GWX 2.1 careers in GWX 3.0

Captain Nemo · 01-07-09, 09:26 AM

Well, with all the positive talk of GWX 3.0 I couldn't wait any longer, so I backed up my career (whilst in port) and installed GWX 3.0 over a clean install of SH3 1.4b. After running SH3 with GWX once I put my backed up career back in the newly created SH3 folder in my documents and fired up SH3/GWX 3.0 and loaded my old GWX 2.1 career. So far no problems to report, my career appears to be working normally. Lets hope it remains that way.

By the way, my thanks to the GWX team who have done another outstanding job of improving SH3

I followed Captain Nemo's procedure to try to continue the career (w/6 missions completed) I had underway in 2.1. The last save point in my 2.1 career was "at sea" early in mission #7. When I attempted to load that save point, the game CTD.

I restarted the game, and this time tried loading the save point when I was in port before mission #7. This save point loaded successfully. After playing for a while, I saved (while at sea) and exited. When I loaded the new save, all continued to be well.

So, it looks like the key to being able to continue a 2.1 career is to resume it while in port, and not while at sea.

My career from GWX 2.1 works perfectly with GWX 3.0.

I did exactly as you said and have no problems with GWX 2.1 career over GWX Gold too. The most important thing is do it "in port". Saves "at sea" don't work and make CTD.

As many members says, you need, at least stay in port to continue your current campaign (saving in sea, you'll have a nice CTD).
