WAC 5.0 patch problem
 
Hi, I'm wondering how to install the WAC with patch 5.0.1. I extract all the files with winrar and just enable them with JSGME. This is the order of mods I'm using:

Wac 5.0
Wac 5.0 patch 5.0.1
Resolution fix Wac 5.0.1
Atlantic Baltic campaign for Wac 5.0
The supplement for Atlantic Baltic campaign for 5.0.1

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, so I uninstalled the game and will try again soon. I am also running the 4gb patch. The game just loads but it stops somewhere at 90% on loading screen to any mission or training. And nothing more happens.
Can anyone help?

Also another thing I thought about... which one of the mediafire mod files am I supposed to use? There are three Wac 5.0 files, each 500mb... and the last one which is smaller. Am I supposed to install them all or just choose one of 500mb main Wac 5.0 mod files?

(Yes, I really have no idea what I'm doing)

Thanks in advance!

I would put the resolution fix at the end.
WAC 5.01 has very long loading times, so all is alright, you need to wait, wait, wait, drink a scotch, go play SH1, wait, wait.......
Also once you have saved a game and want to go in again, or play a single mission, be sure to restart computer before.

armatata, look in the install instructions PDF again, at the top of Page 3, and see where HanSolo78 mentions putting those WAC5.0 001, 002, 003 & 004 files in the MODS (or whereever) directory - all four of them - and running your archiver program (7Zip) on the first one to extract it, and it will then create the WAC5 folder and "reconstruct" the four 7z files into the main mod in that... You then add your desired Campaign and other options on that after it's activated. :salute:

Honestly man its just patience needed. The mod can take anywhere between 5 - 15mins to load depending where you are in game. I had the same issue BUT if you leave the game alone it will load. But as mentioned before load,
WAC5.0
WAC 5.01 Patch
WAC Atlantic Baltic Campaign
Supplement Campaign 5.01
Then load GUI mods.

It's a big mod so give it plenty of time to load in game.

@CrysisGam3r,

by reading again I see that you never said you have applied the 4GB RAM patch. You must run this patch, this is essential. It will backup your sh3.exe and replace it, giving more memory (up to 3.8 GB) to the game. Start this patch in Admin mode: right-click on the patch executable and 'Run as admin'.
