CTD with GWX

[Andyman23]

hi, i just reinstalled SH3 and GWX and every time i try to load a single mission or a career patrol, i get a CTD with this error message:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

First guess: is SH3 patched to 1.4b?

[Andyman23]

yes, it is

If you already had a documents\SH3-folder? Try deleting, renaming or moving it. Remember that could be a problem...

Best of luck.

According to the info you gave us, there are many files of you rprevious installation on your system that remaine dundeleted. Before reinstalling SH3 you must run a registry cleaner and make sure all SH3 files are delted from the drive you had it installed and from the SH3 folder in my documents. :up:

Follow these instructions and all should be well. BTW, remember previous game saves will not work.

1. Uninstall SH3 via Windows' "Add/Remove programs"
2. Open Windows Explorer and:
- *delete* the folder where you had installed SH3
- *delete* the \My Documents\SH3 folder
3. Reinstall SH3
4. If your SH3 did not come with patch v1.4b already included, install patch v1.4b. Ensure you install the patch that corresponds to your copy of SH3 (Download/DVD/EMEA/US)
5. OPTIONAL: Copy and paste this "clean" install as a backup to avoid the need to follow steps 1-3 if your game becomes corrupt in future
6. Download into the SAME folder GWX.exe and the five .bin files. While there grab the v1.03 patch
7. Run GWX.exe and follow the installation prompts
8. Run GWX103.exe and follow the installation prompts
9. SH3 COMMANDER USERS: Download the GWX 1.02+ Cfg files for SH3 Commander and unzip the contents DIRECTLY into your SH3 Commander\Cfg folder.
