Having at last decided to give up all hope of ever installing WAC v4.1 into my PC at least until I have installed more RAM into the machine, I set about making a clean installation of SHIII and then added to it the GWX3 supermod. I finished the installation and launched the modded game: CTD at 90% loading.
It was working fine 3 days ago before I decided to change to WAC, and vanilla SHIII also works. What the hell has happened?

Of course it is very frustrating not getting the game to run with the mods you want to play... I hope you will get it running some day... I wish you all the luck .
As I created WAC4.0 I also had problems getting this version running on Vista64 but I could solve out all the problems with 4.1 and the 4GB Patch. For me it runs now on XP32 Bit, Vista64Bit with 4GB of Ram and Win764Bit with 3GB of Ram. Really sad but maybe you can take parts of WAC4.1 for you SH3 installations. At the moment I am working on some new subpen life, which will be ready in some days, I think. greetings Han |

@ moscowexile
Ahoi there! Sorry for being late, but I had to find out first... My last idea on this irritating thing is the following: 1. Have a clean vanilla SH3 (running) 2. Overwrite it with an existing (running) WAC installation. I know that works for me, because I just tested. WAC itself does not touch the registry. Just copy and past... So, the WAC fittes onto a double layer dvd. If you are interested in that, drop me a PM, it won't cost you anything. danasan Last edited by danasan; 01-09-10 at 02:12 AM. |

Ahoy there danasan!
Thanks for your offer of help. I shall drop you a line later. I last wrote that having given up hope of installing WAC, I had gone back to GWX, only to find that GWX now no longer loads into the PC, whereas earlier yesterday I had determined that vanilla SHIII could still be loaded. Having stowed my hammock this morning, I just could not believe that my failed attempts at WAC installation could have had anything to do with this annoying situation; then suddenly I realised the likely cause of my problem: when I was last back in my home port several days ago with GWX, I installed a ship mod that turned out to be GWX incompatible. I then made the happy discovery of two new SHIII supermods - LSH and WAC - and decided to give them a try. LSH worked fine: WAC gave me a host of problems. When I at last gave up the ghost last night as regards installing WAC, I reinstalled GWX together with the last GWX mod folder that I had backed up, which folder still contained the incompatible mod that I had forgotten about and not deleted when I was docked at St. Nazaire. I have just deleted that GWX incompatible mod and am now outward bound from Wilhelmshaven for a training cruise around Helgoland. I still feel that I can get WAC up and running on this machine of mine. I shall install more RAM into it - one cannot have too much RAM, I believe; as I have written earlier, this rig handles with ease several games that are very demanding graphics-wise. Good hunting! Over and out.

...perhaps the Thread Title should be renamed from "War Ace Campaign 4.1" to "moscowexile Thread"...
Sorry, little joke, not meant unkindly !!! Best regards, Magic Last edited by Magic1111; 01-09-10 at 06:18 PM. |

Bonjour, Eridon.
How many copies of SH3 are on your hard drive? And how many SH3 folders are in your Documents and Settings? Edit: As Danasan states, the 4GB patch only works with Vista and Win 7. Does your latest WAC installation still contain this modification? Last edited by Cheapskate; 01-11-10 at 07:53 AM. |

Hello Eridon,
What I found out is: Remember the 4 GB patch is only for machines with MORE than 2 GB of RAM. And it is NOT made for Windows XP, only for VISTA and WIN 7! If you install the 4GB Patch, but having only 2 GB of RAM, it seems that SH3 will ALWAYS CTD after that. I could prove that on only one machine so far. I had to backup the whole windows after that. I was lucky to have an image. But I think SH3 will not work for you as long as Windows is not reinstalled. Edit: I, of course, tried to owerwrite the patched SH3.exe with a fresh one, it did not work for me... Last edited by danasan; 01-11-10 at 05:32 PM. |

Win7 & WAC 4.1 90% loading crash
(solution is written in the patch readme of WAC 4.1) I had a similar problem. My game did always crash after 90% loading when i tried to play the campaign wheras I had not any problems with the tutorial missions, I did use the Win7/Vista Patch and installed the mod correct. My win7 system has 4gb ram but i still had this issue. After i googled a bit i did find a solution for this problem, at least i can play now the game hell even the campaign Here is the solution which did help me: After you have installed the mod (WAC 4.1) and patched the .exe with the WAC win7/Vista patch open your windows command console (cmd) in administration mode and write the following. After you get a successfull message in the console, restart your system. bcdedit /set increaseuserva 2900 I did find some infos but those are german pages (maybe you can google translate it), you should google for this command line so you know what does it changes and why it helps to start the game. http://www.pc-experience.de/wbb2/thr...threadid=24883 The default setting should be 2048 if Iam correct and you want to change it back: http://www.sevenforums.com/general-d...-settings.html Hope this will help anyone to start Silent Hunter with WAC 4.1 and windows7 if you still have problems. I did read all kind of forums also this one to find a fix and thought i will register and post my success, maybe it will help some here aswell. Cya and thx a lot for this great mod !!

Ehm, this info is in the readme already. And if you want to change it back the default setting should be to remove it:
Code:
bcedit /deletevalue increaseuserva |

Yes, it was the video card driver in my case. I can confirm that.
