Silent Hunter 3 CTD
 

Hi,

I used to play Silent Hunter 3 earlier ( i think it was on a Nvidia Display Card).

Have changed the card to an ATI HD 3450 AGP 512. I am not sure if the card is an issue as now the game crashes after the loading screen (send / don't send MS window) in the window it says Modman: Unknown.

Kindly help me with the above. Taking a break from flight training.

Welcome Aboard deeppurple!
 

:salute: you have the correct driver when you switched to a new video card, and I assume that you run with GWX3 and have patched it right!?

Vendor,

Thnx for a quick reply.

I am using Catalyst 10.5 drivers. Nope i have still not downloaded GWX 3.0.

I am using GWX 2.0 atm.

It is a reformatted system. i thinking of putting back the Nvidia 5500 and check.

can not answer the Catalyst 10.5, is right for your graphics card, in some cases, the version before, be better, would not you want to test GWX3? then it is much sharper in the realism a predecessor, and you will not regret it, in so in this case, a clean install of SH3 and and, clean the registry, and then remove all the SH3 folder from my documents,and patch it before install, and here's a link if you intend to download it,

Firstly, Welcome Aboard :salute:

Right then, what are the rest of your system specs?

Was it only the graphics card you've changed, and did it run fine before? (With/without GWX2.0)

Is your new card much better than your old one - does it need more from your PSU?

Have you deleted the previous graphics card's drivers?

And finally, for now, what OS are you using? If it's 32-bit XP I think you need Catalyst 10.12 not 10.5 (but I could be wrong, does any other game work?)

Herr-Berbunch,

System specs are :

AMD Semrpon 3300+ (runs well)
2 GB 400 Mhz.
Asus K8v-MX motherboard
ATI HD 3450 AGP 512MB
160 GB / 320 GB
Sony DVD
17" LG.
Creative Live Sound Card.

Well actually yes it was only the GFX card that i changed. But earlier i had never installed the creative sound card which i am currently using. It was the Nvidia card earlier and it did run Gwx 2.0 pretty well.

The ATI HD 3450 is good for HD movies and vids. Was using this card for my flight training (FS9). The system has been reformatted so its fresh.

Quite a few games work fine on my system except the one's which require a dual core n above.

OS is XP SP2.
Catalyst 10.12 i think has a few issues.

@Vendor,


Yeah i could try with the lower version of the drivers.

I will try GWX 3.0 tonight and clean the registry and my documents.

10.12 is the latest set of drivers for your card. It may have issues but it will be better than 10.5 for you.

Get it here, and delete 10.5 - http://support.amd.com/us/psearch/Pa...ords=&items=20

:D

OK! Good luck, and it is something that is totally wrong, you know SubSim happy to answer your questions, :up:

Herr-Berbunch,

Aye aye, will download it and check it. Hope it works as i love silent hunter and my flight simulations.

But would the display cause an error like "Modman: Unkown" ?

Don't know, never seen that, and can find no trace of it on this site or any other (apart from some other forum from 2004!). But definately 10.5 is not for your card - although it may appear to work on the surface it's really designed for the newer PCI-e cards and OS.

@Herr-Berbunch

@Vendor

Thank you both for your help , will let you know if the problem gets resolved.
Just tried playing Call Of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare (Which needs a dual core processor)

And to tell you it works smooth on my rig. But i am still going to upgrade the drivers first and check.

Thnx for the link.

Do keep us informed on how you get on, and I can thoroughly recommend moving up to GWX3. :up:

Herr-Berbunch,

10.12 did the trick. :salute:

:wah: But after installing GWX 2.0 same Modman : Unknown.

Where did you get GWX 2.0 and when?
Only time I have seen Modman is when infected with BackWebLite.
It's a dll file used by it.

privateer,

GWX 2.0 i got it a few years back and probably from the here.

Well if it can be due to a virus then i had reformat my rig.
