Sorry for OT, but I've never before read or heard about that. In GWX manual i can't find this info too.
What consequences will be if I don't remove sh3 folder in MyDoc before install GWX?
sorry for my poor english and thank for reply (if any )
Its just a precaution, Shakatan. Many have no problems if they dont do it, but many more land in a pile of manure if they let it be.

Its just that if you uninstall SH3 the folder in "My Documents" is still there, and it often causes issues.

The best thing is to either rename it and move it, or delete it prior to a fresh install. (As for instance is required for GWX)

There are a few things I always do just in case:

*Delete folder in "My Documents" prior to fresh install
*Never save near ports, enemies or submerged - may cause the crash dive of death or just plain old crash to desktop
*Never abort a crash dive before its done, as altering depth before set crash dive depth can cause strange boyancy (boat depth keeping issues)
*Never alter anything before first patrol of a new carreer, just go STRAIGHT TO MISSION - may cause lots of headaches, if you dont

SH3 is like a Panda-bear, if you even sneeze at it it may die

Have fun at subsim, mate!
