just to confirm that when not using the crack and mounting... it runs great! no silly graphics, or any weird beheviour. It even runs better and looks better for some reason and also sound is better!!
So must be a dodgy crack!

I had a request via PM regarding my Intro Film/Load Screens for SH3 so I will post them again just in case some one else would like to check them out.
INTRO
SINGLE MISSION
Copy both these files to C:/Program files/Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/Data/Menu/Loading
(best is to back up the orig files in case you dont like mine...but I think you will not revert back to them anyway  )
LOGO (INTROFILM)
Copy this file to C:/Program files/Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/Data/Movies/Intro
(Again, backup the orig stuff etc etc)
Enjoy!

What do you mean with silly graphics and better sound etc? I am not using a crack but every once in a while the see looks weird for one second, like one flash. The sound is way to soft too.
I am using the mount & cloak way to play the game.

Ahh okay, I never had that. I'm good then. Problems I have are just needing to be patched up.
Thanks for your quick reply!

i miss the action cam view that used to get....the one where when u launch a torp...the camera would show it been launched in a small screen or in full screen.
Can you get this?
Also is there a cam that follows the torp like in SH3 ?

You can, it's just rather pathetically hidden. Choose whatever realism mode, then when in your room goto the options (radio) and change the gameplay settings there. So stupid (not you, just certain aspects of this game).
I'm noticing far more crashes by the AI, and the air attacks are pretty laughable... I'm not questioning their accuracy but when they are doing loop the loops in the middle of fog and crashing willy nilly into the see... I didn't know whether to laugh or cry 
Life boats are empty as well for some reason.
It's a fun game, just needs a patch and the mod makers to get to work. |

One thing that is really doing my head in is the explosion sounds that seem to happen with seemingly no reason? At a guess perhaps it's far away AI crashes but how the sound can travel that far and so often I honestly don't understand.

Damn. I can see why you sub sim fanatics prefer Silent Hunter 3. Much more immersive.
More options to fiddle with, more dials, actual interaction with people, more interior locations, graphics are a step down but im looking into this GWX mod for it, I'd have to say torpedo hits have alot more "oomph"....
yeah, pretty impressed with that one. Now i'm actually confused how they've gone from SH3 to SH4. Even the museum in SH3 is much more feature filled.
Now, query time. in Silent Hunter 3, while attempting to work on my torpedo skills in the training missions......... I managed to have 6 torpedoes harmlessly bounce of the hull of the ship.
Is there a reason for this sort of thing?

Um...
How come the torpedoes show up on the "battle map" sometimes..but sometimes not?
It gets annoying.

any "strange behaviour" can most likely be attributed to the crack.
I'm getting varying performance (butter smooth one time, to quite choppy on another go), crewman with no eys, crewman with giant bug eyes that just stare at you in a creepy way, crewman that are fully 3D one minute, then just 2D paper versions of their former selves.
These aren't game bugs, these are definitely crack related.

The Torpedoes "go live" at a range of 300m, anything under that will be a dud. this was of course due to safety+ if you have the "Realism" setting to "dud torpedoes" that might happen to simulate how it actually was, some toprs simply malfunctioned. From 1939 -1940 the Germans had big problems with the "Magnetic" trigger function of the torps, this was due to a construction flaw. Most Captains manually set the torps to a depth of 0 and switched the trigger to "Contact" instead of the "Magnetic" trigger, something you can also do in SH3 of course |

thanks CaptainCox. I can actually confirm that it must've been my range.
I was pretty much shooting a ship while sitting a ship length away from it. Thanks for confirming that. I'll know not to waste torpedoes now.

This game is so much a step in the wrong direction, it's not even funny. Once again, we see the trend to streamline games, even a smulator. Where's all the unique upgrades to the subs found in SH3? Replaced by four boxes of redundant junk, with generic names and no history describing the actual use during the time period. Crew functions are replaced simply by compartments, utilizing a fatigue system that appears to be quite broken (Crews only switch shifts once). Torpedoes are even worse with just the names and no data whatsoever on the actual torpedo characteristics, which is utter stupidity.
I started a patrol last night and right off the bat I've got a merchant ship and a destroyer moored in port with me, shooting at me. No idea what the hell is wrong there. Taskforces roaming 10 clicks out of enemy harbors, generally weird shit like that. Damage control UI is just awful, it doesn't really tell you anything other then what's damaged and a vague bar as to how badly, which isn't helpful in the least. Sonar is non-functional above 20 meters depth. Collision is just as toasty as it used to be. I went to surface to refresh my O2 and lo and behold, four destroyers were above me and my sonar operator was none the wiser, apparently. I split one of them in half on the way up while taking only moderate damage. At least one of the realism options is broken.
While the new engine is pretty and what not, it doesn't seem to do to well. It's running horridly on my system at 1024 x 768. No AA options ingame which is unforgivable in this day and age, and to add insult to injury, you can't even force AA at the driver level. So everything glows with lots of jagged edges. Yummy.
This game is fundamentally fucked. All the modding and patching in the world wouldn't be able to fix it. Period. I'm glad I didn't buy this steaming pile of Ubisoft shit.

I think I am going to wait out SH4 untill it gets fixed up, Its very hard to play it in its current state.
Does anyone know of some *must have* mods for SH3?
