ok after some deep reading in here I managed to somehow get it right so far, but it grieves me to say I have been up all night uninstalling/reinstalling/uninstalling/reinstalling blah blah blah .. when I make a brand new installation, I then patch it always successfully everytime, then I run the greywolves installer with the files downloaded individually from here
http://www.gamefront.com/files/user/ConningTower
again a total success everytime. Then when its time to play sh3 it goe's to the loading screen with no problems, then after say 2/3 minutes tops, the wait seems longer, anyway I then get to the actual menu screen where I can start a career, play a single mission ect, but I don't change anything, video graphics/audio settings ect, I just leave everything the way it is and go to play a single mission as I want to get straight into the game, so I pick a single mission and it loads up, but not entirely, like most of the red loading bar has loaded with only alittle to go, but it always just stays there and then hey hooo it eventually crashes.
Omg I really want to play this greywolves mod, I am so tired from sitting up all night trying for the life of me to get it right, but obviously I am missing something, not doing something. Is there another software I should download for this greywolves mod to work. I have windows xp and I know I have done mostly everything right so far, otherwise I would never get to where the single missions are.
When I start the game there is a picture of a wolf howling and then there is a huge torpedo spreading across the screen, so I know the greywolves mod has installed, but of course not entirely right.
Can someone please tell me in very simple lamens terms how I can achieve this greywolves mod setup without any real problems occuring everytime I start to play the game.
its really getting me down and I am rapidly losing interest
Thanks
