Silent Hunter III

[psycco]

Hi guys,
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)?

Yes, I know it is a "noob" question

thx!

(Gee,i hope i did not hurt any board rules... )

1.3 will give you all the updates that are in previous 2 patchs- BUT some people a reporting of no sonar operations in 1.3-beware!!

see this forum:

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?


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?! 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.

Why the mini-image does not working for me?
Can someone explain me how to get it to work?

I just really want to play this game with the patches

MiniImage? Where...? What ...?

There was suppose to be only one Image circuling around this topic and it worked only for the guy who created it...

Hi all.Now after receiving a valid cd key i tried the mini image of Gcw.
It doesnt works. After typing the cd key, which it was accepted, it told me it has a problem to verify the Disk. The same i tried with panzers. With panzers it works!!!
I used just to know Sh3 v.1.0.
Also blocking. Port Royale, Panzer 1.6, both works, just Sh3 doesnt.
Someone who really come to the end and played the game?

greetings

I hope you received this valid key by a legal source !!!

[KrezzyKid]

hey guys

just wanted to say that there is a little backdoor someone discovered. It has something to do with a registry-file and it somewhat fools around with starf...

anyway, I now am past the CD-Key-verification my question is whether there is a chance I can get SH3 to accept the mini-image as the real DVD. BDW: how is SFNightmare and its sister supposed to work?
what good does it do, to disable the real CD-ROM-drives?

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

[KrezzyKid]

back once again

i meanwhile got SFN working and voila, he stopped telling me to insert the disc to another drive
now he gives me a read-error...

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...

c'est tres bizarre...

Oh, I almost forgot: I don't own a USB-HD, but if I did, how should I use it?

Just to support your theory, Gangland is also working (Update v1.4)

There is something more into SH3 then what meets the eyes...

[KrezzyKid]

at least not w/o facts to support your theory

I'll try to record an image off of my original DVD (should work with a rented DVD as well) and after that I shall report back

as far as I have heard it is supposed to work somehow like that (and I tend to believe things which aren't proven wrong - yet)

hey guys i am very sorry to interrupt u with all your talk but i feel (and i am ) a total noob with all the how u call it mini-image stuff and all the alcohol burining at the lowest speed and with stuff activated and all....well i am really lost...all i know is using daemon tools and alcohol and u know...mounting images..thats it....so u know i really like SH3 i think that game is awesome and i really want to play it without the cd method...i got the cd key, like u said u can only help if i got the cd key.... so please PM me and teach me how to use all that stuff and all....like u know a dude posted here about a working method...well i would like to understand what he wrote.... so pm me if u want or can

thank u

Guys don't shoot if i say any crap, but first listen.
What if someone could modify registry.dat so that when the game asks for a cd key and we write the code they guy before said it won't mention any "authority" problems e.t.c. Or what about someone could upload an original dvd mini-image???
Sorry for any english mistakes...

[ripper_george]

authorization problems i mean or sth like this. I don;t remember exactly what it says...
