All-weather guns not working in GWX

storm-petrel · 05-03-14, 04:26 PM

Yes AH I am...but am now going to do a fresh install of SH3, GWX and SH3 Commander.

Jimbuna said not to install in the 86x directory, so what is an alternative ?

Can you give me a guide on this ?

Thanks for your help pal.

Install to a folder named SH3, for example. Just not Program Files or program Files (x86). Because those 2 files are, by default, protected by User Access Control from being modified.

BTW, I suspect you are having the same problem (UAC) with modifying the .cfg file. Go to Control Panel/User Accounts and give yurself Administrator privileges. That should eliminate problems of this type.

Installed to a Games folder and can now edit the cfg. files, many thanks for your help all of you.

Well that's the problem. For some reason that notepad doesn't like to work with editing those files.(At least it didn't on mine.) You should try Notepad++. It's free and quite good.

Not Notepad, but UAC. Once he got the game out of Program Files (x86), the UAC let him edit whatever he wanted.

Funny as not even that worked on mine. In fact I wasn't even able to get SH3 to work properly until I moved it INTO the (x86) Program Files.

Why have you installed the game into x86 in the first place?

I didn't. I knew the problem it caused so I moved it into its own folder. However turns out that's what was causing me all my problems as one I moved the game folders into x86 the game's been running perfectly.
