@Magic

Diese Textur hat garkeine Auswirkung auf die Bunker, da ich beim Erschaffen des 3D Modells damit nicht gearbeitet habe.

These texture do not have any effect on the game.

@raymond

No changes for the specs!
But you could have these difficulties because auf WinVista.
How do you start the game?
Do you use the original dvd or do you use the no dvd thing?
I ask because I also had similar issues with the original dvd and the vanished
with the no dvd thing and the vista patch!

greetings
Han

I am using the original dvd. Starforce will not permit loading the patched exe so I didn't use it. I had to re-install again. The no-dvd thing should not be a requirement to use a mod !

Yes, I agree but this is no problem of the mod but of the SilentHunter programme code & Windows Vista/Windows 7 different memory management!

If you would use Windows Xp32 Bit you would not have these problems.

Well is installed the mod, and the solo missions work but i crash on campaign.
I use vista 32bit.

I ask in another topic too, but to make this not off-topic

Is the mod (fully or some parts) compatible with GWX3?

And the reply is the same: No it`s an supermod of its own. And you should give WAC also a try.

Best regards

SirHiggins, if you start using WAC 4.1, you won't use anything else. IMHO

@ Moscowexile - What exactly happens when you try to launch a patrol in career ? I don't know much about W7, but I can pass it on to Wolfehunter and see what he says.

@ Tuddley3:

Thanks for your speedy response!

When I launch my first career sortie out of Wilhelmshaven, 1939, the game loads quickly until the loading bar reaches about 98% then it hangs there for about 5 minutes. There then follows a CTD with a message from the OS (in Russian) that says that there is something wrong with the instalment, that the system is checking for a remedy and that I shall be informed of a remedy if one is found.

I had LSH up and running the other day - no problem.

I am now downloading WAC files again and slowly going through this whole thread.

It is WAC 4.1 that I am downloading of course, and I have noticed in the thread HanSolo's constant reminder of the file size: he says 4.6/4.7 or whatever. The file size of my first download (WarAce Campaign 4.1 final FULL XP.7z) is, however, given as 450 Мb (471*859*200 bites).

I am downloading from HanSolo's site.

(The second file has just downloaded as I write and its size is given as 471*859*200 bites.)

Ahoy there Cheapskate!

You may still be in your hammock now, shipmate, because of the time difference (it's 9 o'clock in the morning here, 6 a.m. GMT), but I have found the answer to my question above.

I have not opened an Elevated Command Prompt with Administrator Privileges in Windows Vista as per instruction in Krabb's patch because I have a Win7 OS.

I will give it a go though and see what happens.

moscowexile · 01-08-10, 03:06 AM

The elevated command prompt is an option that Krabb suggests using with Windows Vista: my OS is Win7.

A very belated Good Morning/Afternoon Moscowexile

Apologies for any confusion caused by my misconception over the way Krabb's Vista/Win7 patch works. I was basing my comments on -

1) Krabb's post no 1129 (this thread):-

Did you execute the commands described in the readme (bcdedit etc.)?

2) Step 4 in the readme accompanying his download of same..... which I discovered that I'd obtained in the days when I thought Win7 would be able to handle SH3 without problem.

As I mentioned earlier I'm still using XP, although I've skimmed through Koroush Ghazi's excellent Tweaking Companion for Win7:-

http://www.tweakguides.com/TGTC.html

On reflection I really shouldn't have commented on an OS which I'm not running. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Absolutely no knowledge can be positively life threatening

The main thing is: How are things now? Getting vanilla SH3 to work was a good start. Have you been able to get any modded version going?

danasan · 01-08-10, 07:17 AM

Hello there,

as far as I can see, bcdedit etc is used when you run a 32bit OS because of the RAM adressing space limited to 2 GB for programs. If you have 4 GB, it gives only 2 GB to an app. It should not be needed with a 64 bit OS.

So, what is going on? Do you have a vanilla SH3 running?

Sorry about the campaign files, I made a mistake. It is the one without mines... I apologize, but it was late here...

Krabb · 01-08-10, 07:50 AM

danasan is right, bcdedit stuff is used on 32 bit OS. The instruction refers only to Vista, because Win7 hasn't been released yet when I was writing it. I have not tested Win7, but apparently, it (32 bit version) also requires you to enter these commands.
