Silent Hunter fix works fine for me.

EDITED...As the day goes on, things come to light.

I've been playing full campaign with this game for days now, and the Reloaded fix works fine for me. Bear in mind That I'm playing from an original disk, so maybe the people moaning have illegal copies.

Why do you have your original disc in the drive while useing the no-cd? I have got a original disc too (how else I can play with patch 1.1 without a crack) but I wanted the crack in order to keep my original in a safe place.

For wich reason you use a crack when you still insert your original disc every time you play. I have installed the game from my original DVD and the aplyed the crack and from that point on I have left the original in a safe place and played without the disc in drive.

Thats the sense of a no-cd crack!!!

And of course I have bought the game!!!

When I said 'Playing' from original, I meant Installing from Original.

I've got the original as well Karl. the reason I used the NODVD fix was because I wanted to test it out, which I did straight away. I've not played the Campaign fully yet, but I did a re-install from the original without the fix, and for me the game seemed to play the same. I say 'seemed', because due to the open ended nature of this game, you're never really sure what you're going to come across. However, I concede that you may be correct. It does seem ominous that the Latest Starforce is strangely the easiest of all to crack. I've posted your concerns to other followers of the game on other Forums, so hopefully se can get some feedback on this quickly.

P.S. Karl, did you install from a backup, or from the Desktop? I know it shouldn't make any difference, but I installed the game from a Desktop file dump from the DVD. Also, when asked to install the auto updater, I chose not to do this. Maybe that could mak e a difference.

I apologize and concede to you better judgment. Yes, the game is different when installed without the fix. Looks like Starforce is not beaten yet. Thanks for pointing this out, I would have been carrying on with the ****y fix, and losing out on the game 'proper', so to speak.

Also, I suppose it's possible that the Illegal version has more fixes in it, and those using the original can't cross-link with Warezzed files, so to speak.

K so u guys have a original DVD of silent hunter 3. Got some questions to figure out if the reloaded version is really cracked properly or not.

In career mode i only get patrol missions do you get any other types of missions. i know these were important in those days, but some variation would be nice.

Do you get strange behaviour sometimes when u change base, and the game tries to change it into the things in the opening screen like options single missions even <null>(this one is a clear indication that there is something wrong with the code, could be crack related).

Also when u report in sunken ships, the only reply u get is "keep up the good work" same for you guys?

The game looks awesome, but it lacks some ww2 authenticity imo. A diary written by a fictional character that explains the going ons in naval warfare and submarine warfare in particular would been really nice. Now i get a feeling that these romanians that created the game felt pleased with just creating an oustanding graphics engine, and left out the ww2 feel.
