CWX Mod letting me down

melnibonian · 03-20-10, 04:00 AM

If you're having such problems it is probably an issue with your computer specs. I would recommend (as all the ones before me) to try to use a lighter version (i.e. little harbour traffic, reduced campaign files of BBW etc).

Give her time matey....the SH3 engine is showing her age now and actually loads everything at the initial boot sequence unlike the newer SHIV engine which loads bite size chunks depending on date chosen.

The better your system specs the quicker the load times.

Please give feedback so others will know if you've resolved the problem or not.

Using XP SP2. I'm not at all sure what my graphics card is set to, but everything in game is turned up.

I don't believe anything has changed on my computer since the last time I played GWX, but I shall attempt to wait it out. Thanks for the advice, will report back.

Can anyone advise?

get SP3 no matter what!!
no more security updates for XPsp2 soon (13th july i believe)
make sure your game version is 1.4b before installing GWX...
start the Museum?
start a GWX mission?

I'm running on XP SP3 quit a while now.
So far no issues discovered with the OS and SH3 with GWX 3

Same here. XP with SP3 is steady as a rock

My system uses a 3.0 Ghz system with tons of RAM and my average load time is between 3.5 to 5 minutes...give or take. Like it was said before...go get a snack or something....

My 3ghz systen with 2GB of RAM and XP SP2 loads the game in about 2-3mins.

Jimbuna · 03-20-10, 03:05 PM

SP3 should not prove problematic.

Sailor Steve · 03-20-10, 03:52 PM

Yeah, 5 minutes or more here as well. Be patient.
