GW related CTD

[Grrbob25]

Well, after installing GW (v1.1) i can get the game all the way up to the screen where it says " not so long ago" and then DDhelp will have a illegal operation (DDhelp is a win98 thing) microsoft says that its graphics related, and to fix it you need to reduce hardware acceleration, ok i did that, now sh3's 3d engine wont load, so i'm stuck here with no sh3, and nothings working to fix it............anyone have any ideas?

(im beginning to hate win 98)

specs are: (very crappy) Intel Celeron D 2.93ghtz
Geforce 5200 FX
512mb RAM
win98 SE

try to update your video drivers for nvidia, if that wont work you might have to install windows 2000 or better (xp) then reinstall sh3 update to 1.4b install video card drivers then install dx9.0c then tht shud fix it.

Yeah. My Machine only has 1.8 GHZ and it can take XP, and, sooner or later, you have to get it anyway. So, Install that Sucky XP.

well whenever i get 60 more dollars, my pc will be upgraded as such:

AMD athlon 64 X2 4400 2.20ghtx
Radeon X300 (until I can get dual x1650's)
1024mb RAM (2gb later)
Win XP home SP2

Your problem is created by your system specs... not the GW mod.

Sorry mate, I'm not having a go at you here, but you are below the recommended specs in most of the major areas... including your operating system. I know money doesn't grow on trees... but we would appreciate a little consideration from you when stating that your CTD is "GW related" as you've titled your thread... when in fact it is clearly not GW related.

That being said... the new system you are about to build should be able to handle anything you throw at it. Though keep in mind that SH3 running on a 64 bit system has a quirk or two to be dealt with as well... but you should have no trouble getting help for that matter here.

sorry, i only worded it like that because it only started happening after i installed GW, forgeting that fact hat it happens from time to time with other games

i meant in no way to critize Gw or the mod team as the mod is pure brilliance, and i appreciate all the work that was done to create GW ( i had some of the textures installed before i put in the whole thing and they were wonderful! i hope soon to enjoy the full mod)

Nah, the 64bit processor thing will be fine, its all I ever ran mine on since I got it. It's a 64 bit operating system that causes the problem, starforce won't run on it... neither will the game. The trick is to remove starforce.
