About a year ago I do not play GWX 3.0 (I prefer the NYGM), but from what I've read you tried using the 4GB-Patch?

Best regards.

SH3 needs the 4 gig patch to access more ram cause it's an old program and does not see all that ram.

It says: "If you have a 64bit OS and 3 GB or more ram try the 4GB patch".

You can install it now without reinstalling the game. It patches the SH3 .exe only.

Auuu...what a great relief HW3...I wasn't interested to reinstall the sh3 GWX 3.0 gold at this time mate...in my first war patrol I sunk the H.M.S Hood in a fast and powerful task force...

P.S. Thank you very much for all your help, guys...
After the war if someone need a refugee status in Portugal please give a call may be I can introduce you guys in the country disguise of gypsys...

IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag will be turn on... and program can use greater range of virtual address space for proceses... up to 4 GB.

Microsoft:
"On 64-bit editions of Windows, 32-bit applications marked with the IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag have 4 GB of address space available."

I'm playing SH3 GWX 3.0 and im using all so the merchant fleet 3.2 mod and i detect a strange detail when i playing...for example: whem i detect a merchant and if im using the Uzo the Id of the ship its show was a code...the correct its show the type of the ship like large merchant, or other. And the same thing is show in the log book after you end your patrol...

Another problem witch i detect it was when you torpedo a enemy ship and you get the message "she going down" the true is the ship take a lot of time to sunk, you must use the deck gun to accelerate the process...this is normal? Thanks in advance...

Perhaps this can serve you sir, correcting all ships that was sinking on heavy seas.

I do not know if it is compatible with MFM 3.2 (I believe so).

Best Regards.

Once you get the 'going down' message you get credit.
Why waste ammo to speed it up?
