Hi theatreblues,

When you upgraded your copy of SH3+GWX... did you first uninstall all the old stuff using the game DVD and then delete all remaining mod files?

GWX 3.0/Gold needs to be installed over an absolutely fresh installation of SH3 patched to version 1.4b to run correctly.

You can't just install it over the top of the older version of GWX.

If you aren't absolutely sure that you installed it correctly, try those things I've mentioned above and let us know how it goes.

Just a thought, but one more gig of identical RAM would prolly do you a world of good.

Yes it is a clean install, I install from dvd then apply mod. I have uninstalled and then reinstalled mod and dvd several times and deleted all associated files, I have even checked the registry, the dvd is version 1.4. Thanks.

Well, I'm not sure what to say at this point. Both GWX and NYGM are stable mods.

Did you add any other mods on top of either GWX or NYGM?

theatreblues · 07-13-09, 01:33 PM

No, no other mods applied. In originally installed GWX 3 gold and some of the mods that came with it. but when that kept crashing I uninstalled it completely and tried the NYGM mod but same thing happens CTD with no error message.

I'm sure it may seem redundant, but you might look at the GWX manual concerning installation. Maybe you missed something.

I remember once, I spent a fair bit of time looking for my car keys before leaving to go to work... only to find them in my hand.

So don't give up.

Okay... were you able to run GWX and/or NYGM for a short time and then they crashed?

If both would run for a short time and then crash... you may have a hardware problem.

... which would mean a trip to the bank.

Yes both ran ok for about 15 mins. I actually completed one mission in career mode in GWX, but when I was about to start the second mission( I think it says something along the lines of A long time ago, at top of the screen) I had a diffrent type of crash.... The screen went black and that was that, end of game.
