war ace 3.0 problems

[robbythesub]

Has anyone else had a problem with getting this to run after enabling?

I have tried everything but it still wont go.

I have a new install, modded to 1.4 and no other mods enabled but this one.

The game starts fine but then I get the stock game intro scenes up to and including starting a mission- is this normal?

Any offers of help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

[robbythesub]

Thanks for your quick reply.

I have installed it with jsgme but will try the way you suggest and let you know what happens.

Hi!
If you choose JSME to install WAC3.0 you have to be patience!
It depends on your system how long it takes to copy all files but it may take 15-20 minutes.
If you wanna be sure all files are installed on the right way, copy all files manually to their folder like Mikhayl said.

With WAC3.0 installed you will also get a new intro movie, new loadings screens and new menu screens ;)

what sytem specs do you have?

[Task Force]

both,

E8400

Nvidia 8800gts

3 gigs of ram

Vista 32bit.

I think I isntalled it rong. Im gona try agian, I think I might have made a mistake when installing WAC.:up:

[HanSolo78]

Hm... with your system you should get much better FPS. I have a C2duo and a 8800gt and I get about 20 FPS in big harbours like Wilhelmshaven and more than 60 FPS at sea with vsync enabled.

[Task Force]

hmmm, might have been a bad install. (I was haveing issues with the Conpressed files also):yep:

[HanSolo78]

but your resolution and driver settings are also important. what settings do you have there? I use 1280x1024 resolution and 4x antialiasing & 8xaf

[Task Force]

lets see. my resolution is set at

1680x1050 at 60 hz

and the most recent drivers.

Im pretty sure I installed it rong.;)

16 af

8Q aa

[Task Force]

yea, I had to have done something rong.

Im getting great FPS in Gwx with thomsons water 4.0. In harbor.

I got mine going by manually copying the new game files into the SH3 folder rather than via jsgme and it worked fine, the intro and a training mission, so I saw how glorious it was.
Trouble is, I then loaded a new campaign and it bombed to the desk top which I am still trying to fix!
How frustrating!

Has anyone else had this?

Thanks guys :know:

Sounds still like a bad install to me!

Be sure all 3 .7zip archives arre from one server, do not mix from different servers.
After a clean install you definitely can start the campaign ;)

[geosub1978]

SOS the unzipped folder has to be some 4,53GB. Also, try to unload your memory with everything not needed (start with 250MB max). Do defrags and diskcleanups and most important: 1680x1050 is too much! Try a 4/3 ratio in 4/3 aspect, even in wide monitor. Nvidias can do that. This way you will have much better FPS!GUARANTEED!

Try a clean install, uninstall game, remember to erase the sh3 folder at My Documents... defrag your hard drive, install game, install patch, and do... "copy and paste" of the WAC files... do not use any program to install. Works fine. :up:

[robbythesub]

Hi Guys

Thanks for your messages, much appreciated.

I now have it running smoothly, and I needed to use the MultiSH3 save game splitter (as I have the game also on another drive), then loaded it via SH3 commander and it runs beautifully.
If anyone has any problems, and wants to know my settings etc, I am happy to reply.

Thanks again:up:

WAC is just wonderful ! :up:

[geosub1978]

WAC is just wonderful ! :up:

Because it has life, action and good graphics. With a good video card it is very good.

The only trubble is that you need a merchant full of torpedoes following your submarine!

[robbythesub]

Thats true, but each torpedo does lots of damage eh?

Has anyone found a problem with the game crashing if you increase the number of crew when going back to port, and then starting a new mission?

[geosub1978]

Sounds intresting. I had some ctds with no obvious reason, after loading a new patrol. I hadn't report anything because I couldn't find any relation concerning the involved ships, harbors or dates. Maybe this could be a reason, I always do some crew changes.

[HanSolo78]

Hm.. I can not confirm this bug... just made a patrol and after patrol some crew changes without problems or crashes.

For some reason WAC 3 allowed the selection of more crew members than the game actually permitted. This would certainly cause a CTD.

It is OK to change the personnel around - provided that the numbers are not increased beyond the numbers the game will allow for each sub type.

There is a fix for this:-

[robbythesub]

I have been playing it again, and still find it very glitchy compared to GWX which plays smoothly and without any ctd at all.

WAC is superb and plays very smoothly when working, but when I return to port, and then start the next mission, it seems to ctd and it went tonight in the middle of the game at sea, for no obvious reason.

This is most annoying and I really dont know what is causing it.

This is a superb game and I was just getting into it again!

If anyone else reads this and has the same problem, I would like to know!

Many thanks

[HanSolo78]

Sounds that you have some problems... I just made 2 patrols without any problem yesterday... also I had no feedback of repeating CTDs except one area near Calais, but this has been fixed in the bug fix.

greetings

[robbythesub]

Yes I cant work our why, my machine is well up to spec for the game (2,4 Gig processor, nvidea 7900 GS graphics and 3 gig RAM) and as I say, it plays really smoothly most of the time.

I still think that any changes made to the sub or c rew in port make this problem happen when launching a new mission!

Very strange!

Thanks

bonjours monsieurs!

yes, that is known. the arado has this small accident.. but you will only see it if you stay in port ;) the fumo problem you can solve if you installthe addon "No DF antenna_Twisty periscope" from our download servers at filefront. the gauges error still is not solveable but only appears when loading a savegame.
