I noticed that my fuel consumption is more realistic or it seems so because the fuel gauge is easier to read. I cruse and patrol at 7kts. So that being said, I'm plotting out my stratigy a was wondering if the surface resupply ships are edited to allow pseudo docking ? For example, the Bessel.

My only request would to incorperate the Moon Mod (Night Surface Attacks) at some point, and to brighten up the deck fires a bit on burning ships at night, when useing the Enhanced Special Effects.

Thanx. Great mod, love it.

Up-Date, Yes , I got my answer to my inquiry on surface re-supply ships.

Thanks again,much appreciated.

Hey blackswan40 when installing sh3 from the zip you sent me do I need any patches at all for just the sh3 install? I know you said the GWX GW.KC is patched up already,but to just play SH3 vanilla what do I need also? Sorry for being a pest. Thanks

Tried to start a new Career 1945 with 7th/13th Flotilla at Trondheim.
Here I get a Typ II boat, and everythings runs great.

But when trying to starting another career 1945, where I will get a Typ VII boat, the game crashes everytime when leaving loading screen and changing into uboat 3D view. Did I miss something to activate, or anyone can help? Thanks!

I understand that it is not possible to play in multiplayer, right? I don't see the option in the game menu.

Sosondowah!...after a 3-year 'silent run'!

I've looked into the crashing in detail and have now found the trigger.
It happens due to the additional mod ‘GWX - KC Enhanced Special Effects’. As soon as this mod is active through JSGME, the game crashes as soon as switching from loading screen into the UBoat. This does not happen with the standard starting 1939 campaign, but in many career starts that happen later than 1939.

In any case, as soon as the mod ‘GWX - KC Enhanced Special Effects’ is active, the game crashes with most scenarios for me. Any other addon mod does not make any problems.

Can you please take another look at the problem? Thank you very much!

Hi sossenbinder.

I have so far been unable to replicate the problem you are describing.

Please post the full mods list that you are using.

Regardless of specifications, some systems may struggle a bit when using the GWX - KC Enhanced Special Effects included optional mod. This seems to be most accurate as a statement during career first patrols as the career is 'seated' into the savegame file when first used. Ensure that you are deleting your save 'SH3' game files in 'Documents.' It is good protocol to keep only one career there at a time.

Also, remember to not purchase equipment or crew for your U-boat on the first patrol.

Also, you must remember to NOT Alt-Tab out of the game screen. Modern SH3 does not like that one bit. If you have gotten into the habit of doing this, thinking it is safe, you should stop.

If you continue to have the same troubles, discontinue using the Enhanced Special Effects included optional mod.

Something to bear in mind: In GWX-KC, as in all big mods, the resource demand increases as the war goes on. Piling on mods and more content will threaten the 4gb (3.86gb actual) channel memory budget. That budget does not care one wit about what any of us want.
