GWX 3.0 crashes at loading screen

Dennis197 · 03-22-18, 01:48 PM

Good evening folks,

a few days ago i installed GWX 3.0 and got one error during the installation:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Silent Hunter 3\data\Sea\NF_boat_2_T05.tga

Apparently this one file seems too be corrupted. I just continued with the installation and it finished succesfully. So after I started a new career in 1939, the first 3 to 4 missions went fine but after that it just keeps crashing at the loading screen (The loading bar gets stuck at 90% and then crashes).
I already did a new installation of SH3 and GWX but nothing works (still getting an error about this one corrupted file).

Maybe one of you guys can help me out of this because it's frustraiting me and i just want to sink ships

Hi, I'm not very familiar with the steam version, but you can take a look here

I do not see why that file would make any difference with or without STEAM
Steam Conversion SH3 Installation Instructions By BL!ITZKR!EG

Have you installed the 4gb patch?
4Gig Patch For SH3 > Already Activated In LSH3

Where have you installed GWX?
Have you installed SH3Commander?

If you have Windows 10 you need to run SH3 in Windows 7 compatibility mode.

Hi Toman_149 Re GWX Save crashing

1. Did you save your career save while submerged or near land
if so that could be why your game is crashing i would keep trying it.
It may kick in and fire up if not just restart that patrol from in base before next mission let me know how you get on Sir and if the downloads helped if you dont have them installed or you need further help Salute

2. Have you installed the 4Gig Patch so your SH3/GWX can use more memory

3. If you are using the Commander Mod have you downloaded the GWX Commander Mod Config file.
