SH3 and GWX3 on W7
Hello all,
After more than a few years away, I decided that the Atlantic was calling again...I worked my way through SH5 which is, well, Ubisoft, innit? Then I tried SH4 but it's the Battle of the Atlantic I wanted so installed my Steam copy of SH3 and GWX3 on my new rig which runs W7 Ultimate. I read up - thank you all as ever - installed the ARB WideGui which works well, right up until I enter a mission and the I get a CTD. You all know this, you all discussed it six years ago and I tried everything...4gb patch, V16B1 patch, I run as admin, have tried compatibility of W7, XPSP3 XPSP2... Bearing in mind that my Vista disc is long since scratched to death and I won't install XP in my house network for obvious hacker reasons, plus building another computer just so I can relive the GW3 heyday seems...well, I have a three year old now. Not sure I have the time...I guess the question is: is there a solution now, is there anything I haven't tried...or is it over? Any help, advice or sympathy gratefully received. Matt x |

Hello mattinkent,
Does the game run properly without the wideGUI mod? Asking just to narrow things down. I had the same problems before and I'm not 100 % sure what did the trick but after trying the tips on the dedicated thread I've no been CTD free for a while: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...215433&page=25 If that specific wideGUI mod gives you problems maybe you should try another one to be sure. |

Success
So, to cut a long story short, I uninstalled the whole and wiped the folders. Installed the Vanillla Steam version and it worked. Installed GWX and it worked. So I guess, yes, it was the Widescreen mod that borked it. Thank you.
The question is, since ARB WideGui isn't going to work (the thread for that is 29 pages long and if there's a solution I haven't found it yet), what else might I use?...and, dare I say it, do I really need one? I played GWX for a bit last night and can't say the lack of HD bothered me much. What does everyone think? |

I can’t install ARB wide gui too. BUT Ahnenerbe wide gui 1920x1080 is very fine and works a charm.
Anyway ARB is based on Ahnenerbe... Google Ahnenerbe wide gui 1920x1080 and you’ll find it
