GWX beginner/setup

U-84 · 06-18-09, 07:51 PM

got a new laptop, and have been playin SH4 for the past month, and im loving the hot tropic atmosphere of the pacificalong with the island girls it brings LOL jk , anyways, on a much more important scale, i've been wanting to switch back to SH3 and try out GWX and was wondering how do i get set up?, do i instal thevery first version, then install the newer ones? or do i simply install 3.1?

You are showing excellent judgment.
Make a clean install of SH3 and patch it to 1.4b. Even better, get a new DVD, already patched and starforce free, for only $9.99. and use that.
Then dl GWX 3.0 Gold and enjoy.
There are hundreds of mods (some of them rather good, if I don't say so myself)
This is not a dying game! Play it, and see if you can improve it!

Start with a clean install of SH3. Patch it to version 1.4b (unless your install version is already patched to 1.4b)

Donwload GWX 3.0 and install it. That's all there is to it!

LOL! Offtopic but Damn! Man! it would have been nice to have a CD that is starforce free. I bought my SH3 on ebay (EMEA) for 30$ when it came out. Unfortunately shipping was 20$ so it completely negated any gains I had on saving money. LOL! Anyways.... dang!!! Starforce is sooo annoying.

If ever you have a choice, choose the option that avoids Starforce
