you can use GAMEBOOSTER or ALACRITYPC to help shut down background programmes. i personally used ALACRITYPC - I have a new pc now, with alacrity i was able to shut down nearly 100 background progs' which freed up loads in terms of cpu and memory on my old rig - which was similar to yours now.

with the mods, there are loads. i am at the moment on a laptop so i can not flag up my mod list. im sure others will be along soon with their help!

good luck and welcome back once again!



edit: after bacon butties and coffee + getting up!

my mod list, so far.

GWX - Captain America's Officer Icons
GWX - Lite Harbor Traffic
GWX - No Medals on Crew
GWX - Open Hatch Mod
Real Depth Charge
Rbs1_SH4_Effects_GWX_30_71
DBSM for SH3
Dowly's NeinHerrKaleu Mod
Extreme Wet Weather Gear Mod
Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.3 for GWX3
Flags_enlighten
Das Boot Clothes
GWX - 16km Atmosphere
Haunting Atlantic Wind
LifeBoats&Debris_v4
Hitman Optics for GWX3 v.1

You know, I don't see h.sies hardcode fixes in here, thats definitely a must for SHIII, once I get my PC and get SHIII and 5 installed, I will definitely be re downloading H.sie's mod. Not too tough at all to install either.

Great fix/mod though, adds immersion, fixes things like watch officer, repair and flooding times are now real, forces you to be going slow or stopped to use periscope or a blur will occur, in choppy seas you have to be below like 16m and level to load tubes, and more

@ Sailor Steve however, doesn't GWX and or Commander have a no disk patch already in it? I seem to remember booting up SH3 every time without disk whenever I clicked on commander or GWX to play

I actually think you can choose which ones are opted in and out. But even if you don't, its worth it, I think all of them are, ups the immersion nicely. Its actually a nerve racking decision to decide to load external torps because of now I cannot dive in the middle of it and it takes me more than a few seconds plus I have to be a sitting duck

Actually Im not sure. I WANT to say yes, but I seem to remember being out at sea and installing just fine, find and read the thread, he has all info on there.
Oh and enjoy the added immersion/realism when you install it

Yes, GWX comes with JSGME installed. It may not be the newest version, which is 2.6.0.157. My point is that JSGME works with any game.
