I installed GWX 2.1 + Apr. 26th bugfix + OCLE without OCL's GUI, and everything was working fine...
... until yesterday.
Because I have begun a new career at WaW, I fiddled around with SH3 Commander. Perhaps a bit too much, as SH3 began to crash on me: The red loading line remained stuck in the middle and crashed as I tried to begin a campaign on August 1939.
So, I uninstalled SH3 and made sure the both Registry and the SH3 folder in My Documents were cleared, and I reinstalled clean. SH3, then the patch, GWX 2.1, the bugfix, OCLE, and SH3Commander (plus the cfg files).
However, it crashed again, this time almost at the end of the loading time.
I reinstalled four times yesterday night, and four times it crashed to desktop at the exact same spot. Weirdly, the only time it didn't crash was when I started a career with no mod whatsoever loaded via JSGME.
Here is my order of install :
- Uninstall everything related to SH3, including cleaning the Registry and deleting the folder in My Documents. Sometimes I would even reboot the PC.
- Install SH3 from the disk
- Install the 1.4b patch
- Install GMX 2.0
- Install GMX 2.1
- Install the April 26th bugfix (instead of loading it via JSGME, I paste directly in the main SH3 folder
- Extract the OCL's JSGME-enabled mods in the Mods folder
- Enable the mods via JSGME.
- Launch the game
- Start New Career
- Load the first mission
- Game crashes when the line reach the last fifth of the loading line...
What amazes me is that, until yesterday when I fiddled around with SH3Commander, everything loaded fine. Now, it makes me so upset that, without having changed anything in my install files, the game does not want to load when it should. Now I am redownloading the files to install again, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
PS. : I use AlacrityPC to make sure that useless programs do not run in the background. I even set SH3 at "High" priority for memory allocation.
