I followed all the instructions above. I can now run SH3 with the various mods still available, but cannot get GWX to run at all.
With a clean install (everything deleted and files rolled back, etc.), and application of 1.04b patch, plus the no-DVD files and the GWX SH3 Commander .cfg files, GWX Gold appears to load ok. When I run it, I get the intro screen and movie, and the load screen appears to run to completion. However, at that point I get 2 warning messages:
1. "Warning: There is a new (not implemented) page <Page Ingame Options>!" with an "OK" button. This is followed by:
2. "Warning: Menu ID not found: 0x1a000008!", also with an "OK" button.
Windows then issues a message that Silent Hunter III has stopped working, and then its back to the desktop.
Naturally, this is frustrating. Has ANYONE encountered such a thing, and is there a fix?
Running SHIII without GWX is like kissing your sister - basic, but not satisfying.
