Gwx 3 Installation HELP

[Ritchie Rich]

I don't know if this is ment to go here but here goes...

I bought SH3 about 2 years ago for my laptop off steam and I've not stopped playing it since. I've always wanted this GWX3 mod but i'm not the greatest with computers and I have also I've read through forums and there is a lot of people who have problems installing it... so I put it off.

Bought a new pc a while ago and today I thought I'd have a go at getting this mod to work.
So I've installed the new copy off steam never played before on this pc. I've read that steam patches it to 1.4 and I've been on the game to check and it says 1.4 in the corner. I then downloaded the installation files it says It has detected mods but I have none. I've tried to move it to another file where the installation program is in and it says the same thing.

I'm confused and need your help!

Thanks a lot :)

Hey thanks a lot with all your help and greetings, it was much appreciated and I got GWX 3 working which I'm happy about but another problem has occurred lol.

I played for a couple of hours and it was running fine, I thought I was set. but then as I was in time compression full it crashed.. and now every time I go to load a career it crashes at about 90% of the loading screen.

Any more suggestions?

Cheers

It sounds like your system specs may be a little short on RAM (memory).

The crash has most likely corrupted a file so try starting a new career and if that doesn't work, uninstall the game, delete the SH3 folder in Docs, clean out the registry and reinstall.

I rarely go over 128 time compression, unless I'm headed out for operation Drumbeat, and in the middle of the Atlantic where little to no traffic is expected. There is just too much that can happen going any higher than that.

Looks like its fixed itself, I can safely go to 512 time compression and everything else seems to be running fine.

I'll just keep a look out for that anyway thanks guys.
