Silent Hunter 3 grey wolves expansion crashes

[eriste]

I'm able to play Silent Hunter 3 with no mods installed just fine on my pc but when i have the grey wolves expansion mod installed the game crashes when loading the game world after starting a new career and starting a new patrol.

Make sure to install the 4GB patch to allow more RAM memory...

Hi eriste Welcome to Subsim when you installed GWX did you also install the 4Gig Patch and if you are using the Commander Mod did you install the Commander Mod Config

Is there a 4GB patch for the steam version?

Never mind I found it.

I've also tried activating a mod called Thomsen's Sound Pack V3.2cg but JSGME freezes when ever i try to activate it.

It's not frozen. It just takes a really long time because it is backing up and writing pretty much every audio file used in SH3.

Also how do you get the TDC dials in the attack periscope view, is it a mod and if so what mod is it?

[blackswan40]

Hi eriste try Onelifecris OLC GUI 1.2.7 with all four tdc dials Periscope screen includes full easy to follow instructions Jsgme Compatable.

Thank you Very much, I tried installing the ARB WideGui 1920x1080 V3 mod but it caused my game to crash before even getting to the game's menu screen.

[eriste]

For some reason when i try enabling the GUI mod i get a warning saying "commands_en.cfg has already been altered by the Thomsen's Sound Pack V3.2cg mod. en_menu.txt has already been altered by the Thomsen's Sound Pack V3.2cg mod. Enabling this mod may have adverse effects on your game, are you sure you wish to enable this mod?"

[blackswan40]

Hi eriste I also get warnings like that when enabling other Mods and theres no problems i would try it.
then if theres issues with the sound pack and the Olc Mod try activating them the other way round if you still have issues ie not just a popup warning but messing your game up you will have compromise which mod you must have and which Mod you can live without
its trial and error mod A ok with mods B C D but wont work with Mods E F G.

[eriste]

It looks like the GUI mod you suggested gets rid of the notepad that has you measure a ship's distance from your u-boat, the speed of the ship and at what angle the ship is in relation with your u-boat.

get a warning saying "commands_en.cfg has already been altered


"5) Thomsen, when I enable your sound pack I lose some functionalities on the keyboard, like the binoculars and other stuff.

It's very easy to fix this. Just follow these steps:

1) Disable my mod, go to my mod's folder and delete both folders "MENU" and "CFG"
2) Enable my mod back on.
3) Go to sh3/data/menu and open en_menu.txt and change the line #1052 to:

1052=System check, diesel engine start

4) Open the sh3/data/cfg/commands_en.cfg and edit it with the notepad, in line #341:

[Cmd341]
Name=WP_Target_nearest_ship
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F140002
Str=1052
Key0=0x53,Cc,"CTRL S"
Key1=0x53,c,"CTRL S"

Just copy and paste this over there. So there you go, you have the CTRL+S system start at the beggining of your patrol working with any version of commands_en.cfg and en_menu.txt, so by all means this will make V3 compatible with anything."

When I try to install the ARB WideGui 1920x1080 mod it says that it failed when i launch the TychoSh3Patch.bat, anyone know how to fix this?

[eriste]

I was able to get my SH3.exe to patch but now when I launch the game I get a message saying "cannot initialize 3D engine."

[blackswan40]

Hi eriste set your screen resolution with your Gpu not just through your desktop display settings by clicking your right mouse button.
You have more resolution options using your Gpu Nvidia Control Panel or Amd Gpu Control Panel

I've also tried activating a mod called Thomsen's Sound Pack V3.2cg but JSGME freezes when ever i try to activate it.

hi there,
I've read that thread cause I've had a lot of issues lately with my SH3 setup.
I do run mods, quite few (You can check my setup under my post - SH3 Commander - save issue).
I did encountered similar issue as You. First of - Thomsen mod likes to 'freeze' JSGME for a good 20-30 seconds when activating for the first time. It's normal. It will pass and it will work fine.
As it goes with crashing and/or unable to boot the game - You want to have clean SH3 install. Then You install GWX megamod on that install.
After that You wanna to patch Your .exe with Hsie patch. Then copy/paste TychoPATCH and patch the same exec with it. Before You realise that Your stopwatch don't start when clicked (draggable Chrono, right side of the screen) You wanna download Chrono Patch and apply it as the last patch on Your .exec. Be sure to copy clean SH3.exe file into a neutral location (desktop for exampe). Then Your game should work perfectly. (worked for me, same/similar issue before I took above steps)
Mods -
You wanna then apply Thomsen at the top of any mods (first in line).
After that - when You add ARBwideGUI - I would suggest download and enable M.E.P v6 first. Then add ARB WideGui, then M.E.P v6 VisualSensors for GWX3 and (that's important) swap AI_Sensors.dat within MODS/M.E.P v6 VisualSensors for GWX3 with AI_Sensors_GWX.dat over already existing AI_Sensors.dat.
After that You wanna run Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME) as the last mod on Your list.
It works for me. I know that I have more mods but that was crucial to even run the game without any issues. Check my post for more details. Very important is to do it from the scratch.
Also, I saw people posting 'do 4gb patch'. Hsie has 4GB applied already. When You do all the steps correctly, You should see 1.61B version of game (or something like that).
Do it clean, SHIFT+DEL all folders, including My Documents profiles, settings. With all the steps You gonna have fuctional SH3 game, all the patches, 1920/1080 resolution applied and Thomsen MOD.
I know the struggle, I did reinstall my game like 8 times before I did it right and functional.
Good Luck Mate!
P.S
You can find every mod I use or the ones You wanna/need to use under my post. Just copy/paste names from my post in google and download them. Subsim is a very happy place for any uboot freak ;)
Be sure to READ all the pdf/txt manuals so You won't f!@#k Your installation order. Take Your time, it will pay off. Happy huntin'
