.1? :confused:


EDIT
Pheew, just saw the countless bugs. after i read the reports, i decided not to install any patches. Well, at least not 1.3 It seems to me, there are more bugs in the game after updateing to 1.3 then before?! :eek: There are surely nice features, but its not worth to lose other essential features,like the WO or the SO...
By the way, my only trouble is, after ending the game my system likes to crash. Before i cleaned my pc, it crashed during the mission...thought i could fix it with a patch, but it seems to be a local error on my system.

what good does it do, to disable the real CD-ROM-drives?

Can I somehow create a valid image of my original DVD?

but hey, when I right-click on my virtual CD-ROM-drive and ask for properties he tells me that the mounted mini image has a real size of 60kb or so...

I think SH3 is a great game, and I'll put it next to my box of SH2.
But I'd like to have a 'star force not included' version.
Hehe.

And now my mind travels... Would this thing run with wine compatibility? hehe

however it doesn't solve starfarce presence on comp :p

Your right, the ones on eBay have been infected to, there has to be some SH3 copy’s somewhere that have been vaccinated against starplopshat.

the direct2drive versions of games have nothing to do with starforce and are slightly cheaper than retail.

I've just been informed (by a well informed source) that SH3 was never cracked at all. The downloadable Reloaded SH3 distribution is actually (supposedly) made from an unprotected release, meaning the data was somehow acquired before Starforce was applied.

Silent Hunter 3 and Splinter Cell 3 are both using the same, or very close, versions of Starforce. Both, are as of yet uncracked. It can be worked around via a USB 2.0 external drive (which I have personally confirmed), or (reportedly) using a driver to force your SATA controller to emulate an IDE controller, but those are the only workarounds I have heard more than three people confirm.

Earlier versions of Starforce were crackable, but the time it takes us to crack and the time it takes them to patch vulnerabilities are disproportunate. Physical disc protection is gone.... Starforce cometh..... Now the makers of Starforce have downloadable protections in which even DEMOs are being protected, so the demo .exe file can no longer be compared to the retail to snatch out the Starforce code. Starforce works VERY closely with the developers all along the way.

I'm a big time game buyer, I personally own 139 PC games & a gaming laptop (Alienware Area 51m-7700). I like to use mini-images & NO-CD cracks as it keeps me from having to take all my originals in my case with me. Sure as hell, the only physical discs I have to take, ever, are Starforce protected. As a programmer, and a mathematical & encryption hobbyist, I can tell you it's TOUGH to crack Starforce in it's current state. Public key encrytion alone is simply hard to crack. Period.

Hopefully more developers take the same path as LucasArts, who only use physical disc protection. LucasArts still makes big money on games. Remember also, the descision to use copy protection isn't typically the developers, it's the publishers. Publishers get hypnotized by dollar figures, and almost never understand the technological aspect of copy protection. They see 80,000 pirated copies = $4,000,000 lost to piracy or just pay $20,000 for Starforce protection and keep the $4,000,000. They honestly believe that every pirated copy is a lost sale. Oh well. Rant done. :o

What does starforce mean to the gaming community???

Starforce security’s = money for old rope, better than winning the lottery.
Publishers = Stops pirates, but causes slow digression of customers.
Pirates = Don't give a *hit, gives them something to play with.
Customer = Punished, *issed on, puked all over, kicked in the nuts, broom handle rammed up there *****, and then charged for the pleasure.

This graph show in clear detail the winners and the loses as regards to starforce.

Is it me or does it look like everyone has downloaded the alcohol 120% version of this game?

I have the torrent version which is 1.7 gig and I just used the original crack from the original 1.0 to the latest and it seems to run and work fine, but it seems people are using other versions with this star thing, I dont have anything like that installed.

If you're into torrents let me know via pm and ill send u the link to download this game from where i got it.

You registered only to say you got warez...
What you should be doing, is reading the forum rules before posting something like that.

And for your information version 1.0 is very buggy.

Tested and works flawlesly!!!!! (can be found on ************************************* site too)
I installed lots of mods since this morning. I.e. RUB 1.3 works like a charm.

So, this patch means that Starforce has been cracked?
I hope so!!

Thank you BarryB!!! :)

Is it working ok, when you use your original dvd without the crack?
Do you have the original dvd?

To I_was_suspended:

I repaired exactly the same problem with crash to desktop when the loading bar is complete.
You have to install the game in english first because when looking at the no-cd it says for english version. Then it works.
I switched language back to german from the main-menu options at once after.
But the no-cd can't start the game for the first time if the installer choose any other language than english.

I got it sorted now, reinstallation fixed my problem, or some of the driver changes did not 100% sure.
