GWX question

[cowboys98]

last night me and another freind was trying to play gwx in multyplayer,we did everything exactly in the sh3 install,since he did not have gwx,we did a new install with the patch 1.4b .he also put the gwx mod in the silent hunter 3 folder and rename the folder to gwx,then he put the dec 23rd corrections.
in the mod enabler we had all the mods on except fix french mod,we started the game and as soon as he got in game he crash back to desktop.so i told him that i forgot to tell him that i had a another new mod that i had install during the day.
i had install the torpedo damage mod,so i gave him the files and we launch the game,everything was going fine,this time he got into the game,so we started to hit the subs,and when he hit the first sub,he crash again to destop,so now we are trying to figure out why he keeps crashing ,becouse we got everything exactly the same,maybe i dont know if you can play multyplayer games with the torpedo damage mod,so am asking your help to see if we did something wrong.thanks guys for your help.

His computer spec are? His is dial up for connection? Has his crashed just playing single player? Let get the preliminaries out of the way first.

i dont know what he got,but we play stock sh3 together, ill ask him today,he plays CALL OF DUTY 2 SO I FIGURE HE MUST HAVE A GOOD PC.HE WAS ABLE TO PLAY IN SINGLEPLAYER AND HE GOT CABLE CONNECTION.HE TOLD ME HE COULD SEE THE DAMAGE OF SHIP,SO IT WORKS IN SINGLEPLAYER BUT NOT MULTYPLAYER.

I don't think it is the torpedo damage mod. I have played online with different sub skins that others did not have in their files. It played fine. See if he is able to play single player without crashing. Also, in multiplyer he would not get as far as even playing. Once the game is launched and the files do not match from player to host, that player is booted immediatly. Sounds like an issue with his hardware.

Its Weird Becouse He Did Go Into The Game,but After A Little While Like Half A Minute Then He Crashes,i Was Going To Ask You Also,so If I Install Diferent Mods And Play In Multyplayer,and The Other Players Dont Have The Same Thing I Got,you Mean I Still Can Play?somebody Told Me That Everybody Has To Have The Same Mods In Order To Play In Multyplayer,now Im Confused!lol

I believe the same config files is all that is required. Skins and such I believe do not play a factor. If he was able to play, then his files are compatable with yours. If the files are different from the host you will get booted immediatly. If he was able to play a minute or so then this part of it is ok. Sounds like a hardware problem. GWX is very demanding on the system. Throw in a connection online with it and now it is even more demanding.

See how he does just single player

To play an MP game EVERYONE MUST HAVE THE SAME FILES. If this is not the case you have crashes. Usually texture files make no real difference but to be on the safe side just use the same as everybody else

Sounds and skins in MP should not cause any issues :nope:
It is common for players to get into the mission then crash a few seconds later :yep:
I believe this is down to the timing of the programme accessing whatever is in conflict with the host servers set up :yep:
You should both try running a basic set up than at each sucessful stage 'jointly' add one mod at a time :arrgh!:

Heres the thing. I played GW1.1a with some buddies. I had Sober's water mod and Fubar skin. No issues playing. I would still like to know if his buddy can play single player without crashes.
