Recent Win11 Update Affecting SH3 Install?

3catcircus · 12-19-24, 08:49 AM

Background: I used S3FE to install SH3 on the D:/ drive on my Win11 machine, successfully deployed 4GB patch, h.sie, GWX, ARB wide gui, Tycho patch, and a bunch of other mods. Successfully deployed SH3Commander.

Save folder is in the usual location (folder name GWX). I have onedrive but that folder was set to be always on my computer and not on-demand.

I had a test career in 1st Flotilla using Type II boat that I recently ran successfully but decided I wanted to start a new career in a different flotilla with a Type VII. Ran SH3C, started new career, SH3 loaded, started my 1st patrol in the new career band after the last screen bar got to the the, instead of appearing inside the boat, it hangs for about 20 seconds and then just drops to the desktop - no CTD blue screen, just exits the game.

I've tried pushing synch, unlinking onedrive from my PC, copying back my backup of the save folder, and it doesn't appear to be that any of that fixed my issue.

Tried running S3FE to scan and see if it can find my installs and it can't find GWX, giving me a data mismatch error and goes into a scan loop over and over.

Only thing that has changed has been the most recent Windows update (I'm still on 23H2).

Any thoughts?
