Could you give a few more details about your computer? I had similar problems when I first started SH3 lo these many moons ago - turned out to be a memory problem ( as in not enuf). A similar situation exists now when I try and load too many mods - it gets to a point and then just barfs.....

The load bar will pause for a while at that point before it finishes loading, give it a few minutes to finish, there is a lot going on at that point in the loading process.

True, sometimes I'm almost convinced it's gonna crash and then it finally finishes and I'm in my uboat.

IME if it's actually stopped loading and there's a problem/crash, an error box pops up saying the program has encounted a problem and needs to close.

We're in agreement. If the screen doesn't go black and give you an error message then it's probably still loading. GWX has a lot of files, and can take awhile to load.
