*sigh*

i installed GWX (installer hanged when it wanteed to create the desktop icons) but gwx worked fine. no errors all mods i wanted enabled and then i went on playing.

Then i thought ok sh3 commander is stable, so ill install that to, including the gwx3 config files. I set up my carrier and did not check the historical box as the documentation from gwx suggested.

Now i finished a patrol. And went as the game suggested 5 days after the patrol back. closed sh3, then sh 3 commander seemed to hang... (i enabled roll back on sh3 exit). few hours later i closed sh3 commander and launched it again to try a rollback ... i see a message "copying files but actually harddisk is not working"....

I understand that it's all fan made, but what i dont understand is that there are no error messages i can work with. I don't see what iam doing wrong and then Gwx installer hangs at the end (still ok or not?) then sh3 commander hangs (great now i cannot rollabck to my old version because I dont know what the thing changed...)

Could that be all vista user permissions?

rgds and sorry for the rant - i know that the makers really put a lot of thought time and effort in these tools and they are great, probably iam just to stupid to use them

PS: probably the important thing is now, on how to rollback manually... if that is possible. Backup folder in sh3 commander is empty with the folders data/roster being present...

Hi !

Which version of SH3 Commander do you use it? The current version is 3.2!

And why do not write your question in the SH3 Commander 3.2 "Sticky"- Thread here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...147237&page=12 ?

Best regards,
Magic

Thanks for your response.
Probably I didn't see it there andyes maybe the other thread would be better.


I reinstalled now all again from admin rights and on a clean folder the gwx installation succeeded without an error the 2nd time. So somewhere I must have done something unexpected before.

Now I have installed SH3 commander (the latest version, I had it before too), but I did not try it out yet. And I am not sure if I should

One question:
In stock sh3 when I start the "diesel" engines (1/3 ahead etc) I hear them clearly. When GWX is installed I hear them only in the "outside" view. As I said I did not tinker with the TC settings this time and the previous "SH3 own document files" were deleted.

I will check also the SH3 cmdr. thread for infos

Thanks again!
