GWX 1.3 Mod Problem

Checkmate King 2 · 11-10-07, 05:16 PM

I'm currently having a GWX MOD load up problem.

I currently have GWX 1.3 up & running.

After using JSME (which was automaticaly loaded under my SH3 folder when I loaded GWX1.3) to activate 4 of the mods that come include with GWX 1.3, the game will load my campaign game up to where it says " NOT SO LONG AGO". Next, my screen goes from full screen to a big black box that covers 70-75% of my desk top. This black box looks like what would load up if I had NOT selected the FULL SCREEN OPTION however, the game setting is at FULL Screen.

After about 15 seconds, I then get the following:

" SH III has encountered a problem and needs to close. We Are sorry for the inconvenience."

After this all happens, I went back and deactivated all the MODS. Next, I loaded up my career & the game loaded up A-OK!! After getting out of that game, I went back to JSGME to activate the Nav. Maps & Grids IN English. Then I reloaded my career on SH3 however, the maps/grids were still in German!!

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

Have you activated JSGME (double clicked on it) to create a 'MODS' folder :hmm:

Are the saved games you are attempting to load were saved when you were out of port on potrol. The advice when the patch was released was to install it whilst still in port. I am not sure, but that might be the cause of any issues. Try loading a saved game starting in port 'in base before mission', and see if that helps.

jimbuna: I have to double click the JSGME icon when using windows explorer to be able to select the MOds.

Is that what you are talking about?

3Jane: I've been out of port, on a mission, while tring to activate the mod(s).

I even tried to start a a new career, which starts in port, but didn't have any luck; I had the same problem.

Have you used the tool available to check your downloaded files for faults. The only thing I can think of is that some files might be damaged or corrupt.

The only mods I have are the ones that automatically came with the GWX 1.3 downoad. I not trying to use any other type of downloads.

Yes, I realise that.

The first time you double click the JSGME icon it should create a MODS folder, that is correct.

Only activate mods whilst in port.

In fact, if I were you I'd perform a complete new reinstall :hmm:
1. Uninstall SH3 via Windows' "Add/Remove programs"
2. Open Windows Explorer and:
- *delete* the folder where you had installed SH3
- *delete* the \My Documents\SH3 folder
3. Reinstall SH3
4. If your SH3 did not come with patch v1.4b already included, install patch v1.4b. Ensure you install the patch that corresponds to your copy of SH3 (Download/DVD/EMEA/US)
5. OPTIONAL: Copy and paste this "clean" install as a backup to avoid the need to follow steps 1-3 if your game becomes corrupt in future
6.Download into the SAME folder GWX.exe and the five .bin files. While there grab the v1.03 patch
7. Run GWX.exe and follow the installation prompts
8. Run GWX103.exe and follow the installation prompts
9. SH3 COMMANDER USERS: Download the GWX 1.02+ Cfg files for SH3 Commander and unzip the contents DIRECTLY into your SH3 Commander\Cfg folder.

You stated:

"5. OPTIONAL: Copy and paste this "clean" install as a backup to avoid the need to follow steps 1-3 if your game becomes corrupt in future "

How do I do that?

Also, is it OK to save my Naval Academy data or should I wipe out everything?

Right click on the install and choose 'copy' then open up another drive or folder (one that you have preferably already created and called 'SH3 backup') and right click and choose 'paste'
It is adviseable to start afresh.
