Problem GWX 2.0.

[Splot]

I have a problem with the GWX 2.0. The problem is that while the game loads properly the menu is a pitch black screen. Only the mouse cursor is visible and it leaves a trace when moved. The music doesn't play as well. When I press 'Esc' only grey 'yes' and 'no' appear so I can at least quit properly. ;)

I use a 8600GTS card and didn't have any problems with the previous GWX version.

I also use the resolution override .dll file and the compatibility manager and I thought that could be the problem, though it worked with the previous GWX. I deleted the SH3 database I created earlier, but it didn't help. I also toggled the 'Das Boot" movie and the alternative load screen from JSGME. No help.

Maybe the authors of the mod heard of similar problems?

S.O.S.

S.O.S. Uninstall K-lite codec if you have that one installed, and try another version of that codec (older) or try another don't know what I may suggest to you but the older version of K-lite codec solved same problem in my case. Problem is in new version of K-lite codec.

Oh, ok!

I've already begun downloading fresh stuff for a new instalation of WinXP. What version of k-lite are You using?

I'm using a K-lite codec version 2.26. Problems you described I had with K-lite v.3.4.0.

[Splot]

Hah, it works fine now. Thanks for the help!

[poor sailor]

I'm glad to hear that! :up:

The problem is not K-Lite itself but the latest release of ffdshow that K-Lite contains.
FFDShow Beta 3 is the latest oficial release that does not have that problem.

I've tested ffdshow rev.1431 and it works too. But no need to uninstall the recent K-Lite codec pack, launch start/programmes/k-lite codec pack/configuration/codec tweak tool, disable ffdshow filter and the game should work again (I'm not sure but I think it could be done during the installation).

Million thanks!!!! :up: It did work well...I think SH4 had same problem, it solved it as well...:sunny:

Hmmm, I'm having same problem with my SH3, I will test that ddfshow disabling-thingy. Lets see if it works.

[Philipp_Thomsen]

Theres another way to solve the problem. Rename te folder "movies" to something else. Done.

[Kipparikalle]

Wonderfull! The game works like a dream!
Thank you lovely subsim community! Let's make it out! RIGHT NOW!

uboat 1.2 also does this if you remove some of the map features after installing it.
