You must install The Grey Wolves Expansion (GWX) over a CLEAN, UNMODIFIED installation of Silent Hunter III patched to Version 1.4b since the installer will only install GWX into your Silent Hunter III installation folder. The following instructions may apply to you depending on how you have modified Silent Hunter III:


1. REMOVE any installed SH3 Commander files (if you use SH3 Commander) by pressing the "Rollback SH3" button from within SH3 Commander;

2. You can use JSGME to activate other modifications after you install GWX, but not GWX itself;

3. GWX is a full/general release that completely supersedes all previous versions of “The Grey Wolves” and GWX.

a. Uninstall Silent Hunter III via the MS-Windows “Add/Remove programs” feature

b. Open Windows Explorer and:

i. *delete* the folder from where Silent Hunter III was just removed

ii. *delete* the “\My Documents\SH3” folder. GWX V2.0 is incompatible with non-GWX save games and is likely incompatible with games saved under previous GWX versions.

c. Reinstall Silent Hunter III;
d. Install patch V1.4b if your version of Silent Hunter III was an earlier version, ensuring the patch version corresponds to your source media: Download, DVD, EMEA, or US);
e. Visit the GWX homepage (

http://gwx.mysite.orange.co.uk) and download all the primary files listed there. Send them all onto your desktop or onto a folder of your own choosing, but please ensure they are all loaded INTO THE SAME FOLDER;

f. Run GWX.exe and follow the installation prompts.
