Loading missions in Greywolves

03-21-07, 11:45 AM

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I've just done a fresh installation of SH3 after a while playing other games and out of curiosity I also loaded Gameshadow. To my utter surprise I found they included a full install of Greywolves so I downloaded and installed this also. Now when I come to start a mission or career it loads about 85% and locks up so I have to reboot. My system is by no means lo-spec but I always reduce settings first to avoid any lag. Is there an easy solution to my problem because it is beyond my limited computer skills. Please help

Hi & Welcome

Is your SH3 patched to 1.4b?
Was it GWX that you d/l from Gameshadow?

If it was GWX, then it is quite common for the campaign/mission loading screen to hang at around 85%, this is normal. How long did you leave it for?

Make sure both answers to the questions above are YES, then fire up GWX and load the campaign, now go and make a cuppa.

Loading can take between 2 mins to 10 mins (a bit extreme, but well). This is due to the extra goodies added.

Just FYI, if the campaign is NOT going to load then it will dump you to the desktop.

Be patient.

First load is always the longest
As Dan said go away and make a brew
