GWX 1.2 crash

[bb-subs]

Hi there

I downloaded the new 1.2 and put it on a new install that was patched and set up with GWX.
The loading speed really picked up with 1.2 and I can play around in school but to start a campaign in 39 results in only a crash.
The mods are done with JSGME and like I say it is a fresh install.
Any ideas?

Thanks Grant
:o

Do you use SH3Cmdr? Was it rolled back prior to disabling/enabling mods in JSGME?

Were there any error messages during the patching to 1.02?

Are you using an old campaign save?

Did GWX work fine without the patch?

Did you verify that the patch was not corrupted? (MD5 Check)

What mods are you using? What Mods did you use on the GWX installation?

Sorry for all the questions, these are the most common issues, so if we get these out of the way first then we're getting somewhere.

so many things to check, but hey it makes it worthwhile doesnt it!

Hi there


-Do you use SH3Cmdr? Was it rolled back prior to disabling/enabling mods in JSGME?

When I tried the first to patch to GWX 1.2 I disabled the mods with JSGME.
But it told me some parts of the Dec 23 Corrections would not come out.

-Were there any error messages during the patching to 1.02?

None not a one.

-Are you using an old campaign save?

No. I got rid of my old saved games.

-Did GWX work fine without the patch?

Did not try when I reinstalled the game I got rid of the UBI folder and did a fresh install. Patch to 1.4, then to GWX then to GWX 1.4.

-Did you verify that the patch was not corrupted? (MD5 Check)

Did not figure this MD5 compare yet.

-What mods are you using? What Mods did you use on the GWX installation?

GWX - 16km Atmosphere
GWX - Dec 23rd Corrections
GWX - English Nav Map and Grid Refs
GWX - Integrated Orders
GWX - Late War Sensors Snorkel Antennas
GWX - Lite Harbor Traffic
GWX - No Medals on Crew

These were the mods on the origanal GWX but when I did GWX 1.2 The Dec 23 would go in then Lite harbour traffic, and one other mod, would not go in with saying it was allready done by The Dec 23 mod.

-Sorry for all the questions, these are the most common issues, so if we get these out of the way first then we're getting somewhere.

If I ask I expect or hope for questions means someones helping.

Overall the game was installed patched, then GWX dropped then GWX 1.2 all with out a restart, was this wrong or was the game to be started before GWX was installed so that a campaign file would be started?

Thanks Grant:up:

What a four hours.:dead:

The Dec 23rd Patch should have been deleted by the 1.02 patch as its not needed
All the updates that were in the Dec 23rd are in 1.02

[Jimbuna]

Did you delete the SH3 folder in C\MyDocs :hmm:

[bb-subs]

Ok right now with the clean install of SH3 and GWX with
GWX - Lite Harbor Traffic
GWX - Late War Sensors Snorkel Antennas
GWX - Integrated Orders
GWX - English Nav Map and Grid Refs
GWX - Lowered DF Antennas
GWX - Captain America's Officer Icons
GWX - 16km Atmosphere
the game runs fine.

So if I am right now I can disable all of the mods and put in GWX 1.2 right?

And yes to the deleting of all SH3 files. Dont mess around when getting rid of something.
:hmm:
Thanks again
Grant

Oh yes I am not using SH3 Commander. Bit of a cheat I think.

[bigboywooly]

CHEAT ??????
Sh3 commander is quite the opposite
If you use commander FE you will only use the type 2 in the Black Sea - not every other boat the game allows you
Plus it has so much more to offer in ship names\randomized tonnage
The list goes on

Cheat :nope:

[JScones]

Oh yes I am not using SH3 Commander. Bit of a cheat I think.
:hmm: How do you figure that?

[melnibonian]

Oh yes I am not using SH3 Commander. Bit of a cheat I think.
:o CHEAT????? How can you say that. SH3Cmd is a great add-on that allows you to manage your crew and career in a way SH3/GWX cannot. Also if you're using SH3Cmd you can take advantage of the randomised elements like intro screens etc and the up to date recognition manuals.:nope: :nope: :nope:

[bb-subs]

Dive!!

