DAS IST DER HAMMER !!! HAN !! macht sich von SOLO zu EINZIGARTIG !!!:yeah:

LOL

He was never Solo, and yes he is Unique!:up:

... Badly... Today i want to test again the new Sub Pens and i've get an CTD.
@ JC i tryed the 4gb Patch, but after patching it Starforce won't let me start the game anymore because of Copyright or Virus. Any Idea someone?:06:
:nope::wah:

[Edit]: What wondering me exactly is that you useing HanSolo's 4gb Patch for Vista/7
i thought you have XP Pro SP3?

What starforce?? :D

Mh, now i tryed it without the new Pens activated and it also didn't worked aswell, i will check some other mods, it should'nt belong to the new Sub Pens they're working.

[Edit]: Ok, i've got good and bad News.:)
It's not the new Sub Pen's fault here a Pic of my Boat VIIC @ St.Nazaire with the new Pens.

The new FM Interior makes the CTD but only in the VIIC Strange...
but it makes me happier when i think off it's a Beta.
Thanks again for your superb Sub Pens Hansolo! :salute:
(I will post this better in the Dieselroom Thread so it's fixed in the Final release:D.)

The 4GB patch was originally designed for Vista, but it just so happens to work for all Windows products, because all Windows products have a limit of 2GB (except for maybe 64bit, that's one thing I am clueless about). I have XP Home, and I have to use both the 4GB Patch for the Sh3.exe and the 3GB Switch for the boot.ini

Ok, thanks. :ping:

In stock you started inside the pen. The GWX team changed it because the Kiel pens weren't built until almost the end of the war, and when they were they were in a whole different part of the harbor.

Starting inside the pens where they are in the game and before 1944 is unhistoric.

Yes, correct ! Please read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_pen

Hey mate ,

sorry just arrived from work, and am
reading all the stuff.


OK

This is what I have done by order.

- Applied the 3 GB patch in the Boot.ini
- Applied the HS WAC Patch to the Desktop Shortcut and to the
EXE inside the SHIII folder in the original Game directory.

And everything works fine.

I had removed the Starforce before the installation of the GWX3
And applied also before the GWX install the NoDVD Files...

If you have probs with your tools For the SF removal And the
NoDVD files I am sending you Via PM now the link to download
the ones I have.

Hope it helps.:salute:

Also, the SF Removal Tool and NoCD files are available here as well...

Thanks guys, i will d/l it for my next Installation. :salute:

Hey I forgot a litlle detaill.

After install the SHIII I launched it before applying patching it to 1.4b
cause it asks you for the game CD Key code the first time you run it,
I found out that if you apply the Patches and SF Removal tool and
No DVD patch the game will CTD.

So Install SHIII launch it to the menu, and then exit and apply the
game patches until 1.4b then apply the SF removal tool, the prompt
window will ask you to restart your PC, and the after restart apply the
NoDVD patch, and you are ready to install GWX3 or what ever you want.:up:

Regarding the Vista/Win7 patch (I'm using Win XP Pro), I noticed in the pdf manual the following:
I assume I apply the patch to SH3.exe and edit the boot.ini to look like the following:
Can someone confirem this please?:hmmm:

Yep that is it:salute:

Thanks, I will edit the boot.ini file first, chew my nails, and reboot!!:oops::yep:

OK Relax it does nothing bad...:03:

Keep a copy of the file somewhere!:03:

Well all went ok with editing the boot.ini but patching the SH3.exe file causes major glitches:
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...patchprobs.jpg
I replaced with the original and works well!:up:
Also because the sh3.sdl WAC file differs from mine I had to edit my version with S3D and add the extra sounds, tested and also now works well!!:yep:

I guess the 3GB patch may have different effects on different systems. Just like the fps hit that Han mentioned about the Sub Pen mod, it only seems to last about 30 seconds for me, then I get the same fps as before.

Reece, are you running WAC or GWX, you mentioned the sdl file so I'm thinking the latter? I'm sure there is not a perfect match between Sub Pens and GWX, and whatever other mods you have enabled. The boot.ini may only be needed by WAC users, since WAC is so large.

I am running my own super-mod, it has bits from GWX2.1, GWX3, NYGM, can't think of them all, somewhere around 150 mods!!:oops: Since the boot.ini is a system file I thought that this alone might allow SHIII to use 3Gb instead of 2Gb, and the Vista/Win7 patch to utilize 4Gb on those systems.:hmmm:
