GWX2 CTDs/Installation problem?

Drake · 01-10-08, 08:15 AM

I just attacked a convoy, and after sinking a few ships my game is starting to crash alot... reloading works a little, then crashes again.. now its at the point where I cant finihs my patrol, and it crashes after a few minites of my last save... I really dont want to load a previous save and loose the 40,000 some tons of sunk merchants..

That guy seems to have the same problem as me...

im not sure if its related, but I just noticed this error in a log file in my desktop.

GWXInstErr:

DEBUG: Test 1 PASSED
DEBUG: Test 2 PASSED Version is 1.4.0.1
DEBUG: Test 3 PASSED
DEBUG: Test 4 FAILED Size is 6760734
DEBUG: Test 5 FAILED Size is 70298
DEBUG: Test 6 Seems to have PASSED IF Size is not Zero - Size is 1138405
At least one of the tests failed

I installed it on a fresh installation of SH3.. so I dunno what the problem is.. I checked all the files with the program too.. so is there anything I can do?.. I wish there was some way I could just end the patrol with the ships around, I got a couple mins before it crashes on my last save..

Download files 4 and 5 again and check with the MD5 programme.

First question, XP or Vista?

Second:
Are you 100% sure that your copy of SH3 is clean & patched to 1.4b (only, no previous versions of GW or GWX)? Before adding GWX 2.0 (only).

In a nutshell, the installer report is saying that certain files that it checks within the clean install of SH3 are not the correct size (aka moddied or un-patched).

No Jim, it's not the files, it's the installer checks.

Yeah im sure it was a fresh install... my whole reason for installing it was to play this Mod when i heard about it randomly on teh internet...

are you sure its the files?.. when I checked them it said they were fine.. I could try it again tho..

Edit: And im using XP pro SP2

Alright.. ill give it another try, hopefully it works this time

Drake · 01-10-08, 08:35 PM

Ok I reinstalled it and no Error log file.. a Good start.

I load my last saved game and it crashes imediatly.. I loaded one just before I attacked the Convoy and redid that part without saving or loading untill I was outta ammo.

it crashed once when I accidently moved the mouse too far and clicked on my second monitor, minimizing the game and freezing my computer.. but so far none of the usual Crashes.. I can only hope its fixed....

Well ill post if I have any more problems, but its time for another patrol

If you have problems with previously saved careers from before GWX, you need to delete them. As we've also mentioned, they are not often compatible.
