Balz is REAL!?

:o

Hi Brag,
You've got to have patch 1.04b installed before you load GWX. Your screen shot shows you're trying to upgrade stock version 1.0.

Check Jimbuna's brief again

Good Luck:up:

Good Grief! How did that happen?

Heil Adm. Brag, do what Jimbuna has instructed. Don't worry about this version problem. Just delete manually all SH3 files from old game directory (including main folder). It happend to me many times, so take it easy and don't worry. If you're not satisfied with all those replays go to forum, there's lots of staff about solving this problem. Usually after every install (the way Jimbuna .....etc.) I superseded new files C:/My dokuments/SH3/career created after instalation or even the whole folder (that's better) with the old one - backed up earlier. Up to now everything works good, .... oh maybe except that annoying "your base has been changed to Kiel" message:damn:

@Brag

When you have completed the operation in my previous post up to and including line 4...'- *delete* the \My Documents\SH3 folder '....insert your game disc and prompt it to 'uninstall'....you'll be suprised the amont of files that are still hidden unseen in there.

Now carry on with the remainder of my instructions in my original post :up:

Thanks Jimbuna and everyone else. Today is dedicated to fixing this. Will let you know results.

It may be Brag that you have delete all files containing any reference to Balz. Its hard to let go I know but I think I speak for everyone here when I say....

WOO HOO!!! :D

The triple GRRRRRRRS :damn: :damn: :damn:

On one try got as far as the the GWX installation --it told me I didn't have patch 1.4 installed

cleaned up the whole mess, deleted. Tried to instal 1.4 from Game shadow. Back to what the screenie shows.

The de_help.txt file is a list of commands in German (notice I've learned to find and open files ;) )

I'm at the end of my wits, could I maybe hide or delete this file?



-

I hope you used the disc in 'uninstall' mode :hmm:

If you did, you should have absolutely nothing, no residue left in your pooter. :nope:

Delete the file if all else fails....what more damage can it do :lol:

Thanks Jim--I took 2 files out and hid them. The patch installed--now moving to GWX.

Do I need to instal GWX then GWX 1,o3?

Or go straight with 1,03?

I have file back ups labelled GWX, GWX 02, GWX1.03

FOLLOW POST #9 :damn:

GWX prior to 1.03 :lol: ;)

Brag I hope you scanned your computer with an anti-virus program cos you could have a nasty virus that buggerd up SH3 in the first place. Even if you manage to install SH3 back to it former glory you could still end up with the problem of the missing .dll........ :yep:

Yup, did virus scan.

Woooooooo Hoooooooo! It's working in da GWX!!! Just did a harbour tour. And now I get the Requem music at the beginning (never hear it before) so something was wrong with previous instal.

And gues whose carreer been saved :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Thanks everyone for the help, concern and support while the drama unfolded.

"Kptlt. Balz, do you have something to say to our fellow Kaleuns?"

"Ja, I, Balz The Magnificent, I am out of that limbo in a folder. Arent you all happy I'm back?" :smug:

Err....no not really :damn:

:rotfl:

Oh Jim .. you big tease!:rotfl:

Mien Gott in Himmel! Now that Balz has been brought back from the dead what will he be like?
