Yeah, I've had Silent hunter III for about a year and a half now, but I'm just now discovering the AMAZING-ness that is GWX.

One question though. I have a pretty beefy system, yet I still have some points were I hiccup. Why is that?

3.5 GHz processor
2 G DDR2 RAM
Nvidia GeForce 7900GTX (512 MB DDR3 RAM)
Windows XP......

is this abnormal, or to be expected.

Your system will run GWX at full settings (AA & AF + High Res) with no problems at all.

Where are you getting 'hiccups'?

The trick with SH3/GWX is that you have to let the graphics load. So when starting in port, do a 360 deg rotation while in port this will be stuttery but once they are loaded the game will be fine. This goes for all gfx in SH3/GWX, they need loading into the memory.

If you need more info, just ask.

Enjoy the GWX ride

AA and High Res?

How is this acheived?

Oh, and my "hiccups" were mostly in port *which I attributed to my cranking it up to 1028 compression* and the extensively long pre-patrol load time. Seriously, it was ungodly. I got up to go use the restroom and grab a Diet Dr. Pepper and it still was only 75 percent when I returned.
