I cant use wac. I've made a clean install of SH3 and then i've activated wac with the mod enabler.
I launch the game via commander, but when i start a new campaign at 90% i got CTD.

What are your system specs? My poor old machine can't run WAC either, but as soon as I get a new one, look out!

Did you implement the 3GB Switch to boot.ini, and also install the 4GB Patch to Sh3.exe?

Have you a really CTD during Load-process, or do you just think that is not go further away, because it takes (in your opinion) a too long time to load ?

It´s in fact normal, that the loading-process to 90% go fast, and then you must wait, depending on system up to 10-15 minutes that´s load complete !

Best regards,
Magic

My computer is a Intel Core 2 quad Q8300, 6Gb RAM and a Graphic Card ATI Radeon HD 4350, Windows vista 32 bits.

I''ve tried running WAC alone and with H'sies V15G2 pathc applied and both times the result is the same CTD

@Magig111
it's a real CTD, i get a windows message that the program has stopped.

@ Tudley
I thougth the 4 GB patch was only for 64 bits system.

thanks in advance

For Vista 32 you need to take additional steps (5 to 7):

1. Download 4gb_patch.zip here: http://ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php.
2. Unpack it and run the exe.
3. Browse to your Silent Hunter folder and select sh3.exe. This app will create a backup of it and will patch the executable.
4. Click OK to close.

Extra steps for Vista\Win7 32 (not needed for 64-bit versions):
5. Open an Elevated Command Prompt with Administrator Privileges (see below, if you don't know how).
6. Type "bcdedit /set increaseuserva 2900" (no quotes). You can try values in range 2900-3030.
7. Reboot.

How to Open Elevated Command Prompt with Administrator Privileges in Windows Vista\Win7:
1. Click on Vista\Win7 Start button.
2. Locate the Command Prompt menu item (All Programs > Accessories, or appears in program access history).
3. Right-click on Command Prompt.
4. In the context menu, select "Run as Administrator".

That could be a problem right there, but possibly not the problem, if it's crashing while it loads. WAC is very graphics-intensive, which is why I have troubles with my 4650.

It is. Your system will only ever access 2 GB at any one time. That's my other problem as well. The only solution I can see is a newer system and a better graphics card. At least that's what's in my (distant) future.

No, it should work on 32 bits too. That is without the patch only 2 GB are accessible.

The h'sies patch has the option of aply the 4Gb path. And before using it i always have very low fps at wilhemshaven as i use the xtra ships and schluese for it, but with this patch i have a normal fps, it is possible that WAC has more memory requeriments due to more graphics?

Yes. I am still using Windows XP Home, and until I applied the 4GB Patch, I couldn't play WAC 4.1. I had the same problem you did, WAC would freeze at 90% during loading. But since you have Vista, things are a little different I guess.

Hi guys!

1. All 32 bit operating systems do also need the 4Gb patch and a command line changing for the boot ini file for wac 4.1!
2. All 64 bit operating systems only need the 4gb patch.

Now i'm able to run WAC, but now i've got some questions.

1.- How can I take out the colour of the contacts inside the navigation map?, i mean in GWX (which i've played till now) all contacts appear in Grey, so you must identify then before attacking.
2.- Is ther any way to take out the Herr kaleun sound that you hear any time you give your crew an order?
3.- Is there any way to fix in the screen the command board you have downside?, I mean i like to see all text, as for inmersion i have voices in german but text in English as i cant understand german so good.
4.- Does anyone know if FM new interior is compatible with WAC?


thanks in advance
