I'm back!!!!!

[Alien147]

Well, as this seems to be an impromptu returned (returning?) serviceman's league, I thought I'd say hello.

I've been on a leave of absence for a while. Dabbled with SH5 but uninstalled it in disgust after a ridiculous Scapa Flow fiasco. It looked beautiful though...

Anyway, I find myself with a bit of time to kill so bought SH3 on Steam, long story but I think this is the third time I've bought it! Just installed GWX 3.0 Gold and looking forward to maybe even finishing a career sometime.

In case anyone is interested GWX to Steam SH3 install was easy, just need to re-direct the installer instead of the default install path (I've seen a fair few posts regarding this). And, I had a CTD at the loading screen when starting the first mission of a new GWX career. I didn't have this problem when I loaded the game vanilla (I couldn't wait to download and install GWX - I had to take a peek )- anyway, navigating to the physical SH3 Steam Apps directory, right clicking the SH3.exe and running as Administrator seemed to solve this issue (fingers crossed).

Also, I'm playing this on Windows 8.1, bootcamped on a MacBook Air! I never did find a solution to the Intel graphics bug...
