If you're about Correction_WAC3.0_Final, there are changed filenames only, as I remember. Can't say exactly, I don't have original WAC. Fixed it and repacked for myself.

I tried the correction, after a new install and the game started in a campaign, got about half way out of Lorient, and...... you guessed it CTD AGAIN.
My hair wont last much longer now- sinking into the depths....

Are you running it under compatibility mode?

I don't have any problems running SH3 on vista...so...hmmm...

But, the things I do to get most older games to work (and some programs as well) is to do the following.

Under the Compatibility tab in the right click properties menu, do this:

-Run under XP
-Disable Visual themes
-Disable Desktop composition
-Disable display scaling
-Run as administrator

Do those 5 things and see if that helps.

Hi guys!

So.. actually it seems that Makman and me figured out the problem.
It really seems to be the language with these german letters which cuase crahes to desktop.
For Makman it has been the lnd_layer which contains german letters of the 2 german bridges and the windmill. He deleted these in the corresponding files and it works now for him.

With this new information I will have a look over the 3.0 files and make a 3.1 version out of it containing the bug fix and the fix for the language problem letters.

greetings
Han

Thanks Han! Your work is awesome!

Will wait for this bug fix and, most of all, WAC 4.0 release

Hello Han

After all this time, thanks to Makman and yourself- I am sure I will eventually enjoy the game, and will also run the 4.0 version once sorted out, and report back!

Look forward to those new files.
