But if you think that SH4 has long load times, just wait until you see the ones for SH3 and GWX. You're talking at least 2 to 3 minutes, easy. This is not a knock on GWX, because I understand the reasoning behind it....it adds so much stuff that there's no way around long load times.

On a P4, 3.6 Ghz, 2 MB ram from the time I click the SH3 icon to the time I am in a campaign patrol we are talking 7 minutes.

I was being very conservative. But now that I think about it, you're right. I would have time to load a game, walk to the mailbox all the way across my apartment complex and come back and still have time to spare.

I'm not sayin' it's not worth the wait.

I'm just sayin' at my age and with my habits 7 minutes is a considerable percentage of the time I have left

Agreed - I'm staying with SH3. Right now I'm shadowing a westbound convoy in the shallows near the mouth of the St. Lawrence

I might consider getting SH4 if the devs ever decide to complete the project (i.e. with a few gigs of patching). Thank god I didn't buy it when it came out; I would have flipped - no bonus materials (Canada) and alpha code

Heh... you and me both.

My habits aren't as daft as they once were, but I'm feeling the minutes being compressed as the years roll in.

you going to love gwx,its great,im so disapointed at ubisoft and sh4,well this game has more bugs,than in my backyard,i was playing multiplayer a while back,and the game was running ok,but then it started acting weird,like it was locking up barely moving,i think im going to wait a couple of months into they fix all this stuff.i will get back to gwx.just make sure to read all the intallation instruccions,well if you dont do it like they say,you will have problems.

rdhiggins · 03-26-07, 03:37 PM

WOW GWX looks pretty damn awesome......

I am downloading all of the files right now.

Does the explosions from GWX look just as good compared with SH4?

I can see a lot of detail went into GWX. I hope that these modders apply their skill and expertise to SH4.

Funny you say that, because I seem to get the opposite and find that whenever I'm in Scotland the days feel like weeks

ReM · 03-26-07, 03:36 PM

Playing the GWX expansion SH III will give you a glance at what SH IV could look like in about 22 months time (if the modders here want to do their magic again)...it is a diamond out of the rough.

Let's hope so!

I'm sure it's a conditioning thing...

The longer you spend here, the less bleak and uninviting the place seems. Maybe.

You're obviously a native, given your username, so don't rub my nose in it by bragging about your new exotic location, thanks.

New, oh no? I've spent most of the last 15 odd years out in the Gulf

Born an expat, raised an expat. Spent more time outside Scotland than in it, and unsurprisingly I have an aversion to dark skies, wind and rain.

Well with 2MB of ram im very surprised it started at all

rdhiggins · 03-26-07, 03:09 PM

Pardon me on this question....

I have SH3 as well as SH4.

What is GWX is it just a mod or something special? Also where is a good place to download it and check it out?

Thanks!

Totally redesigns SH3, and it's the definitive version of it.
