With GMX out now, I'd say that this is (unfortunately for me  ) not true. My "old" workhorse (1.2 GHz, 512 RAM, Nvidia 6800FX) worked well with SH3 + IUB 1.3 and living harbor, but GWX ist to much for it, I believe. I have Crash to Desktops in the end phase of starting SH3-GMX even though I installed everything right.

OK I see what your problem is here. SH3/GW and GWX need CPU power and RAM. If you have enough of both then the game runs fine. I do have less RAM (512MB) but I have a powerfull computer at 3.3GHz, that compensates for the lack of memory. I'm affraid with only 1.2GHz it will be difficult to play GWX. Still as a last resort I would suggest you try to use the No Harbour Traffic add on mod in GWX. It takes away harbour traffic, mines and subnets. Check it out and you might be able to play GWX. Good Luck  |
Yep, I 've already tried no harbor traffic, but it ain't working.
I must apologize misleading you, yesterday evening I re-checked and I have
1.83 Ghz, not 1.2 GHz as I wrote down earlier from memory, but that doesn't change the fact that my workhorse isn't due yet for a new processor and mainboard upgrade, as everything else I'm working and playing with is running well.
Now after two days, my dissapointment is getting less and I accept the fact that GWX is a no-no with my current hardware. That means fir me back to the IUB 1.3 mod. I liked JonZ's mod anyway very much, but I don't see any upgrades of it with the newest mods lately, guess I'll have to do that by my own
.
I just hope there will be still enough mods coming out who do not require GWX or NYGM as a must-have install. Naturally I'm more interested in mods changing the gameplay rather than fancy graphics.
Alternatively, I may ask the "Christkind" for more RAM and give it another try after X-Mas.
Cheers and Fette Beute to the SH3-Community,
