I have a 2.4G system with a 128 mg video and started with only 512 mg memory. Had some problems...though it would run. Once I bumped my memory up to 1 gig it ran faster. Then, when I bumped it up to a full 2 gig, I had no problems at all...except for the occassional stutter...

If you download GWX now and it works well enough to be playable - BONUS!
If you download GWX now and it's not playable, you have the files for when you're ready. - BONUS!

When you put it like that, it's got to be worth a try at least. Think I'll get downloading give it a bash.

Good man.

Be sure to pay the manual a visit while you're downloading. It's certainly worth it. I have NEVER seen a game manual that is that in-depth/accurate.

FYI, It contains important installation instructions.

You need to Download all the bin files, the GWX.exe and the GWX103.exe. You put them all in the same directory, run the GWX.exe and follow the instructions. After that you run the GWX103.exe to update it to v1.03. You can get them by clicking on the link under my signature. Your PC seems OK. If you can run SH3 without problems you will be OK with GWX.

Here are the detailed instructions concerning installations

Basic Install of GWX

1) Uninstall SH3 via Windows' "Add/Remove programs"
2) Open Windows Explorer and:
- *delete* the folder where you had installed SH3
- *delete* the \My Documents\SH3 folder
3) Reinstall SH3
4) If your SH3 did not come with patch v1.4b already included, install patch v1.4b. Ensure you install the patch that corresponds to your copy of SH3 (Download/DVD/EMEA/US)
5) OPTIONAL: Copy and paste this "clean" install as a backup to avoid the need to follow steps 1-3 if your game becomes corrupt in future
6) Visit the GWX Sticky (available by clicking on our sigs) and download into the SAME folder GWX.exe and the five .bin files. While there grab the v1.03 patch
7) Run GWX.exe and follow the installation prompts
8. Run GWX103.exe and follow the installation prompts
9) SH3 COMMANDER USERS: Visit the GWX Sticky and download the GWX 1.02+ Cfg files for SH3 Commander and unzip the contents DIRECTLY into your SH3 Commander\Cfg folder.

Install of Multiple Versions

1) Complete a fresh install of SH3 + 1.4b as normal.
2) Create a copy of the program folder & rename as required.
3) Install your mod of choice to the renamed version.
4) Create and rename shortcuts as required.
5) Use MultiSH3 to create separate save locations for each install.

SH3 Commander & Multiple Installs

It is recommended to have a separate install of Commander for each different install of SH3.
1) Install SH3Commander and rename the program folder to suit.
2) Rename each SH3Cmdr shortcut as required.
3) You will need to use the l: switch to point SH3Cmdr to the right installation.

Here's an example of the l: switch for dual installs, just tailor it to fit.....

Right click on the SH3Cmdr shortcut & choose properties.

Target
"C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander-GWX\SH3Cmdr.exe" /l:"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent HunterIII-GWX"

Start in
"C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander-GWX"
