GWX seizing up on starting

Frank0001 · 04-10-08, 04:52 PM

Hello everyone,

I have just installed the GXW 2.0 mod, but somehow it seizes up when I start a career. It loads the mission, but when it's done loading, it'll seize up.
The training missions do work fine.

What is the problem here? Is my computer not up to it, or is it a glitch?

Thanks in advance,

Kaleun Zimmerman

Hmm, do you mean it crashes to desktop and gives you soem sort of windows error message or do you mean that the red loading bar is full but nothing seems to be happening...

in the first case, could you post your PC specs and any error you might get...

in the second, your impatience got the better of you, if you hadn't seen the "not so long ago...." screen yet, there is no reason to panic, I've noticed that especially when first loading a campaign after the install it may take a very long time to get going, but it does do so, the red loading bar is also not very accurate the first time you load up a campaign..

could you post you PC specs anyway, it'll help us help you

Is the career you are loading a pre-GWX 2.0?

Hello again and thanks for the replies, here are some of my computer specs, I'm not sure what you'll need...(don't know much about computers...)

AMD Sempron Processor 3200+
1.79 GHz
704 MB

Not sure where to find the rest of it.

Oh, and my error was the first situation kaleun Cranky suggested. It will start the red loading bar, and when that's finished, it'll just return to windows, sometimes with, sometimes without an error-message (which doesn't say what kind of error it is)

EDIT: the career is a brand new one, and isn't loaded from the old SHIII save-game folder (which I deleted)

Hmm.. on a related note, my GWX has started to do the exact same thing....

... and has gotten progressively worse, unfortunately.

I am writing this message from Safe Mode, actually.

I suspect it has something to do with nHancer.

I was running fine, tried out nHancer, lost all damage effects.... so I uninstalled it.

Then the game kept crashing just as a mission was about to load.
So I decided to reboot... and no dice.

Unable to boot, Windows just seizes up.

So I'm on here trying to find out what drivers are affected and to try and reverse the problem!

Edit:

Problem solved by re-downloading the Nvidia Force Driver Service pack.
I've got gameplay and some smoke / fire. But enhanced damage still seems to be out of order.... I don't get the secondary explosions.
Is there any difference in the order I activate the Mods?
I'm running it:

English Nav References
Integrated Orders
16km Atmosphere
Merged Campaign
Enhanced Damage Effects

I've tried doing 16km after Damage, with no results... I was pretty sure thats how I was running before and I had no problems.
Any suggestions?

And to Frank: I suggest you try and disable a few Mods running as well, or post a list of what you're running in what order, and maybe someone will be able to sort it out!

It almost sounds like the save game bug. Or, have you deleted Player from the list of campaign names? That'll do it.
