Thanks for your quick reply.

I have installed it with jsgme but will try the way you suggest and let you know what happens.

Regards

Hi!
If you choose JSME to install WAC3.0 you have to be patience!
It depends on your system how long it takes to copy all files but it may take 15-20 minutes.
If you wanna be sure all files are installed on the right way, copy all files manually to their folder like Mikhayl said.

With WAC3.0 installed you will also get a new intro movie, new loadings screens and new menu screens

greetings

Vista 32bit.

I think I isntalled it rong. Im gona try agian, I think I might have made a mistake when installing WAC.

HanSolo78 · 12-13-08, 01:58 PM

Hm... with your system you should get much better FPS. I have a C2duo and a 8800gt and I get about 20 FPS in big harbours like Wilhelmshaven and more than 60 FPS at sea with vsync enabled.

hmmm, might have been a bad install. (I was haveing issues with the Conpressed files also)

Try a clean install, uninstall game, remember to erase the sh3 folder at My Documents... defrag your hard drive, install game, install patch, and do... "copy and paste" of the WAC files... do not use any program to install. Works fine.

Hi Guys

Thanks for your messages, much appreciated.

I now have it running smoothly, and I needed to use the MultiSH3 save game splitter (as I have the game also on another drive), then loaded it via SH3 commander and it runs beautifully.
If anyone has any problems, and wants to know my settings etc, I am happy to reply.

Thanks again

Because it has life, action and good graphics. With a good video card it is very good.

The only trubble is that you need a merchant full of torpedoes following your submarine!

robbythesub · 12-16-08, 04:55 PM

Thats true, but each torpedo does lots of damage eh?

Has anyone found a problem with the game crashing if you increase the number of crew when going back to port, and then starting a new mission?

geosub1978 · 12-16-08, 06:01 PM

Sounds intresting. I had some ctds with no obvious reason, after loading a new patrol. I hadn't report anything because I couldn't find any relation concerning the involved ships, harbors or dates. Maybe this could be a reason, I always do some crew changes.
