It's not minor stuff, better not be for 154mb.

It's worth your time to d/l this. Amongst it are critical game fixes, as well as other 'goodies'.

Your call though.

Is it necessary disable all the mods before installing the 2.1 patch?

From Post 1:

Please note: You will need a clean installation of SH3 version 1.4b containing a
properly installed copy of GWX 2.0 BEFORE adding the GWX 2.1 update.

Since we cannot guarantee that previous GWX careers will remain stable, official
installation instructions are as follows:

(Failure to read the directions will cause you to snarl your installation.)

1) Uninstall SH3 USING THE GAME DISK if you have one. (You will need to create a fresh
installation of SH3 to assure stability.)

2) Verify that the "SH3" folder in "My Documents" has been DELETED. If it has not,
delete it manually.

3) Reboot your PC

4) Reinstall SH3 and patch to version 1.4b if your disk does not already contain the
version 1.4b patch.

5) Reboot your PC again

6) Install GWX 2.0 as described here:

Once you have a properly installed copy of SH3 1.4b with GWX 2.0 you are ready for the next simple sequence.

A) Create a new folder on your desktop and label it "GWX 2.1 Update"

B) Download the "GWX21 Update.exe file to the folder you just created on your desktop.

C) Turn your speakers up!

D) Double click the GWX21.exe file and follow the directions that appear.

Hi guys, is anybody willing to upload and post a link to the updated manual here? It's a long day at office for me and I would like to do some reading during lunch. It would take too long to download the whole package.

Sorry guys not come across this before, have been trying to uninstall SH3 all night, been into the PC via Win Explorer, I have XP deleted SH3, been to regedit deleted SH3 from Local Machine, no trace of SH3 in My Docs nor any where else, have defragged, switched off PC etc

Then I try to install I get options to Modify Repair or Remove - Repair doesnt do anything neither does remove, I jst get some error messages

So I cant seem to delete SH3 HELP!!!!

LOL, tis a new one. Most get it on properly, you can get rid.

Ok , basically there are additional Registry entries left for SH3, even though you removed them from your Local Machine, there are others.

My best (and easiest) advice is to download & run CCleaner - http://www.ccleaner.com/ It's a free Junk & Registry tool. Run the cleaner & restart, then run the Registry fixer. This should remove all orphan registry entries allowing you to reinstall SH3.

Yes its a pain, cant believe I cant uninstall a game!!- Anyy way tried a differentr tack I already have CCCleaner and tried that. Basicall I just did a repair, then successfully patched to 4b, now installing GWX2 then the latest GWX if I get away with it

I second that.

[Doolar]

try Windows Installation Cleanup , free from MicroSoft , it worked for me , I've had the same uninstall problems , basicly SH III didn't completely uninstall , this will help finish the job

Job well done! And good luck on the SHIV front.
