CWX Mod letting me down

Give her time matey....the SH3 engine is showing her age now and actually loads everything at the initial boot sequence unlike the newer SHIV engine which loads bite size chunks depending on date chosen.

The better your system specs the quicker the load times.

Please give feedback so others will know if you've resolved the problem or not.

Using XP SP2. I'm not at all sure what my graphics card is set to, but everything in game is turned up.

I don't believe anything has changed on my computer since the last time I played GWX, but I shall attempt to wait it out. Thanks for the advice, will report back.

Can anyone advise?

get SP3 no matter what!!
no more security updates for XPsp2 soon (13th july i believe)
make sure your game version is 1.4b before installing GWX...
start the Museum?
start a GWX mission?

I'm running on XP SP3 quit a while now.
So far no issues discovered with the OS and SH3 with GWX 3

Same here. XP with SP3 is steady as a rock

My system uses a 3.0 Ghz system with tons of RAM and my average load time is between 3.5 to 5 minutes...give or take. Like it was said before...go get a snack or something....

My 3ghz systen with 2GB of RAM and XP SP2 loads the game in about 2-3mins.

Jimbuna · 03-20-10, 03:05 PM

SP3 should not prove problematic.

Sailor Steve · 03-20-10, 03:52 PM

Yeah, 5 minutes or more here as well. Be patient.

I posted this in an identical thread in the mods section:
When GWX loads, it takes a long time. GWX increases the number of ships from stock and has to load every one of them. Load times when going from stock to GWX increases significantly. The first time you see this, it looks like the game has locked up. It hasn't though. I thought the same thing first time I loaded up GWX.

On my old rig, when I first installed GWX the load time was about 15 minutes.

My newer rig does it in about 10 minutes-a little better. I've heard people with better computers have load times of 3-5 minutes with GWX. Lucky sobs

.

You guys with 3-5 minute load times are killing me.
