Does anyone know why this game keeps crashing? I only have the widescreen fix installed and nothing else. This time it happened one second after my torpedo exploded under the destroyer in grid AL39. Year 1944.

What is your mod list? You can use JSGME to generate that by clicking on the "Tasks..." in the middle of the JSGME app, and clicking on "Export activated mods list", and then copy that to your next post. Also, did you empty the Save folder after you installed GWX?

![]() Only this widescreen fix: Conus' SH3GWXWS 2.3. I'm not using anything else to avoid even more frequent crashes. I didn't, because there were no saves there. I've installed GWX on a clean copy of sh3, without even starting it before. I don't play clean, unmodded sh3 ![]() |

Do you have the 4G patch installed?
That may be part of the issue for CTD's. You can d/l a copy here : https://maikhaas.synology.me:5001/fs...4%20GB%20Patch Good hunting, FUBAR295

Some more suggestions in addition to the above. Ensure that the game is not installed in either of the Program Files folders, as those locations cause problems. Right click sh3.exe and set compatibility mode in properties for Windows XP service pack 2. Tick 'run as administrator'. These in addition to the aforementioned 4GB patch are the basics which should get the game running as it should.
Some other tips for avoiding CTDs during gameplay include avoiding using high time compression near ports, avoid scrolling on the nav map whilst using time compression, never use the automatic crew configuration buttons on the crew management screen - drag the sailors individually to the desired stations, and avoid saving the game near land and ships (sunken or otherwise) within about 50km. As you gain experience be sure to consult the included GWX manual, as it contains a lot of useful insights and information. Good luck. |

I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing here, but I just decided to try and get back into SH3 this week.
I'm playing GWX (Grey Wolves) and I use a CRAP TON of mods. Including ARB WideGui... (see attachments) AND.. I'm using SH3 Commander The game started fine. I created a campaign, get to the "office", modify my boat load-out, select a conning tower emblem, set realism, read mission brief and click "start," Watching the big red line move from left to right as the mission loaded. Keeps moving to the right,, loading...... almost there,,,,, Getting excited,, GONNA PLAY SH3 !!!! BOOM!! application error, click "ok" ,,, looking at my desktop.... Pull some more of my receding hairline out, curse at computer screen, reach for pistol (Elvis Presley thing, inside joke). I'm running windows 10. My solution was to go and run the game in Windows XP (Service Pack 3) compatibility mode. (see attached .JPG). It solved my issues. I can duplicate the error by turning compatibility mode off. How do you do this? (you ask in awe) Go to SH3 game application (or desktop shortcut), right click, a window pops up. Select "compatibly" tab at the top, Look for the compatibility mode section. Click in the little box, this activates the little pull down menu. Select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" Click "apply" Try the game.. Hope this works. If it does I will bask in the adoration for which I so richly deserve. If it doesn't. I have no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Last edited by 4H_Ccrashh; 01-05-24 at 06:03 AM. |

Hi 4H_Ccrashh are you using the 4Gib Patch if not download link below
SH3/GWX + Mod 4Gig Patch a must have if you dont have it installed GWX will run out of memory and crash. https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=5737 also did you install the Commander Mod Config File if not download link below. Commander Mod Config File is a must have the Commander Mod Config File configures the Commander Mod to work with SH3/GWX if you dont have it installed GWX will crash. http://www.thegreywolves.com/downloads/ Kind regards blackswan40.
