I’d say Beta, but I guess we can agree that at the time of release SHIII was far from finished. BTW there have been worse releases: Falcon 4, Enemy Engaged 2...

@Goldenrivet - I tried your short cut and suffered fatal CTDs while the game was loading:oops: .
Went back to the recommended GWX install process and no problems.:rock:

But that's unfair... If I, for example, sell on market any product witch is not ready for use or have multiple malfunction, a customer will bring it to me and will want his money back. Ubisoft don't said even 'sorry...'! That's why SH3 was the last game whitch i buy from them! If GWX DevTeam make a mod for SH4 i will buy it only from second-hand - I will not support again that thievish company!:down:

Easy there mate.

Without SH3 (buggy or not) there would be no GWX.;)

Is that like saying "without the egg, there would be no chickens" :hmm: :rotfl: Sorry that wasn't funny :shifty:

I know;) Sorry for my english, maybe i don't explained it clearly and precisely - I think that selling new product (SH4) before previous game was fully fixed and done was dishonesty. UBI should support SH3 utill it will coresponding with their pre-relase game content
declaration. I'm talking about tens unused .ogg voices in game directory, other features that have description in SH3 manual but doesn't work in game and many many less important or major bugs. Why they don't published SH4 as paid add-on for SH3 or at least as separate, but compatibile with SH3 (like Il sturmovik and Pacific Figters)?
As I said I know that without SH3 there's no GWX, but why moders must work for free and wasting their own time just because Ubi can't make fully functional game.

1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. deep breath, need to calm down myself;)
Sorry for OT, that was last post full of complaint...

Great work all, and thanks for the update.

What happened to the "Scene.dat" file? It's now 4mb. Not causing any problems, was just curious about the size difference.

... I'm getting crashes while loading mission after "Not so long ago" screen, I saved it in the port of Hella just few hours before the start of war. Using SH3 commander and GWX 2.1 :down:

So if I want to keep renown points in my pocket I can simply let them live right ? :)

Thanks so much Grey Wolves! :up:
Is it just because of my clean install or have the loading times improved?

Just finished my 5 day shakedown trip form Wilhelmshaven and I'm preparing for my first patrol. Really cool that the campaign now starts on august 1st since thats my birthday. Since my boot number is 698 (year and month of birth) I'm sure I'll have a brilliant career, there's no coincedence :smug:

A few questions.

I installed the res fix again to be able to play at 1280x1024 but I noticed this disables the F9 F10 and F11 keys. Any cure for that? (set keys prog doesn't seem to work).

Can someone confirm that installing sound mods won't matter for the 2.1 install?
I want to reinstall Thomson's Whispering Ring Ring mod, and replace the diesel sounds.

Can I install the SB_cameras mod?

Sub skins?

Hope this isn't in the new manual 'cause I couldn't find it in there.

I installed Thomsen's Whispering Ring Ring mod and the game works fine! And since it is a sound file, you can install during a mission.

Sound mods are usually compatible with any mod. :up:

Thanks Zelda and Dowly.

Will try right away.

Contact,

I read your post and thought lets have a try saving the game around the harbour location [career mode] and reload to see what happens, and yep I crashed to desk top at the "Not so long ago" load up screen just like you did :shifty:

I took all mods of so it was a clean 2.1 running through SHIII Cmdr 3.1, no joy :shifty: :hmm:

I read the manual and it talks about 50km and game crashes, but not about this part :hmm: I was surfaced as well, I did this just to see what would happen, I've played the game prior to this and everything worked fine 2.1 through SHIII Cmdr 3.1 :roll:

Interesting :hmm:

Heh.. yeah.. well.. some problems still making some dark clouds around this release too.. :shifty:

This crash can be simply be avoided by not saving close to docks.. or if possible better not touching save option in mission at all, or making multiple saves to lower the crash risks. I can remember my disapointment in GWX 2.0 when I made a save at 00:00 time after that couldn't load it back.. heh, had to say goodbye to that pretty big tonnage I did on that patrol.. :cry:
