GWX (Grey Wolves eXpansion Mod)

[Pole Doctor]

That was a GWX 2.0 / SH3 Commander one. The game started crashing as I was tranfered to a new flotilla, and does ever since despite installs. Even fresh new careers result in CTDs.
I didn't change anything (drivers, software, ...), no single mod installed on top of that (even GWX ones), the latest install is as clean as can be ... and still crashes.

If you've added asolutely nothing in the way of mods and aren't using GWX 1.3 saves, I'm afraid it's starting to look like a new install.

Hi jimbuna,
Thanks for your post. I already had several new installs indeed since this first happened. As my previous install was on a d: drive, I finally reinstalled SH3 on the default c: directory, patched to 1.4b and installed Gwx 2.0 ... and it's still impossible to start a mission in career mode.
This one is really puzzling me ...

Did you check all the files you d/l with the MD5 programme (available from the GWX website) and did you d/l the CFG file for SH3 Commander ? :hmm:

Hello !

I´m new here and first I would thank the whole GWX-team for the fine work you´ve done creating this mod (altough you already know, how good you are ).

I also have a litte question: when I change the menutext-settings to german, several single-player missions are not displayed and if the Scharnhorst-mission is chosen I get a ctd.
Could this be a bug or a wrong installation :hmm:
My current installation is SHIII 1.4 with GWX 2.0, no additional mods.
I don´t use SHCommander.

Greetings from Berlin

Yep, all files have been MD5-checked before use, and I used to install the 4 cfg files for SH3 Commander. I've played 2 whole careers with GWX 2 + SH3 Commander, and now the career missions won't start anymore, even without using SH3 Commander.

Can you open museum or play a single mission ?

Thanks for your posts

I can indeed. Museum ships are correctly displayed, and single missions start as well.
As I'm investigating this matter further, it looks like this is year/flotilla related. I could start normally in 1939 regardless of the flotilla but I'm getting various results so far by starting a career in 1940. I'm going to test extensively all the year/flotillas possibilities to sort this out - I may finish this tomorrow because it's getting late here in Europe

Was SH3 commander installed and used before you used it on GWX 2 ?
Did you roll back before installing GWX 2

Brand new career

Have you tried starting in Wilhelmshaven ?

I first installed SH3 Commander after installing GWX 2.0. I rolled it back before uninstalling SH3 and I reinstalled without SH3 Commander, to see whether it was involved in game crashes.

As I wrote yesterday, I'm extensively testing all the year/flotilla career possibilities, and even if it's not complete yet (it's extremely time consuming), here are some results :

• 1939 : 3/3
  • Working : 1st flotilla (type IIA, Kiel), 2nd (VIIB, Kiel), 7/13th (VIIB, Kiel).
• 1940 : 2/3
  • Working : 1st flotilla (IID, Kiel), 7/13th (VIIB, Saint-Nazaire)
  • Crashing : 2nd (IXB, Lorient)
• 1941 : 2/4
  • Working : 1st flotilla (VIIC, Kiel), 23/29th (VIIB, Salamis)
  • Crashing : 2nd (IXB, Lorient), 7/13th (VIIC, Saint-Nazaire)
• 1942 : 1/7
  • Working : 30/33th (IID, Constanza)
  • Crashing : 1st (VIIC, Brest), 2nd (IXC, Lorient), 7/13th (VIIC, Saint-Nazaire), 10th (IXC, Lorient), 11th (VIIC, Bergen), 23/29th (VIIB, La Spezia)
• 1943 : 6 tested so far, all of them crashing (1st, 2nd, 7/13th, 10th, 11th, 23/29th).

The first time I experienced a crash was when I was transfered from 1st to 2nd in may, 1941. After upgrading to VIIB, it's been impossible to start a new patrol, which looks consistent with the above data.
What looks strange is that even after reinstalling SH3 + 1.4 + GWX 2.0 on a clean basis (no mods) and on a different directory, it keeps on crashing. Maybe some files from the previous install were corrupt in any way and were left on the HD ? How can I be sure every single file is removed upon uninstall (directories to remove by hand, etc.) ?

I wonder if anyone could help and clear this up for me.

I would like to install a sub skin for the type II. The one I like are the camo ones made by Fubar or the ones made by Graf. I noticed that they contain .dat files and so I have not installed them.

Can anyone tell me if I install these would they break anything serious in GWX 2.0? I am not very clear on how sub skins work.

I have heard there is a skin pack to use with SH3 Commander coming for GWX 2.0 but I dont know if this would cover it as that normally covers ships and not uboats. :hmm:

It would be great to have a camo sub a few months into the war.

Any help is much appreciated.

I tried them and they worked fine. They will not break things ; maybe they will change some things beside skin of u-boat but it works.
