LSH3 is the source for those bridges anyway. My next step will be to make another install and see how it runs. :sunny:

Okay, so I set up another Multi-SH3 routine and I opened up LSH3 v5. It started off well enough, but when I tried to start a career it loaded about 80-90%, sat for a couple of minutes, and crashed.

This is starting to wear me down. I'm certain it's something I'm missing, and I'm certain it's something fairly simple, but I just can't figure out what it is.

Any error msgs Steve?

Best regards.

Steve, you could have an ID conflict with models from the original installation, try comparing them all, including the environmentals.

Nothing. Just the usual "having trouble running application".

How do I do that?

I'm considering at this point dumping the entire thing, cleaning it out and starting over from scratch. It probably won't take any longer than checking everything.

Roster and Sea folders, check those in the installation against those in the Schluese mod.

I'll try to remember that for next time. For now, I've done a complete uninstall/registry clean/reinstall. I'm working now on loading something up to see if that helped.

Seeing as a fresh install of LSH crashed AND the GWX crashed?
I tend to think it's something with your system.
I say this because I just loaded version 7 to a bone stock GWX 3 and nearly crashed into the locks.
:o
No CTD and saved. I'll try loading the save next.

I have 4 gigs with an AMD 1 gig onboard switchable graphics Acer Notebook.
Running Win 7.1 64 with SH3 installed to my Desktop.

Can you give us a model number of your Laptop?

GWX was fine until I tried installing Wilhelmshaven_St Naz_Schleuse v7. v6 worked until I loaded the Historical Bridges mod.

Lenovo 20378 IDEAPAD. Main board is Lenovo Y50-70.

I ment GWX with version 7 crashed on your install.
:D

Yes, it did. And the others. :sunny:

I've tried crashing my install with version 7 by going to the lower video card, changing settings, etc.
Not happening.

I have Windows 10 installed so I guess I'll go ahead and put SH3 and GWX in that and see what happens.

I stayed away from Win 8 and 8.1
:yep:

One thing you might try if you haven't. After a complete uninstall, restart windows then defrag before you re-install

Have has no issues with either.

I completely uninstalled SH3 and did a registry clean. Reinstalled from the disc. Set up LSH3. Started it up. Crashed again.

I'm getting tired of even trying.

It certainly can be a battle sometimes :/\\!!:/\\!!

I have done quite a few personal modifications but nowhere it sounds what you have done Steve. I took a lot of what Aces has done
( has many of the mods I like ) and made it my own.

Win 10 Technical preview.
SH3 with GWX 3 ran fine.
Installed Version 7 and 4 gig patch... CTD.
Right click on SH3.exe set compatability mode to Win XP and check run as admin. RUNS FINE!
:D

Only problem is I haven't found a way to use the ATI graphics yet. So it's running on the cheapy Intel graphics.

!
 

Oh, you blithering genius! It worked! LSH3 is running fine now! I'll work on that, then load GWX as well. We'll see how it goes.

Thank you! :rock:

I reported in post #25 that I was having that same problem. Online I found someone who showed me that fix. If you can bring up the ATI Control Panel there should be a button marked "Make This The Default Graphics Card". At least it worked that way for this rig's Nvidia card.

The Technical preview has the wrong drivers installed.
I'm DLing the Acer version for Win 8 64 now to try.

Guess I got that goofy sticker over
<- there for a reason.
:hmmm:
:haha:

Having gotten the career mode to work in LSH3 (thanks again, Jeff), I decided to explore that supermod a bit. The first very cool thing I discovered is that they included FB Sales's Simfeeling 6-Dials mod, one of my very favorites! With LSH3 I don't have to fiddle with all the adjustments to the Menu.ini - just activate it with JSGME and you're ready to go! The same is true of the OLC_GUI. Of course the two don't work together, but if you're a fan of either one you can get them installed with no muss or fuss.

One of the things I don't like so far is that the Weather Report is still attached to the Navigator, so you can find out what it's like from 150 meters under the sea. GWX has that shifted to the Watch Officer, so you can only get the report on the surface.

Still, that's a small thing. Kiel is more like the real thing in layout, and the Canal is there with all the proper bridges. Tomorrow I'll reinstall GWX and see if the Schluese mod v7 will work now. Of course that mod was taken from LSH3, so if it doesn't I can have fun with that one. We'll see.

Got GWX reinstalled, and the Wilhelmshaven, St Naz, Schluese etc v7 installed, and it runs fine now. Tomorrow I can start the long process of installing all the other stuff I like. :sunny:
