Hi Dutch,

You can also find part 2 on FileFront.com

Check the GW sticky thread first post for the link.

You can also use tankeriv's 64MB seafloor mod to fix the fps hit, it works.

Or, just open GW's data\Terrain\Textures\tex and find sand02 and stone01 and resize them to 1024x1024 from their 4096x4096 size.

That will help true... however not as much as the 256x256 tga's from stock SH3.

It took my 1-2 fps with the 4096x4096 up to completely stutter free, in Kiel harbor. It also allowed me to use Tankeriv's sea floor which is much better than the stock one.

There are other alternatives:

1. Disable GW (if you use JSGME) then delete the two texture files from the MODS GW folder. Re-enable GW. Problem solved.
2. Locate the (original) two texture files in the JSGME MODS\!BACKUP folder. They will be suffixed with something like ".Grey Wolves v1.0". Copy the two files and paste into the SH3 game folder, removing the suffix and overwriting the "larger" GW ones in the process. Problem solved.

Got it working now, FPS back from 6-10 LR to 10-15 HR in convoys, much much better, and playable now.
