GW Installation - ok with existing campaign?
 

New to SH3 and am about 1 year into my first stock campaign. Am downloading GW 1.1 (the link to 1.1a doesn't seem to work). Will installing GW mess up my existing campaign? Or can I just jump right in after installation?

Hi and welcome aboard

You should be fine as long as you are in port when you install it

I just did that myself and am having no problems at all (yet).

But like bigboywooly says, make sure you are in port between patrols when you do it. Otherwise you are in for a lot of trouble.

I did it, and all it does is tell me "base was changed to Kiel" many times until I click OK enough, then it proceeds as normal.

Cool, I think I'm in Wilhemshaven right now. Looks like it's time to install.

Another question, what do you lose from 1.1 to 1.1a? I saw what it said on the GW page but not sure exactly what it meant. Something like AI map or something?

Im yet to find a working link to 1.1a :down: the two links on the official site dont work.

The 1.1A is a self installer with the bearing overlay fix included
The bearing overlay fix for 1.1 is available here

The two links do work but they have exceeded their bandwith limits so are temporarily unavailable
Victim of its own success
Steps are being taken as I write to upload 1.1A to different filesharing hosts

You can download 1.1a via Bittorrent:

If you don´t have a Bittorrent client you can get one here:

It was at U-Boot.Realsim but I don't see the SHIII download section. Might be down while work is done on the site.

Go to Content/UBRS Download Central. You need to log in first. UBRS only has GW 1.0 btw.

gizzmoe, is it correct that there should only be 5 files including the exe

its downloading agonisingly slow...never mind ill keep at it

How fast is your Internet connection? What´s the current download speed?

my internet connection is 2mb and the current download speed is
DOWN SPEED 21kbs
UP SPEED 6 kbs-12kbs
