Hey guys, I'm DYING in anticipation of playing this mod, its renown is extremely high, but I'm having some problems with the install. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but GWX said there were modded files, so I uninstalled, deleted every SH file I could find, and I'm in the process of redownloading from steam as we speak. One thing I couldn't help but notice though, on the GWX website in the support section, it links to "patch 1.4b" but the highest number patch on that list is 1.3. Is there another location I need to go to find 1.4? I also couldn't find any way through the steam client to determine what my download version is, I would assume up to date, but you never know. Much thanks on the assist.

Any game recently purchased new (as opposed to picking up a used disc somewhere) should already be fully patched to v1.4.

Make sure you get your GWX3 files either from the link in Jimbuna's sig to his Filefront page, or from the link provided by Fubar2Niner a couple posts up (provided the files are still available there).

Also if you want a truly clean new installation for GWX purposes, it's advisable to do a registry clean before you reinstall SH3 to get rid of any leftover stuff in the registry that the normal uninstall process doesn't take care of.

If you have the latest Steam version?
It should already be the 1.4b version.

When installing GWX on a Steam version?
Pay attention to the screen that asks where you want it installed!
Use the browse button and find the Steam installed version of SH3.

The installer was created before Steam was an issue so it gives a false report of modded files if you do not point it to the correct folder!


If this issue keeps popping up?
I may need to get permission to re-do the installer for GWX 3.0
I still have all the original Codeing.

Privateer hit the nail on the head, I wasn't in the steam folder and that seems to have been the problem. Thanks! Happy Hunting!

Glad you are sorted Mate!


By reading the original install code?
It should not give this false 'Modded files' report.
But as we did not have Steam as a concern at that time?
It only has one error message that it can default to if pointed at a non-existing folder.


That's my fault totally!

@Jim hope you don't mind me doing this mate, shout if I'm out of order. Kapt L link seems dead also.

Best regards.

Quick question mate, what happened to your collection of Fubar's skins ?

Best regards.

Edit: No matter Jim, I see you already noticed them missing

Hey all:
Been away for a while and recently reloaded SH3/GWX and H.Sie's .exe G2 mod. Everything seems ok, but starting in the 2nd flotilla out of Wilhelmshaven I can't seem to make the game "move ahead" after spending the requisite 5 days out on workups. I did not modify or purchase anything for the sub other than adding crew members before the first shakedown patrol.
When I get back to base and dock, after going into the briefing office, if I pick the mission board, it gives me the same briefing that I got on August 1st. Saving and exiting doesn't seem to matter.

I actually had this once before and figured out a way to get out of it, but so far I am not having any luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

[Jimbuna]

Try starting out with 7th Flotilla out of Konigsberg, you should then receive the radio message recall after four days.

[Pdubya]

Ah, I think I know what happened. I forgot to rollback SH3 Commander at one point before enabling H.Sie's mod.

Correction: Seems to be an issue with H.Sie's mod after some testing. Posting in that thread.
