Reboot. Then I installed SH3 and patch to 1.4b, Reboot. Then I installed GWX2.0 and then GWX2.1.

Dont know how it could get cleaner than that... maybe remanats in my registry?

That is it then.

EVERYTHING must go. There shouldn't be so much as a speck of SH3 prior to reinstalling the game and then GWX on top.

this is the guide I wrote to install GWX 2.1 from dot. It was done for people totally new to it, but even the seasoned subsimmers can do with steering in the right direction now and again.

GWX 2.1 Installation Instructions


GWX 2.1, needs a FRESH SH3 1.4b installation to work. If you already have a fresh
install of SH3 and patched to 1.4b skip straight to step 5 now. If not...


1. Ensure that commander is rolled back, and disable all mods with JSGME

2. Commence uninstall using the game disk.
When it asks to keep the save data, click no.

3. Delete the Silent Hunter III folder in C:programs/ubisoft to remove all traces
Now reboot the computer.
(If SH3 was your only ubisoft game then delete the ubisoft folder in my programs)

4. ReInstall SH3, and then, when installation is done, if you need to... patch it to 1.4
If you require the patch, please visit the SH3 website - when this is done, reboot.

5. Visit the Official GWX Hompage (http://gwx.mysite.orange.co.uk/)
select "Download links" and download the GWX exe and the 7 Bin files and
the GWX 2.1 exe. (if you already have the GWXexe, the 7 bin files and the 2.1 exe saved in
in your PC somewhere, skip to step 7, if not... see step 6)

6. Save the Bin files and the EXE in your computer all together in a folder
"GWX 2" for example. But the 7 Bin files and the exe must be together in
a folder. (Tuck the complete download away for future use)

7. You are now ready. Double click the exe (the wolf paw print) and that will install GWX 2.0
(NOTE: the 2.1 exe is 158mb in size, just in case you can't tell which is which.)

8. To complete the installation of GWX 2.1 double click the 2.1 exe now, this will patch
your installation to 2.1 when the installation is finished that's it, you are ready
to start playing!


SH3 Commander Instructions.

GWX 2.0 is compatible with SH3 commander but you will need to download and install the
special GWX 2.1 cfg files in your SH3 Commander v3.0 (or later version) main folder.
Files available from the GWX homepage...

1. Find your SH3 commander install folder in my programs

2. copy the GWX 2.0 commander files you have downloaded from the Official GWX Hompage
(http://gwx.mysite.orange.co.uk/) into the Cfg folder there

3. Thats it! SH3 commander is now 100% compatible with GWX 2.1
