Help question

Hey everyone,

I've finally gotten a new rig that "should" be able to handle a relatively heavy modded SH III .

I am playing a purchased version of SH III from Amazon. It is the Download version and has no disc.

Part of the problem I am having is CTD just running GWX "mods" let alone some of the heavier ones like Merchant Fleet Mod.
I've uninstalled it but can not do so using the traditional "uninstall" by going to programs in Control Panel, because Ubisoft SH III does not appear there.

I just am deleting the SH III folder and all its contents.

I am also running SH 3 cleaner 4.0 to help make sure I am starting clean.

Any suggestions?

Please post your system specs, hardware and OS.

If your using windows 7 or 8, make sure sure that you didn't install sh3 to the default path in the programs folder.

An example of a correct path would be C:\ubisoft\sh3.

After you uninstall, you should also delete the SH3 folder in users/documents. It contains saved games, user settings etc., and can become corrupted.

{edit:} Add the mods one at a time (using JGSME!) and test them to see which combo causes the CTD. Many mods are incompatible with each other.

Try it with just the GWX mods enabled.

(I think your computer is more than adequate for SH3.)
