gwx running error ?
 

hello i installed gwx like it said and when i try running it it gets to the end of the loading cycle and then beeps and says warning there is a new not implemented page page ingame options why is gwx not loading


lt commander lare

its also saying menu id not found as well


lt commander lare

do you start GWX by SH3Commander?

no sh3 commander is not installed i clicked on the icon on the desktop for gwx silent hunter 3 and im getting the error and im using windows vista and sh3 was working fine and it was patched to 1.4 and it was a clean install no traces of sh3 on the computer and im getting an error when i try to load it


lt commander lare

here what I found quickly.
it's out of this thread:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=105144

but i installed 3.0 the latest gwx is there something im doing wrong so i can get it to work

lt commander lare

alright, the procedure must be like this:
be sure to have no traces of SH3 on your system, make a clean install, patch to 1.4 (if you haven't a newer disk, already patched), the the GWX install (just be sure all files are in the same folder, the exe will do the rest; or you got the single-file, this is easiest), there is an issue with re-booting then, but I can't remember well (pls read in the vista-thread).
so far it went well??

There is a page missing which SH3 cant find so aborts
Either it wasnt a clean SH3 install that has a residue of a mod left in
or
You are using Vista

If using Vista I always install outside the program files folder
Anywhere - make a folder on the C drive and install to that
If you install into program files Vista will hold some files as compatability files
If you install a mod then start the game Vista will chuck those compatability files back in making it fubar
I cant for the life of me remember how to get to those compatabilty files - there may be a tab up top whilst you are in you Silent HunterIII folder

Best bet is to uninstall all and then reinstall OUTSIDE the program files
Never had a problem using that method

Not sure if Windows 7 has something similar - wouldnt surprise me

i finally got sh3 patched to 1.4 and then installed grey wolves and then the patch i go to launch the game it starts to load gwx and then the red bar reaches the end and then says silent hunter 3 has stopped working what do i have to do to use this mod i didnt know it was this complicated if you can help me with this i would appreciate it its very frustrating i will check back here in the morning


lt commander lare

does anyone know what im doing wrong at this point im also using the no cd option would that cause grey wolves not to work and should i buy the gold pack that neal said is starforce free and already patched to 1.4

lt commander lare

You didnt say whether Vista or windows 7

Either way
Try start/control panel/problem reports and solutions

On the left click - see problems to check

In there will be your instance of SH3 closing

Right of that will be view details

Post whats in there - someone may be able to help

Mine shut down last night with this error

Fault Module Name: SH3Sim.act

Which is a problem with a unit ingame - have a rough idea what it is as only just added it
:rotfl2:

im using vista and the problems and solutions said its appcrash thats whats its saying

lt commander lare

and i installed it in c drive and not program files

lt commander lare

i got it working with it patched to 1.4 and silent hunter commander working i still cant get grey wolves to work so i will play the stock version for now thanks for everyones help

lt commander lare

Sounds like your grey wolves are corrupt download them again from another source there are plenty out there.
as in my other post this will work
