Ok, calm down. First and foremost, delete all old files. This includes the SH3 file in your MY DOCUMENTS folder. This usually is the problem. Defrag/clean disk. Load the game and install proper patch. Again, the folder in My Documents is usually the culprit for this.

Believe me, AVEWarhawk is correct. DO what he recommends and there will be NO problems.

The best way to avoid some installation problems is by doing a 'Search' on entire computer after uninstalling and doing initial delete process, to see if there are still any SH3* files left. If you find some, then delete them, then clean computer and defrag and install, clean and defrag again for peak performance when finished.

I only suggest this as an absolute last resort but clean up your registry files as well because sometimes this is beneficial

okay how good is this GWX (silly question) but im running GW1.1a at the moment. Shall i upgrade to GWX. I hear i will be able to go to the pacific? Or round the NZ/AUS area.
Im running dialup so will have to go round and be REAL NICE to my buddie who has the broadband and tell him how great he looks your looking well etc., the big grease Then ask him how about if he would like to DL GWX which is just under a gig. (guessing)

He aint a SH3 player so convincing is needed.

Best way to deal with trolls is to ignore them. Subsim also has a handy "ignore user" function I just used...

If you can, try to d/l the manual. 18mb yes, but it will give you a good taste of what is in GWX, including Indian Ocean/Aus/NZ activity.

I don't think Codmander got any problem here. In his opinion, which is perfectly ok, GWX got a lot of eye candy but a relatively easy gameplay maybe compared to NYGM. And to some extend I agree with him.

Please don't post answers like that. Lets allow all opinions about mods here, that's what's makes them even better.

First, my thanks to the Dev team and all those who contributed to the project. It's outstanding work. I spent two hours downloading the thing but it was worth. I installed another Sh3 to just see GWX (sorry, I wasn't ready to risk my great crew, great u-boat and great career for something I haven't seen yet).

Now I stick with it, even if I have to start all over again. It's marvellous job. The execution level is as high as those of the commercial productions but even more complete.

To be honest, I hated the previous damage model. Having to wait for days for every merchant to sink was hampering the gameplay, wasting my freetime and wasn't realistic (well, not the long sinking itself, but the necessity for the u-boat to stay nearby and wait, otherwise it wouldn't be counted as a hit). Yesterday I sunk a passenger/cargo with a single torpedoe (I hesitated for at least 5 minutes before pressing fire though). It didn't sink right of the way, but it managed to make another 10-20 kilometers. I liked it, it didn't take real time hour and was fun. Then two aircraft appeared firing on me. Did you do anything to RAF? I've never been attacked by planes after sinking a merchant before! Great!

I love every tiny bit of this expansion. Just two questions:

1) I received a message talking about a polish submarine sunk by U-14 (?). I don't know if it's correct, but as far as I know Poland had only 2 U-class submarines, ORP Sokol and ORP Dzik, also known as Terrible Twins. Both of them survived the war and did very well as well.

2) Do the transmissions cover the entire war?

Thank you, gentlemen.
