Thanks Wulfmann for the reply... that all sounds very devious... I love it!

Does this work with the steam version of the game?
If so is there a FAQ guide about how to get it to work? I understand that you download it in multiple .bin files and then an .exe file.
Is it as simple as pointing the .exe file in the right direction?

Thanks for any help

There is no FAQ for installations created by STEAM as those annoying "people" saw fit to change the default directory/file path.

HOWEVER, all you will need to do though is to point the GWX installer to wherever STEAM installed SH3 in your program files.

I hate STEAM.

What an idiotic, pain in the a$$ arrangement they have. I'm sure it is due to contractual obligation... but I just don't care. Fill in your favorite curse-word here: _____________

I'm not at all upset with you, FJ88. STEAM just has me STEAMED! They should buddy up with whoever was in charge of Window's Vista.

I am hoping the Steam version works with Vista 64 bit.
Otherwise I will own two copies of the game that do not work.

There is only one way to find out I guess.

Be persistant though. There are workarounds for Vista. Also, the GWX manual includes installation directions for Vista users. If you need to you can download the GWX manual by itself from our website. Just remember to redirect any mod installer to the different STEAM file-path for your game.

Also, to get GWX to work... you will need to first download and apply the Ubisoft 1.4b patch for SH3. (Unless your copy from Steam was delivered already patched.)

The Steam version comes with patch 1.4b built in. I just hope it works for Vista 64 bit. I was in anguish this afternoon upon realizing my DVD version no longer works

Well, don't toss the DVD out the window just yet. I could swear I've seen a workaround posted somewhere in these forums in days past.

hi, i just installed GWX3.0 and it works veeery good. Then i started a multiplayer session with a friend. Generated battles do work but if i choose a normal mission, it crashes on both of our computers at the same point on the loading screen (like 1cm before the end of that loading bar). Is there any way to fix that or are there special missions around in the internet because shooting those ships in normal missions is pretty boring as there are always the same ones.. We wanna shoot the Bismark or protect it.. Something like that would be nice =D

I've got a

problem, trying to install GWX3.

Specifically, I get a corrupt file error when installing (I can post the exact error, if someone wants it). I checked the MD5sums on the multipart installation files, and noted that gwx3-4.bin was off. Redownloaded it from Greywolves' site... and the MD5sum is still off. Tried the mirror site, with the same results.

All the other files are fine. No security software is running currently. Vista 32 bit (spent last night wiping 64 bit off, so I didn't have to repurchase SH3... gave me an excuse to clean the install, too).

Anyone have any suggestions? I tried a bit of search, thinking there might be a common issue, but had no luck.

Edit: I did a bit more searching, and found someone else with the same issue: I'll take a look at the "corrupt" file with GIMP and compare it to the others, as described in the post.

Have you tried downloading the file from my FF account?......the link is below my sig

theluckyone17 · 09-21-09, 04:14 PM

Yep... first Kpt. Lehmann's FileFront page, then yours, as listed on the GWX3 Download page. *helpless shrug*

I simply ignored the problem. The file, NKSs_T05.tga, was missing after the installation of GWX3. I simply copied NKSs_T06.tga, and renamed the copy.

Munchausen · 09-21-09, 08:27 PM

That makes at least three of us.

I made the substitute (actually, I opened all the similar files with Photoshop and swaped a couple things around, then saved at ... er, 32-bit TGA, I think) about a couple months ago and have been playing GWX-3 ever since without any problems. But I'm curious as to what the original NKSs_T05 looks like.

Any possibility of posting just that one file for download?

Thank you very much Irish. Have responded to your PM at the Lair as well.

I've now replaced the .bin #4 DL link on my FileFront page accessible via the GWX website.

Thanks again very much Irish1958.
