I'm no stranger to modding. I'm from an IL2 and rFactor background so it's almost a way of life for me. Sadly, I've never had the talent to do any real stuff but I do like to tinker with simple file mods for my own amusement sometimes.

So when I came here to Subsim in search of a simple answer to a stupid question and found out that it had been modded to the nuts, I decided to jump on the GWX bandwagon and I'm glad I did.

And I've snitched a few more files today that tweaked at my curiosity. I only went through the first 10 pages in the modding section, and already I might (if today ever ends and I get to go back home) have SH5 water, shake effects from charges and a streamlined voice files.

Oh, that's another thing, I decided to switch my voices to German for a touch of authenticity. I'm not going to lose anything because it's all captioned anyway and I have the most basic knowledge of the language, and what a difference it makes. So much more immersive.

Besides, when they spoke American, my new Radio Man had a really squeaky voice like he was on helium. I was having trouble taking him seriously.

I think it speaks for itself when something can be six years old and have two replacement products out and still have such a strong following. I'm not even tempted by the lure of SH4 because 3 seems to do it all and with the mods out there that update graphics, textures and God only knows what else, all you're left with is a slightly longer than usual loading time.

I can live with that!

Great work! From Ubi-Romania and from the community. They made a fantastic start point, the community gave it a phenomenal update and an additional bravo to everyone who's still going and offering support to numb-nuts like me who stumble in oozing ignorance and stupidity.

Well, I guess now I have some idea how to avoid the "crash on load" bug.

The funny thing is, before I read this thread, I had "gotten away" with saving near a harbor etc. many times. This really is one cruel and random bug.

Just leaving the game running a lot would help avoid the bug, but I'm having another problem - not being able to minimize the game. Will probably start a thread about it, as no one else seems to have ever had my particular problem.

I was able to minimize it a couple times, but I can't figure out how i did it! And it wasn't anything complicated. I do run in a windowed mode though, so I can click over to other windows as needed. I also have dual monitors.

I've always been able to minimize the game by hitting the button between Ctrl and Alt on the bottom left of my keyboard - the one with the Microsoft Windows logo that brings up the Start Menu. It throws the game to the taskbar for me.

IIRC other people have had luck using the Alt-Tab combination. Whether this still works if the game is the only app you have running, I don't know. It's never worked for me but when I run the game I typically don't have any other windows open.
