GWX v1.03 CTD

[Umfuld]

Hm, maybe that is just an update. I come and go so I think I thought it was all a new release. Anywho, try posting here:

That's their thread in the Mod section of SHIII. Maybe you'll find your answer already there

Right order is

SH3
1.4B patch
GWX 1.0
GWX 1.03

Old careers may not work going from 1.0 to 1.03 due to campaign and unit changes

This is the install order that I'm useing:

SH3
1.4b
GWX 1.0
GWX 1.03 <--= This is where it stops working

If I install the GWX 1.01 update instead of the 1.03 it does work. What I was hoping is that someone would remember if any animations/videos were added to the main menu screen between GWX 1.01 and GWX 1.03? I'm hoping that there was and if I could find out what was added I could find a way around it.

Does anyone still have the 1.02 update laying around? Maybe I can at least get that working.

Start afress and follow these simple steps

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.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: Download the GWX 1.02+ Cfg files for SH3 Commander and unzip the contents DIRECTLY into your SH3 Commander\Cfg folder.

Hi jimbuna

That is exactly how I am installing it. Unfortunately there seems to be a conflict between my machine and gwx 1.03. I am able to run it if I install gwx 1.01 update but it's a no go for 1.03.

When starting 1.03 it crashes to desktop about 1 second after the red bar fills in. I see a brief flash of a screen but it happens so fast that I can't tell what it is. I'm hoping that someone that knows the code well enough can tell me what changed on the main screen between version 1.01 and 1.03 so that I can disable/workaround what ever it is and get the game to start. Any ideas?

Does anyone still have the 1.02 update laying around? :hmm:

BTW

all files do check good against the md5 values
i do delete the mydocs/sh3 folder
i do delete the game folder after uninstall

Have you checked the downloaded files md5 hash to ensure there's no corrupted files?

Just prior to number 3 in my earlier post, insert the game disc and perform the 'uninstall' operation.
I'm don't know where you got your exe and bin files from, but might I suggest you try d/l them from my sig.
I am 100% confident of there reliability and know that a few people in the past with similar problems to yours have used them successfully.
