SH3 with GWX3 and SH3Commander3.2 "stops working" on Windows 7

[Fozzy22]

Hi all,

Not sure if anyone else has come across the same problem. It's a little random but the game quits back to desktop and a message box comes up saying "Silent Hunter 3 has stopped working, windows will try to find a solution blah blah". Now I installed SH3 Commander 3.2 and then installed GWX3 Gold so i'm not sure if this is the problem. I've got the GWX3 config files fix for Commander 3.2 but not installed that yet, could that be the problem?

Does this happen if you launch sh3 without using commander?

It's definitely a problem.

If you're going to run GWX3 and Commander you must install the necessary .cfg files for using them together, it's not something you can put off and still expect everything to work right in the meantime. :DL

No this is when i launch the game using commander.

Hehe wasn't sure whether i needed the fix. I've installed it now, so i'll let y'all know if it does it again or not. :salute:

Well it seemed a little different on loading the game again although on attempting to take a screenshot with "Prt Scrn" button it crashed again with same message lol. :o

Are you using any other mods? I'm not sure but I don't think PrtScrn works for screenshots in stock+GWX, I think it's Ctrl+F11 but I could be wrong.

I know when I installed the Hi-Res fix it specified that it changed the printscreen function to work with the PrtScrn button whereas before it was tied to something else entirely.
