CTD issue after reinstalling SH3
 

Ok, after reinstalling SH3, I patched it, installed GWX and the 1.02 patch.
After starting it, and starting a new career the loading screen comes up and then it will CTD. And will get the standard error in windows.

I will try to do the following:
uninstall SH3
SH3 Commander
defrag the HDD
and reinstall everything.

Any other suggestions?

I wish you luck. I would do it in this order. Clean install, patch then add the GWX addon. Also I think you need to install the 1.04 patch.

Don't forget to delete all the files associated with SH3 which are in your Documents & Settings folders. If you uninstall SH3 and leave those files intact, it'll cause you to crash, and other similar problems.

There is some good stuff in the main patch thread as well:D

AND the residual files left in your SilentHunterIII folder. Uninstalling SH3 does NOT remove all files - files installed by the 1.4b patch and subsequent mods are left behind, to cause problems for the next unsuspecting install.

I got some good news, after uninstalling and defragging the hdd, I reinstalled SH3, patched it and ran it before installing GWX. It is now working just fine.

Now to install GWX.:D
