Infuriating problem

papegojan · 09-07-08, 05:02 PM

I am playing SH3 with GWX 2.1 addon. In career mode it is absolutely fantastic, but twice now when I have tried to play single missions, my whole computer has crashed, wih a critical error message, and when I restart my computer I get a message saying that windows has recovered from a serious error. Has anyone else had the same problem? I cannot say preisely what caused it except it was a .dll file.

Take a screenshot of the error message and post it.

Have you added any 3rd party mods to your installation :hmm:

No third party mods, just GWX to 2.1. Like I say, everything works OK, it only crashes to a screen that tells me to reboot, not a CTD, when I have played a single player mission. I will now go and play single player mision and see if I can get the same thing to happen. I sent the error mssage to microsoft and they replied that it was something in a program that my laptop didn't have the necessary driver for. I'll get back to you ASAP

Rgr that

It could well be a driver problem though, or perhaps a mismatch of CFG files somewhere.

before I had chance to play a mission, I checked for windows updates, and was advised to install SP3. I did this, and played several single missions with now problem. I don't know if that was the issue, but all seems to work now, so I ain't complaining.
