Try different resolutions. I have a problem with windows8 and some resolutions; and have had CTD with the resolution fix.

Two suggestions:

First, install the 4GB Patch. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=2888. You are running Win8 and have 8 GB, but stock sh3.exe only knows about 2GB RAM. Installing the 4 GB patch will let SH3 use more RAM, which GWX seems to really need. I suggest you try this first.

If that doesn't resolve your problem, try removing the hi-res fix. There might be an incompatibility with your hardware, or with Win8. The high res fix I am aware of was originally developed for Win XP/SP2, so may not work with your edition of Win8.

Please post your results.

Ok at moment I reinstall everything fresh and will apply 4 gb patch and not apply res fix. Will try this and see how it works.

Will let you know results.

Installed all again. Applied 4gb patch before sh3.

Ran stock sh3 all is fine with saves.

Ran Stock sh3 with sh 3 commander all works fine.

Installed gwx 3.0

Ran gwx 3.0 with sh3 commander and CTD every time I load a game or begin new career.

Ran normal game resolution CTD

Ran 1920x1080 resolution CTD.

Seems Gwx 3.0 may be causing the ctd.

Thanks for suggestions

Did you install in the program files?

Depaor1970 · 07-15-13, 01:38 PM

Insatlled in ProgramFilesX86

Downloaded GWX 3.0 again from subsim link. Save worked so now I try some resolution chamges.

CTD again when I load career or start new career. I surrender. It worked on new resolution and old and then stops working. I am frustrated.

Does changing realism settings cause CTD with GWX 3.0 (clutching at straws here I think)
