Windows 7 and Steam

McVay · 03-29-11, 07:33 AM

Hi all

I am using Windows 7 and got Silent hunter 3 from steam. I also downloaded the GWX expansion and in stalled it. At this point my problems began to spring up. Before I installed GWX SH3 would run fine but after I installed GWX when the mission or career begins to load up it gets to the end of the load bar and the stops responding.

I have ploughed through all the relevant posts but cannot find anything about sorting this out. I have also tried the wide screen mod and that also refuses to work

Any help is greatly Appreciated

How long are you waiting? Load times of around 10-20 minutes are not unheard of.

Sometimes time runs very fast, or slow, and you're not alone if it has happened to everyone who has a taste for sim games

Yup. The last time I played SH3 was a few years ago and well the sub sim bug has bitten once again
