Default GWX3 Gold File Problem

Hello all,
Figured my first post might as well be one asking for help. I DLed GWX3 Gold, all 7 parts & other misc from the Grey Wolves site. I went to run the installer, got about halfway through and got an error telling me the TerrainData.BFD is corrupt. I searched the forums and found 1 other person had the problem & fixed it, but unfortunately never said what they did! So, any suggestions or ideas? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Subsim.

One solution may be to redownload the files , if you haven't tried that already.

This might sound strange to u but i fixed the same issue by removing half of my RAM The installer for both sh3 and gwx failed if i had morethan 1gb of RAM. I think computer skips over the files.

Download the files again, not from the Grey Wolves site, but from Jimbuna's signature. That is the only location guaranteed to be trouble-free.

Thanks for the replies, currently re-downloading from mediafire, I'll let you guys know how it goes.

**EDIT**-Re-downloading seems to have fixed the problem, many thanks all!

Welcome Aboard

Check JSGME to ensure you don't have either the Black Sea or Indian Ocean campaign files enabled.

... last!

If the Merged campaign is enabled last then the world should be full of objects. But better to keep it clean, and not enable the campaign parts that you won't need.
