Hehe...it was just off lands end, so i guess it wasn't too far away from plymouth. I have thought about visiting plymouth to see if there is anything to sink in the harbour.

Well i surfaced and was smack bang in the middle of the convoy. I fired a couple of torpedoes, both scoring hits, 1 of them damaging a tanker badly enough forcing it to be abandonded by the convoy. I waited for a couple of hours for the escorts to move on with the convoy and sank her with my deck gun.

I'm not sure what the plan is now. I may head back and follow the convoy or search for some lone ships.

Blech mine won't run, error 1331 (I think) tried rebooting, cleaning CD at the moment am coppying disk onto spare HD to load from there - any bright idea's anyone?

Hopefully the "CD" part was just a slip, since it's a DVD.

A friend of mine actually wondered why he can't read the disc, when he wasn't aware it was a DVD and he didn't have a DVD drive

Schaden, I hear some have trouble with the copy protection system on RVR-RW... check out the tech forums at subsim for more info.

To avoid problems, Try intsalling the game on a DVD drive not a DVD-RW drive. I have both on my rig, And havnt seen any problems yet.

The Starforce Piracy Protector is a very tricky beast, and most new games are using it. It puts new DLL's and all sorts of stuff on your computer. Theres a warning right on the SHIII Box.

To avoid problems, crack it. Only thing I could do to play it.

Copied onto my spare drive and loaded from there, works now...very very awesome, quite like the old Aces of the Deep but much better.

Oh yeah, it is a terrific sim. The free camera is awesome, and I have learned tons about the subs. The last batch the nazi's had was pretty incredible. A Destroyer tried to ram me after a heated battle and actually sank himself. And when air attacked, those deck guns were quickly efficient.

I don’t have an extra drive to install too, so just saying if like my disk you can't play while it locks up trying to protect itself, (how ironic) crack it. Works perfect. But not 1.01 yet.

Do you have administrative right Nath ?
Retry with an administrator account.

i snuck into scapa flow today and put 3 torps into the Illustrious.. 5 corvettes converged on my position and i pulled up next to the half sunken carrier and waited out a 6 hour barrage. i eventually was able to sneak out very slowly and ran to the western exit and out after taking down a cruiser that was parked as well

im one lucky SOB

I am on an admin account -- that error still comes up. I tried some stuff on the microsoft website but none of it worked.

The new copy protections are so lame that they stop normal people from playing the game but they don't stop pirates from hacking them.

The first thing I'm gonna do is to install a no-cd hack to the game once I get it.
