Try playing it on a Pentium 3 933Mhz 512MB ram, 256MB Video Card.....Takes forever to load and gets quite choopy at times.......but still happily play it :D.
Using GWX Plus this is my first post, since I have been a lurker for a long time hehe.... |
Great words of advice, all, I thank ye again!
Cleaning up this PC before I do the installs necessary; diskkeeper, etc. Then, to sea! |

May your stay be a long one. (At Subsim... not the galley.) I really hate it when things get choopy too.;) |
I'm just glad my onion-chooping and potato-peeling days are behind me now.
No, it looks like I'm a loader now. I've never lifted an 88 shell before, or a 105 for that matter, but I don't imagine it could be much harder than holding up the 55lb practice slugs aboard Taney. ;) |
Thanks Kpt. Lehmann
Oh boy onions!!! I love how they make me cry..:dead: Just hope that the tears dont drop onto the new computer I am building which is a AMD 64 X2 6000+ 3Ghz, Geforce 7900 256MB SLI, 2GB DDR2 Ram, computer:rock: And of course SH3+GWX will be the first thing that goes on after the PC is set up.Mawhahah And choopy would probably be more accurate, kind of like trying to chop meat up but having to saw the bones that are to thick. Anyway I would rather have to peel potatoes or chop onions than go back |
OK, last thing before I sleep, then tomorrow I sail!
There are three files listed on the GWX d/l page for the excellent SH3 Commander utility. Question 1: The cfg files go in the cfg folder (duh)... but the existing cfg files from the old SH3 install... do I need them there, also, or should I back 'em up and remove those files only from the cfg folder? Question two: The other two files for SH3 Commander... the skins pack and the random data offset: Where do I need to drop these? That's the only thing that I didn't find on the GWX site (Maybe I should RTFM again?) Thanks again! |

One of us will have to get back with you on your second question. |

To install you will need to unzip and copy all files into your \SH3 Commander\Date\ folder. When you launch SHIII from SH3 Commander the appropriate skins for your patrol date will be copied into your SHIII installation. See the SH3 Commander documentation for more information on installing and using this skin pack. Due to the large number of skins being replaced you can expect SH3 Commander to take several minutes to copy the files into the SHIII folders. You will not be able to view paint schemes changing with time by browsing the dates in the museum, in SHIII this only shows changes in weapons loadout. To view skins for a different date you will need to exit SHIII and launch the game from SH3 Commander for that date. |
For those with not so fast pc's like me, there was also another way to make SH3/GWX run far more smoothly.
Can't remember the thread though... :-? I do know it meant loading Windows into RAM so everything else is totally dedicated to GWX. It did improve the performance quite a bit. |

Gentlemen and ladies.
Where does one begin with a letter or praise? To the entire GWX devcrew... you all have done an outstanding job turning a good sim into a simply phenomenal one. SHIII finally has some "life" to it! Had to run the game once to set up the main.cfg file for SH3 ommander, so I took 'er out for a quick cruise. Left Kiel in Sep 39 in a VIIB, at night. Screwed up the Kiel Canal routing, so I just puttered around a bit until I could get SH3 Commander sorted (which I have now, thanks to the above info from that Extraordinary Gentlemen himself, Herr Lehmann). Load times were a bit longish, but we already determined that would be the case, given my system's limitations. But well worth the wait! Merchants from many nations in the German harbor - as there would be, rather than the ghost harbors we've seen in stock. Fishermen gathered together in a general area, out of the shipping channel - as there would be! Aircraft patrolling overhead... a nice touch! Graf Zeppelin nearby at dockside... wow. Lights on in the city, on the ships... this was 0100 or 1 Sep 39 - the last moments of peace in the old world, with the gravity of what would soon be happening in Poland still conjecture. Gentlemen, simply astounding - and I've not even gone to sea yet! Trust me, there's a six pack waiting for each of you, should you make it to my neck of the woods. (Well, for those who're old enough, anyway.):cool: Now, enough of my prattle. I've got a ship to prep! Thanks again, all of you, for your work, and all of your help. It is sincerely, and greatly, appreciated. |

Just wait, jimbuna. I've not yet gone to sea (working on a potential install problem atm) but if some of the tales I've heard are true, I may yet be cussing you guys once I get out there.:p
|
Good on yer Growler!:up:
my suggestion, check out Poland first :D, give the crew a shakedown cruise and a little target practice near Gdynia. Then if you feel like challenging GWX go through Der Kanal toward your patrol area. be early about it though or it might be a little TOO challenging :-? Oh and do please report any errors you make based on earlier stock experience, preferably humorous fatal ones :D My worst mistake was taking on an armed trawler with my deckgun in a type IX and getting my rudder blown off with the first shell:nope: that got me very thoroughly sunk |
I am in the process of downloading the GWX files right now, and after reading so much about it, I can't wait to get to punchin' holes in the ocean. Thanks in advance to all those who made the Mod possible, I know how much hard work was involved.
I am running a Frankenstein PC, 1.6g p4, 512ram, 128mb geforce 3 ti200, so I know I will have the slow loads, and slow harbor effect, but I am not worried, as long as I can function out at sea. I have been playing the stock SH3 for about 10 months, and thoroughly enjoying it, but I am anxious to see the new world of GWx. Thanks for all the tips here, will save me lots of time trying to install everything properly. |
