GWX1.02 running in 10 easy steps!

As far as I read it you don't need a "clean install" Just remove every thing from JSME including the "backup" rename your saved careers install the patch reinstall your mods via JSME but your saved career folder back and away you go! No bloody way am I re-installing sh3 clean again with 1.4 patch.

I know you don't need a clean instal,
this is just a way for the guys that are having GWX 1.02 patch install isues...

the clean install its allways the best option,
and for that nothing better then following this 10 simple steps...

I have a spare SH3 plus 1.4 install
Copy and get another one to mod as I see fit

As I am always testing\modding and screwing with my game its normal to have to start a new GWX install regulary

The 1.02 patch you guys have is the second one
The Dev team and testers had the first one which couldnt be overwritten by the second so we had no choice to use another install

As most of them had a " out the box " GWX install for MP it was easy to create another GWX install for updating

If you get errors with the installer that point to JSGME files still remaining then removing the Back up file doesnt cure the problem
Sure you can fool the installer and patch the game but you may leave yourself with a timebomb waiting for CTD

Its easy to get into the habit of adding\removing through JSGME and using JSGME to delete unwanted mods
SH3Commander 2.7 reminds you to rollback so that shouldnt be an issue either

Just one question. I have the Dec 23rd patch in my JSMGE folder enabled that way. DO we even need that patch anymore? What I mean is can I just delete the 23rd patch once I upgrade to 1.02 GWX? Thanks much for the help and thanks bigboywooly for having a link to the 1.02 on your filefront link.

From the Patch 1.02 release thread (it is an informative read btw):

Quote:

GWX Patch 1.02 includes all individual GWX fixes released to date. You do not need to re-install any previous GWX patch or hotfix after patch 1.02. Indeed, this patch will delete from JSGME any previous patches or hotfixes that it finds.

Pls. read the manual guys!
It's what?
15 minutes reading!
But it will spare you some nughtmares and CTD...

Like JSCones say, Read the manual my friends before
rushing into the install right away....
