Well there was typo actually it is "Modname: Unkown" and not "Modman: Unknown"

Apologize for the confusion.

I recommend removing SHIII plus any mods, in the profile stuff in your My Docs folder (I think?), and run a registry cleaner - I use Piriform's CCleaner just fine and it's free. Reinstall SHIII and latest patch, try running the game and if successful install GWX3. :yep:

Good luck, we want you out hunting in the Atlantic soon!

Well even after installing gwx 3.0 i still get CTD with Modname :Unkown.

I have a second system which is a P4 2.8 ghz using a Nvidia 5500 gfx card i think i will try it on that else i will have get of the sea and take back to the skies (which i love and will be a PPL holder soon).

I reinstalled SH3 on a different rig and then i installed GWX 3.0 now it is coming up with an error "Modname : sh3.exe" and goes back to the desktop.

This error comes after the loading bar is 100%.

Ok, have you installed latest SH3 patch? GWX needs to be on fresh install up to 1.4b.

Which SH3 patch ? If you could give me the link.

When/where did you acquire SH3? Most recent releases, including downloads currently for sale online, are already fully patched to v1.4; if your game is one of those you don't need to patch it.

Pleasure...

Further to the patch, are you running from CD or do you have the noCD 'fix' for this, and also are you installing starforce alongside SH3?

@frau kaleun

Don't remember the shop as it was quite a long time ago. But i have used GWX 2.0 without any issues.

@Herr-Berbunch

Have the NOCD fix, nope not using starforce . Do i need starforce ?

You don't WANT Starforce! :D

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, never have starforce and follow this thread if it is on your disk! http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=160118

Got a friend in Adelaide who was in STAR Force, which is acceptable. It's SA's tactical police group and he loved it jumping out of helicopters and shootin' stuff. Never one to settle in a job though he's now training to be commercial pilot! :doh:

@Herr-Berbunch,

None of the patches also install. SH3 without gwx works fine. Now i am at a loss.

GWX had worked earlier around a year back then i stopped simming, now back to simming but without GWX.

I installed it on a fresh system.
