About a year ago I do not play GWX 3.0 (I prefer the NYGM), but from what I've read you tried using the 4GB-Patch?

Best regards. :salute:

Humm...its a long time I don't play Sh3 too. I must research more about the pach you are talking about...im not sure if I can use to play Sh3 GWX 3.0 Gold. I have 8 Gb DDR3 in my system cant be lack of ram don't you think!?

(Obrigado)

SH3 needs the 4 gig patch to access more ram cause it's an old program and does not see all that ram.

It says: "If you have a 64bit OS and 3 GB or more ram try the 4GB patch".

Humm...there is a lot o logical in it Privateer, Ligne Maginot thank you for your help and the link very use full, Im ready start to play sh3 gwx 3.0 do you think I can install the patch (at this moment im in dock ready for start my 3 war patrol) at this moment, or I must make a fresh install of the game?

[HW3]

You can install it now without reinstalling the game. It patches the SH3 .exe only.:salute:

[Ligne Maginot]

To be safe, uses a clean install.

By the way here's something that might interest you

Auuu...what a great relief HW3...I wasn't interested to reinstall the sh3 GWX 3.0 gold at this time mate...in my first war patrol I sunk the H.M.S Hood in a fast and powerful task force... :D

P.S. Thank you very much for all your help, guys...
After the war if someone need a refugee status in Portugal please give a call may be I can introduce you guys in the country disguise of gypsys...:D

SH3 needs the 4 gig patch to access more ram cause it's an old program and does not see all that ram.
IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag will be turn on... and program can use greater range of virtual address space for proceses... up to 4 GB.

Microsoft:
"On 64-bit editions of Windows, 32-bit applications marked with the IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag have 4 GB of address space available."

[Red Heat]

Thank you Anvart... :up:

I'm playing SH3 GWX 3.0 and im using all so the merchant fleet 3.2 mod and i detect a strange detail when i playing...for example: whem i detect a merchant and if im using the Uzo the Id of the ship its show was a code...the correct its show the type of the ship like large merchant, or other. And the same thing is show in the log book after you end your patrol...

Another problem witch i detect it was when you torpedo a enemy ship and you get the message "she going down" the true is the ship take a lot of time to sunk, you must use the deck gun to accelerate the process...this is normal? Thanks in advance...

I do not know if it is compatible with MFM 3.2 (I believe so).

Best Regards. :salute:

[Red Heat]

Thanks mate I will try to get more information and then I will try...
May me fixe my problem. :salute:

[Madox58]

Once you get the 'going down' message you get credit.
Why waste ammo to speed it up?
:hmmm:

[Red Heat]

I know what you mean privateer...
But it was the first time im using this mod and I just feel strange taking to much time for the sinking ships go down and of course I get the credit but one time I use the deck gun to finish her off just a experiment and analyse the results of it. I feel nervous when a ship don't go down... :D
