GWX installation issue

horrgakx · 12-16-06, 05:22 PM

... well kinda. I can't even get SHIII re-installed.

In order to get GWX installed I've had to uninstall SHIII completely. So, I've installed the vanilla version of SHIII and without even running the game I tried the patch. However it won't run!!

Any ideas please?

After uninstall, check that there is not a Silent Hunter III folder in your installation directory. If there´s one, delete it before re-installing.

Thanks, deleting that file did the trick.

Will utils like SHIII Inspector still work?

Going to be hard to get used to the bridge sticking out of the water at periscope depth, got spotted & fired upon before I'd got into firing range on one of the missions

Takes a lot longer to load up to a mission too, not complaining just noting. Thought it had crashed at first and did the 3-finger salute. Leaving it for 5 mins did the trick.

The conning tower doesn't stick above the water at PD, but it will after a few minutes if you don't move. You can only maintain PD at 2 knots or above.

I'm not sure about inspector, but some minitweaker files don't work, in a few days I'll put together the changes and post new MT files.
