i 've to quote myself and sorry if i expressed myself mistakable. shure, if i would be aware of what went wrong and which steps i made i would have told you.
but the fact is: i don't know why suddenly it works cos i haven't made any changes.
after receiving mcf1's PM to download 1.4v eng and give it a try, i decided to run "SilentHunterIII with GWX 2.1" one more time
before following mcf1's suggestion.
as known and mentioned before the protection window appeared and the "checking disc" progress notification for a short time freezed at 25 to 30% the way. at this point the hung up appeared in all previous efforts to run the game.
but all the sudden the progress notification started to grow all the way up to 100% disc checking and the GWX2.1 load screen appeared.
.....like there was no problem before.
maybe its a DVD based problem. i remember that i tried three times to install SHIII stock game from dvd.
the first time i couldn't even start the installation cos of a file reported to be not found.
the second time and at about 90% into the installation process it was terminated by a message "script based installation failed" or something like that.
then the third time of course i could finish the process, without any problems.
so guys, i don't really know what is the problem and i swear not to hide something from u. i would have shared all the steps i made but they simply do not exist.
these issues suddenly apperaed and they disappeared the same way.
i don't wanna confuse u much more than i am for the moment but i hope this post somehow is a good explanation for what ever.
guys, please consider that i'm german and maybe i'll be misunderstood. if so feel free to let me know and ask for some better explanation.
Thanks alot and good hunting, kaleuns!!!!!!
