Icon14 Installing SH3 on Windows 10 Success

I just wanted to say thanks to Bl!tzkr!eg for these instructions:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=212323

By following steps 5-12 on the 3rd post in that thread, I was able to successfully install SH3 from my old DVD and get it running on Windows 10 64-bit, yesterday. (I already had the 1.4b patch file lying around.)

It really brought back the memories firing up the game after being away ~10 years.

I wonder why that thread is not sticky!? It has helped me a lot, too!
It is much more useful than all the other threads sticky now.

one thread is even about a flotilla that does not exist!

Default Grewy Wolves on Windows 10

I've just managed to install SH3 on Windows 10 and now successfully, after many failed attempts to download Grey Wolves Expansion (GW3-3.bin being the offending file), and all works, its been months since I could get near this game.

How did you manage to get GWX working? Mines been a nightmare on windows 10 steam version, it’ll work then crash to desktop randomly mid game or it’ll crash when loading a save.

Hi mate how did you manage to get GWX working? I’m on a windows 10 pc with the game off steam and no matter what I try the game crashes mid mission randomly or I’m unable to load the save.
