Quick question : anyone getting freezes with GWX 1.02?

[scalelokt]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm by no means a computer expert, anytime there is a problem I have to resort strictly to trial and error to find the cause. It seems that with 1.2 I am crashing and with regular GWX I'm not, however if you feel certain that 1.2 isnt causing this then I'll take your word for it. When I reinstalled SH3 it was definitly a clean reinstall, I uninstalled SH3, deleted the folder on the hard drive, the save games, all the mods, everything. So I dont think that would be the cause. However I will keep trying different things and I'll definitly let you all know when I get it figured out just in case any of you have the same problems as me. Thanks again for the feedback, dont think I've ever seen a forum with so many friendly and helpful people!

Just to clarify my original post, my 'events' are not CTDs, they're screen lock-ups hence my use of the term freezes. I posted because I hadn't seen anyone talk about lock-ups, only CTDs.

FWIW I re-loaded up one of my saves which had previously frozen last night, headed towards a large convoy, torpedoed a a couple of ships, dove, evaded a V&W, came back, torpedoed, dove etc. without a freeze. So it doesn't happen all the time.

My problem might be something in what you say JScones - I followed the instructions for a working game not a clean re-install. If the problems persist I now know to try F12 as above or if that doesn't work do a clean re-install, so it's no big hassle.

PS Many thanks JScones for your continuing advice and help, not to mention for Commander, GWX etc.!

One other thing, do you get freezes when you are using time compression ?
Be very careful using TC1024 especially if you are approaching land, harbour or similar as your screen can lock up and sound will loop.
