How did you install your game?

[Unterseeboot]

Darn it. I destroyed my game again!

Let us see if we can gain some useful knowledge from my experiences so far...

Here is the bug and solution.

If you start a mission in GWX and you have a completely black sky in the daytime then there is a mismatch between the scene.dat file and the skycolors.dat file. The GWX Team has found this is often the result of not correctly install GWX. Roll back SH3 Commander.

Seems to be really difficult for a newbie to install SH3 because the FAQ is are all over the place. As I understand it here is the whole process in one list.

1.Installed fresh SH3 on brand new computer.

2.Patched to 1.4

3.Started Game to install outdated Starforce (otherwise nothing to patch)

4.Patched Starforce

5.Reboot (To update registry)

6.Running game tested.

7.GWX 3 downloaded

8.Downloads verived.

9.GWX 3 install.

10.Running game tested fine.

11.At this point everything worked fine until I tried getting SH3 Commander working. Installed SH3 Commander.

12.Patched SH3 Commander to 3.1.3.185

13.Patched SH3 Commander with SH3PatLogEd120.zip

14.Patched SH3 Commander with GWX_2.1_Cfg_4_SH3Cmdr3.0.7z (apparently current patch for GWX 3:hmm:. Readme appears to give wrong install routine.


15.Game run and we have black sky!!!! So now I am going to have to unpick all of this and start from scratch.


Anybody got any ideas on a total install sequence for all the above patches so there are no errors?
