6.7???

The only Grey Wolves I've seen are the original and the update-1.1.

Now I'm even more confused than usual.

[codmander]

so 1.7 and the update? original?

yes 6 parts than an update

[Sailor Steve]

I have no idea. hopefully Kpt Lehman will see this and comment soon. He's the main GW guy and can give better advice.

I actually use bits and pieces from several mods; sort of a do-it-yourself Unified mod.

1. Read the readme's

2. Check here for the official thread

http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=50034

Just to be on the safe side, unzip in the mods folder the 6 parts and then install via JSGME. Run the game too see if everything is OK. Then unzip the 1.1 GW patch and install again via JSGME.

[Sailor Steve]

Okay, now I get it. Codmander, it's not 6.7, it's part 6, and it's a 7z, or 7 Zip file. If you use it that way you do need to download all six parts. The update is 1.1, but is also in 7z format.

If you get it from www.u-boot.realsimulation.com you should get the entire thing in one compressed package (at least that was the case with the original), and only have to get the update separately.

Sorry for the confusion, and I hope this explains things.

totally cofused dont see an all in one- mod installer didnt work well/at all so i unzipped mods and dumped them whereever they needed to go tryed it but didnt work never a prob with mods or rub just confused on what files to install

[Sailor Steve]

Did you unzip them? You can install each 'Data' folder right into the main SHIII folder and you shouldn't have any problems.

[codmander]

yes so
clean install
1.4 patch
gw part 1 threw 6
than update?

all unzipped and into sh3 is this correct?

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Hi Codmander,

delete the "SH3" folder in your "My Documents" and re-start the game.

Also, there is no "all-in-one" install file.

[codmander]

nice---but no-go gets right to campaign - i get a error report ((send to microsoft )) :(

Can you post your system specs please?

[codmander]

compaq--os xp home
1.4 cpu
650mb ram'
ati g card
runs sh3 fine with rub 1.45 never a problem not a top sysyem but enough

[codmander]

weird said in my local disc ;c the sh3 size was over 3500mb 2500 was the norm somthing wrong here or that much bigger with gw?

[Kpt. Lehmann]

compaq--os xp home
1.4 cpu
650mb ram'
ati g card
runs sh3 fine with rub 1.45 never a problem not a top sysyem but enough

GW is somewhat demanding in the graphics and sound department and requires that your system meets the "recommended specs" to run GW.

I don't like telling you this, but you need a faster CPU and at least 1 gig of RAM... preferably dual channeled in BIOS to run GW comfortably. I'm not familiar with your graphics card but SH3 recommended specs also call for a 256mb card.

That being said... you can often run SH3 on "lesser than recommended" machines...

However, GW adds 1.8 gb worth of data for your machine to crunch. From what I can tell, your machine is choking on it.

I have been there my friend... and I sympathize completely.

[codmander]

bummer the size of sh3 is quite bigger with gw so that maybe it unless files arent gettin replaced or somthin guess i will stick with rub a dub till this pc blows ups :-?
