Well, I suppose there is naturally a secret link between game developers and computer hardware industry. First guys create the most resource hungry games possible to fuel second guys revenues, not voluntarily of course.

Look at SH4 in this context: this game is inferior in all important aspects (war theater, playability) to SH3 apart from crucial one: it has much higher system requirements. It is simply SH3 with two times more challenging graphics.

It is very clear because otherwise there will be no need for commoners to buy such video monsters like 9800GTX2 or HD3870X2. :rotfl:

On the other hand... therea are videocards for 100€ which perform like hell for this money today. so if people wanna have good graphics, they have to spend some money. don´t has to be over 300$ or 200€!

EDIT: harbour traffic lite for start harbours is now available: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FA6ZZXWI

Yes, I think video adapter for 100 EUR is sufficiently enough now if it can handle DX10 and SM 4.0. That is why I don't consider buying anyting above 9600GT or HD3850.

Hey couldnt resist to buy the 8800gtx for only €164 (demo/open box) - get now 64+ FPS in the heavy populated ports in WAC compared to the 3-6 FPS with my old 6600 a week ago -

dump the girl(boy)friend/eat junkfood for 1-2 weeks and u can afford it.

btw. CTDing exiting WAC (doesnt happen with stock sh3 or GWX) is mandatory to me - no exceptions but i can live with it for the time being

Me too. In real life US subs was causing massacres among Japanese undefended merchants with impunity what is particularly boring as playing experience. Therefore Pacific theater completely lacks this wonderful War of Atlantic climate.
Moreover I think UBI screwed-up this game series a bit by transferring too many features from previous parts to newer ones. If they return with SH V into Atlantic on German side it will be a horrible stupidity and the final end of this series.

I am sure that next SH parts should focus on Allied submarines on Atlantic and Japanese ones on Pacific.

Did you delete the "SH3" folder where your savegames and careers are?

nik112 · 07-04-08, 11:44 AM

YES

HanSolo78 · 07-04-08, 11:50 AM

Hm.. difficult.
But I think that if museum and training missions are working.. there have to be mistake in the copy process... campaign files read units from sea/air/land.. maybe some files are missing.
But this is difficult to proof!

What´s the size of your folder that is activated via JSME?

Start the EDITOR with the scripted, the random and the land layer. If there are no conflict messages then things are really difficult as HanSolo pointed. You should search the problem to drivers I believe, defragment, provided the installing procedures are followed as they should...

nirwana · 07-04-08, 02:21 PM

Check for d3d9.cfg and d3d9.dll in the WAC rootfolder - it caused CTDs for me as well as u described. I had to use a regcleaner utility to get rid of the entries in the registry that restored the bug even after the complete reinstalling without those 2 files. Since then i dont even have the posted abnormal termination exit the game anymore. I tried GWX - light harbor traffic as well but it seems to be incompartible with WAC.

bigboywooly · 07-04-08, 05:34 PM

WAC and GWX are incompatable
Both are " super " mods in their own right

Do a dual\multi install
That way you can have both or even more different versions of the game
