Questions from a new member

Ahoy, new victim here....

Been playing for a while now... Only recently upgraded my graphics card (from an FX5500 to a Radeon X1650 pro). So I could finally install GWX. Just some questions though:

1) I occassionally get an anooying CTD. Not always, mind you...very random, like. Also, it wont give an error message or anything. This used to happen before (stock SH3) when something would pop up in the background, like the anti-virus starting up. Anyone else get this CTD? All I get is the Commander (2.7) pop-up that comes on when SH3 is closed...I presume this is just because SH3 has just crashed, and not the cause of it?

2) In GWX, the type IIA carries 6 torpedoes. In stock only 5. How come 1 more was added? Is this for historic reasons?

3) How do I change the crews to talk in German? I looked all over the internet. And do I need to do a fresh install or start a new carreer to do this? :hmm:

1) Not sure, more system specs? Did you do a totally fresh install of vanilla sh3 before installing GWX.
2) I'm not sure about the 6 torpedoes. In RL a IIA had 5, but I've never played a IIA in GWX so I can't tell you.
3) Go to your main menu -> options->sound ->there shohuld be an option for German audio (but you can keep english text if you'd like)

Oh, and welcome to SubSim m8.

Hi and welcome to Subsim

2, Crews often carried a 6th torpedo strapped down in the torp room for extra tonnage

When I got my new graphic card, I took advantage to clean inside my PC with a hoover and I re-formatted everything and at the same time I got a sound card as I was using onboard sound (preparing myself for SH4, you see). So I disabled onboard sound, fresh install of SH3 and installed Cammander (2.7) and GWX.

My specs are: P4 3.2 (HT), Radeon X1650 Pro 256mb, Cheapo sound card (PC Line 5.1), 1 gig of ram

2) I'm not sure about the 6 torpedoes. In RL a IIA had 5, but I've never played a IIA in GWX so I can't tell you.

If this is true then I would be very disappointed. As you can tell from my sig, I rather like the Type II. I thought GWX's aim was to make it more historically accurate?

3) Go to your main menu -> options->sound ->there shohuld be an option for German audio (but you can keep english text if you'd like)

Thanks Corrupt!!

Ha...then I eat my words. I'm everything for historical accuracy...and GWX is an amazing mod. By the way, thanks to the guys who made GWX the Type II is now a bit more respectable (not a rust bucket).

Did you miss bigboywooly's post? You'd better check again.

Yep, I missed it whilst I was replying to Corrupt. That's excellent that GWX put an extra torp because it happened in real life. I like things like that...

By the way....GWX has made the crew uniforms more alike...I always thought stock SH3 went a little overboard with the uniforms making them all different like that. I like it more now...
