GWX Issues Post Here

[Razman23]

Well, since I dont see one already, I guess I will start one.

I have one thing that came up when I started a new campaign.

First off, here is what I got loaded.

Clean install of SHIII w/ patch 1.4b
Commander 2.7 (sim previously ran to create required files)
GWX w/ 2.7 files (loaded with no problems)
No add-ons loaded.

Ok, so I crank up Commander and create a new campaign.

Random pick Captains name
Date sept 1939
2nd Flot (wilemshaven) w/ TY VIIB

SHIII loads up and I pick up the campaign. I pick sept 1939 and 2nd Flot and I end up in Kiel with a TY IIA sub.

Not a big thing but I thought I did something wrong but I picked correctly.

Any ideas?

Just checking you did add the GWX 2.7 files to commander yes ?

Once you get in game and start new career, I think you still need to match year and location with the left/right arrows. They won't always be the same. Then you should be good to go.

Well I just chose the 2nd flot in a VIIB through commander and again ingame and I started in Wilhelmshaven in a VIIB
By default the games first selection is the 1st flot
As posted above you need to select 2nd flot

I got one damn big issue here..................I CAN'T STOP PLAYING

[Biggles]

Not really an issue but......some ships in Wilemshaven is very low waters, looks like the're about to sink.

oh, and a burning Hospital ship on dry land in Alexandria......

You see why all the Beta Testers were so excited??? It ROCKS

GWX is by far the best sim out there in my opinion

Is the 30. Flottille included? I was looking forward to type IIs in the Black Sea, but I can't find the 30. anywhere, either in the game or in SH3 Commander 2.7.

Anyone else have any luck?

[bigboywooly]

Yes of course the 30th is included
Do you have the right dates ?
October 1942 in SH3commander

Had only one issue trying to load GWX.... I goofed and had added JSGME by mistake. Yeah I read the manual but still did it anyways like an idyit. If you do anything other than a fresh SHIII install and add Patch 1.4b, GWX will not install. Then you'll have to uninstall and start all over again. Trust me, I found out the hard way.

Yes, in October '42 I see the following:

1st
2nd
7th
10th
11th
29th
33rd

No 30th. If I click on the 33rd it says

10/42 to 07/44 - Error!
08/44 to 05/45 - Flensburg

Do you have the GWX specific files added to SH3Commander ?

And SH3commander 2.6 or above ?

Yes. I installed those files, and I'm using Commander 2.7.

October 1942 has no 30th Flotilla. Obviously something is wrong. How do I go about tracking down the issue? Is there some file I can check for to see if I have it or to see if the code inside it is correct?

But even without SH3 Commander there's none. If I go into the game directly and try to make a new career I don't see the 30th.

[bigboywooly]

Then it sounds like your install is corrupt
Did you do the MD5 check on all the files before install ?
Remove the SH3 folder in my docs before install ?

It should say 30th/33rd Flotilla

You can look in

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg and open the Flotilla cfg
And look for

Flotilla7=909
TO7=945
