GWX

[Greggorio]

I tried to download it but it says "please insert disk 7" on the downloader.

I didn have a look around for an answer but the sheer amount of information on this forum is staggering

There is a lot of dead DL link here so.


I just tested there all good.

thanks :)

if I've never installed any mods at all can I just run this without doing a fresh install on the game?

If you never installed other Mod, yes you can .. No need fresh installation
Just maybe is better you delete sh3 folder in documents
:salute:

:O you mean I'll have to start my career all over again.

I'd got attached to Hans Gruber and the rest of them like Wolfgang with the gimpy leg.

haha ok.

anything so I don't have to patrol the middle of the Atlantic when I'm based in Lorient.

[Greggorio]

urghhh I can do signle missions but if i try and started a new career it crashes on the loading screen after i click to start the new patrol

[Fanuboat]

Thats why its always better to do a fresh install. so.......

Unistall SH III
delet all folder related to sH III including in my documents.

reboot pc.

Install SH III, start the game, if error lower resolution screen and start the game....

Start school mission, when in game leave the game.

Install 4 giga patch then GWX and SH III commander also.

What Operating system are you using on your computer that the game is being installed upon?
WINXP, WINVista, WIN8.1, WIN10, ????

BTW: Welcome to SUBSIM Greggorio! :Kaleun_Salute:

[Greggorio]

Windows 10 and the install is from steam so there is no patch that I'm aware of

I got it working by turning compatibility mode to XP sp3

butttt it was fine in game, I'm chasing a convoy stealthily (well I'm going hell for leather on the surface to get in front of it) and at higher time compression the games get very glitchy. Then as I neared the convoy it crashed again. I mean i could turn settings down (I mean my pc is complete **** but I wouldbnt have thought SH3 was that taxing)

I guess you are playing GWX here and not the stock game only?

Make sure your vanilla game is v.1.4 without Starforce before playing vanilla, or before installing any mods, I don't know what's the case in Steam.
It's worth to take time and read the big manual of GWX, especially you need to download and use additional files for SH3 Commander to be used with this mod (otherwise crashes will occur!). There is a dedicated GWX homepage where you can get these files.
If installed correctly with all pre-requisites, GWX is one of the most *stable* megamods.

For TC: I would only go to x512 if no ships are nearby and you are somehwat away from ports with heavy traffic; when ships are nearby I would go at max. x64. If you skip this then the game may crash sometimes (just save before and you are ok). Then if serious damanges are to be repaired in your sub, never go to high TC, it can get damages worse...
Also refrain from ALT-Tabbing out of the game, SH series don't like it and some strange things can happen.

[Greggorio]

wow what a difference GWX makes.

I'm merrily trying to evade a destroyer as I can hear the convoy slipping away when the destroyer hunting me and his pal get sunk one after the other. I assumed they'd collided somehow until I realised there is another sub nearby. Haha when you've played stock SH3 for a while it's completely mental seeing a friendly ship
