one download for GWX ?
 
will there be a one download option for gwx2. the way i did the first gwx from gameshadow. i have to admit i get confused with .bin files and so the one download option would be good for me.

cheers

I downloaded GWX the first week under the donation period. What I did was download the files one at a time. If you do so in an orderly fashion, it needn't be complicated at all. I suggest you download the .exe file first, as it is the smallest. Then, download the bin files in this order:1, 2, 3, etc until you have them all. From that point all you have to do is click the .exe and it will do all the work for you. Simply create a folder where you will store the downloaded files. As you click to download each file, direct the download to that folder.

At this moment, there's is an torrent option, which comes in one folder. :up:

Have you ever reached for the phone to make a call... and the person you were going to contact... ringed you up?

GameShadow's CEO Tony Treadwell, contacted me earlier in the week, on the same evening that I was about to message him. (That was almost spooky!) Quite a nice guy there... and the relationship is beneficial to all involved.

Yes, there will be a single-file GWX download available at GameShadow soon. I'm not sure exactly when.

thanks all,
might - just might have another go at the .bin files.

i seriously cocked it up last time, to such a point that some one here suggested formating my hard drive with the problems that were coming up: at that point i turned it all off and went to the pub, then bed.

at present i seem to have a clean install of sh3 patched to 1.4. i've had no error messages - they always make my heart sink !, and would really like to get gwx2 up and running. it's just that i'm cautious - nervous about cocking it all up again, if you get my drift...

i think the one download-install would be good for the likes of me !

cheers :up:

Before you add GWX 2
Make a copy of your shiney new install
That way you have a ready made back up

bbw, sorry, dont know how to do backups - never made one.

do i copy clean install onto a disk - something like that. if it is what are the steps to achieve this ?

thanks

Create a folder and call it, for example 'backup', then copy and paste your installation into it :up:

ahh !

that easy eh? :hmm:

go to prog. files and copy sh3 folder from there - n' paste it into new folder ?


just doing this now, says it takes about 7mins

Jimbuna 12-16-07 03:48 PM

Make sure it is only the original installation WITHOUT ANYTHING ADDED other than the 1.4b patch :yep:

Jimbuna 12-16-07 04:44 PM

On Gameshadow now as one download. Hope you got broadband though. Gonna take a hell of a long time to D/L 1.2GB with dial up :D

I was login into game shadow for 1.04 update and gwx 2.0 up and about a 3 hour install with my 1 mb dsl connection. I downloaded the File set last night so i didn't try the gameshadow Mod.

Johnnie 12-17-07 09:56 PM

I can't find anything but GWX (original) at Game Shadow. Help anyone.

Also, I can't seem to get to any downloads at Game Shadow. To access the downloads, do you need to first download the Game Shadow software ??

Thanks.
