Default Tip

If I may, I'd like to offer a "tip" on installing GWX 3.0.

Post #1 states:

GWX 3.0 MUST be installed over a fresh-clean installation of SH3 patched to version 1.4b.
In the pdf file, it asks that you un-install SH3.

Then re-install it and patch it to v1.4.

I like to play the stock version and am in Febrary of 44 in my current campain.

So what I did was to re-install SH3 and patch it to v1.4. Then made a folder in "My Documents" and titled it "Virgin SH3."

I installed all my mods for the stock game.

Then I took and renamed my "Virgin SH3" game to GWX 3.0. And of course, I had to rename the SH3 icon in the same fashion. Then copied this into the Ubisoft folder. Once this was completed, I sent a "shortcut" to the desktop of the newly named GWX 3.0 icon.

Then I followed the instructions as per:

Quote:

Run GWX.exe and follow the installation prompts
Except that I installed them into the c:/programfiles/ubisoft/gwx3.0 folder.

Simple. I have the stock game and the GWX Gold version I can play.

I did the same thing with SH4.

I have "Wolves of the Pacific" and "Trigger Maru Overhauled".
