Better to be early...!!!:up: Since people have diffeerent DL speeds, i think the time when they actually get GWX will vary. :rock:

Well mate, in all fairness don't you think it might be better to give everybody time to DL it and play it?

I'm excited. I left Wilhelmshaven on June 1, 1940. Just in time for Operation Juno! Its now the 5th and I'm booking it to Narvik and should be there in about 3 days. Hopefully I'll be able to catch some Brits hightailing it! :arrgh!:

Great job on adding the Operations and appropriate radio messages, guys. I really like the nav map too, with all the new labels.

Yes, yes, Kpt. That is my sole intention. I dont want anyone to answer before they have tried it out! :yep:

Started a patrol in the black sea last night, went to engage 2 unarmed russian tug boats on the surface with my type 2 flak :up: , but as I closed in, two hungarian stukas pounced on the tug boats with bombs and machine gun fire - sunk them both in seconds... :o i was very impressed :arrgh!:

I also checked out Serg's beaufighter with rockets in the mission editor, woah those things will kick your boats arse in to middle of next week if youre not careful :D

I want to war on 2 patrols last night.
Early 1940 in a IIA 1st flotilla.

I saw light-up neutral ships on my way to the patrol grid in the Shetlands. However after a week of bad weather on my patrol grid I had to turn back due to fuel shortage. I dived after a plane sighting on the Scottish border and returned home.

The second patrol sent me to the essex coast where I had 3 weeks of bad weather :damn:.
I fired a spread of 3 torps at a C&V destroyer. The wind speed was 15 and the u-boat could not turn around 180deg until i increased my speed to above 2knts.
2 Torps hit at ~3m depth amidships. The destroyer exploded and sank within 30 seconds.

Can't wait for some better weather, a VIIC and some Atlantic convoys! :arrgh!:

my thoughts on GW:hmm:

i will finish downloading it, and then play it for a week, adapting myself from IUB to GW.

THEN i will dare to make any kind of comment.:oops:

if GWX is a s big as it seems, how DARE users comment now? all that is being said here can not be for real, less than 2 days after release.:shifty: :down:

GW 1.1a users might have impressions, but to those folks too: USE it before making up your mind...:)

:roll: Sure its not your set up
As most reports while testing indicated better frame rates - even on my system which is crap

Still no pressure to use it

I didnt say it was your system
I said set up

I only have 1.79 Ghz processor\1Gb memory and a 128mb ATI 9250 graphics card

Hardly world shattering and GWX is no worse for me than GW - in fact its probably better

12-16-06, 05:39 PM
:hmm: Your system is more than 'adaquate'.

I'll throw a couple of options out there.....

Is V-Sync enabled?
Is a defrag needed?
Any major background tasks runnning?

Maybe you can lower/experiment with some settings for your video card.

P.S. Frame rates will always be much lower in the port areas.

Dont be so sure mate, I got half the system you got and it runs silky smooth for me, maybe its time you did a re-install of windows?? as there nothing wrong with your hardware.
Not trying to dent your ego or anything, but your CPU RAM and VGA card are what produces performance for your games, i dont see how your keyboard / monitor / speakers / northbridge /south bridge coolers etc etc effects the game. :dead:

After getting everything downloaded and installed, I'm not sure what to say,lol I've barely scratched the surface of GWX, and yet the only thought that comes to mind so far is, I can't believe a group of people got together, and on their own time, and through a lot of hard work, gave this to the community free, for their own enjoyment!

Incredible, and thanks again to the whole GW team!:up: Now off to get those escorts! Ain't scared of no stinkin', fiesty, bloody little escorts!! They're mine, all mine!!!!:rock: Wonder if I can change the name of my boat to "Eskorte-Mörder", can you do that!?!

1 and 3. Better than expected in some fields, behind in others. For example, I expected them to have modelled the Battle of Drøbak Sound.

And hey, it can always get better:p.

But overall, it's fantastic. It breathes so much life into the game that it's amazing. This is Silent Hunter III as it should've been all along.
