Crashing to desktop
 

Must say I love GWX!!
But I have a small problem.
Have a clean install patched to 1.4 and installd GWX on a 3000 mhz cpu with 1 gig ram. But it crashes WAY to often.
Almost everytime I attack a convoy it crashes to the desktop.

Anyone got any idea why?

Use a program like "EndItAll" to close all other applications befor you start SH3.
This will fix 99% of crashes.

You dont say what your graphics card is
During convoys attacks there is a heavy load on both processor and graphics
Could also possibly be a PSU issue
After I updated my graphics card I got CTD a lot or even computer reboot
Upped the PSU and that stopped

It`s a radeon x1950 series. 256 mb brand new for silent hunter 3.
400w PSU
Only game this happens in.

tried reinstalled gwx, and now it crashed right outside Bergen.

Hi,

I´ve had lots of crashes too, here´s some possible cure:

The obvious things:

- shut down (or even uninstall) any virus scanners, firewalls etc. (Windows firewall does cause SH3 to freeze or crash!)

- reduce hardware acceleration (sound) in your dxdiag-setup/soundcard settings

The less obvious thing: what about your soundcard? I had crashes with Realtek onboard sound. Make sure you have the lattest drivers. Also make sure you only use the soundfiles that are in stock SH3 OR come with GWX. I don´t know why, but one or two "home-made" soundfiles caused my system to crash.

Im useing Realtek C97? C98? onboard sound with no problems, so we can rule that out if he has the correct drivers.

Yes, it´s probably a driver issue. Anyway, I got a cheap 5.1 soundcard now and this solved some of the problems.