That got some going.
First SH3 Commander I liked but disliked the adding of medals, ranks, and such at my own whim.
But I never got that far with it because of the learning curve in the game and then with GWX..

So the Dec 23 Corrections I can put into my mod folder and enable?. When I do I get messages saying that there is a conflict with a couple of mods. The message says that I can allow an overwrite but warns against it.
Then when I went to put in 1.2 I tried to take out Dec 23. and it would not fully extract with JSGME.

Hey if you guys say Commander I will use it.

Thanks
Grant.

[danlisa]

The 1.02 Patch for GWX includes the Dec 23rd fixes. You do not need the Dec 23rd Fixes.

As for SH3Cmdr, if you only dislike the medal awarding, then don't use it. You can still award medals via the barracks in SH3.:yep:

Just for the record I am also crashing using GWX 1.2

I did a clean install with no mods or anything and sometimes I can play for a few hours and sometimes it crashes instantly. Everytime it happens it crashes to desktop, no error message, just goes to desktop. Regular GWX runs fine, seems to only be 1.2

If I figure out how to fix it I'll let you all know for future reference. So far I'm not having much luck though.

[melnibonian]

I'm affraid we might need a little bit more information on the nature of your crashes to help you. Do you by any chance continue a career you started in the previous version of GWX? This can be the reason, but please give us a bit more information on who and when these crashes occur and we might be able to come up with something.

Just FYI, whether you have 1.2 or not, the official GWX Mods that you've listed above are still optional mods for your choosing.

[bb-subs]

Ok then gentlemen I will disable my mods and drop in 1.2 now.
Then I will drop in SH3 Commander I just grabbed the skins and last version of Commander.
Wish me luck.
And I get it no Dec. 23 mod now.

Thanks
Grant

[bb-subs]

Thanks guys
I got the 1.2 to run now.
The only question I have is what happened to all the ships in the harbour?

If you don't see ships in the harbours it means that you have enabled the Little Traffic Harbour Mod. Disable it via JSGME and you will have loads of harbour traffic

[scalelokt]

I seem to have the crashing problem still but I think I found out why. If I play Elder Scrolls Oblivion I have to restart the computer before GWX will be playable. I havent the slightest idea why, but it was just a hunch I had so I tried it and so far it looks like that is the reason. A restart always solves the problem, but after I play Oblivion, GWX starts crashing to desktop again. Weird huh? Oh well, so long as it works now I wont worry about it.

[melnibonian]

How much RAM do you have? Do you get problems with your virtual memory? Oblivion and SH3 are very hungry on RAM, so this might be a problem :hmm:

[scalelokt]

I have 1500 RAM, and I set the virtual memory at 2500 (for both minimum and maximum) Should be plenty I would think, and both games run beautifully, just not when I play them both without a restart. I wonder if there is some kind of conflict between the two games? I use a lot of mods for both. Oh well, like I said if I restart everything seems fine, and I dont mind restarting. If anyone has any better ideas though I'm all ears. Thanks skippers.

Every pc eventually uses up it's 'resources'....all you can do is reboot :yep:

Ok now I feel stupid. Lite harbor traffic..
Hmm
Duh, little harbour traffic.

Thanks

:oops:

[bb-subs]

You bet.
The thing I do when I first start the PC is end task everthing not needed.
Good old CTRL ALT DELETE

[bb-subs]

Thanks guys
I got the 1.2 to run now.

Grant

Ok you all were right again.
Started a new campaign with SH3 Commander, 7th Flottilla a IXB,:D ,
and fun it is. I have to get used to the handling of the bigger boat and all the fun things that go with it.
But Commander did the Crew setup excellant.
Not all green, a very good mix.

Now to finish the first mission. I picke AN52 for a quick break in and I am now on the way home with four ships down for 18 000.

Thanks for the help
