I'm back!!!!!

Welcome back.. I too have returned in the last few days to smell the diesel fumes again.

Let me know how you get on with LSH3..

I kept crashing to desktop.. Might re try a fresh install to be honest.

GWX is brutal but the detail makes vanilla look like a early beta..
I would love something close to the immersion and depth of GWX with AI somewhat closer to or at stock level.

Well, as this seems to be an impromptu returned (returning?) serviceman's league, I thought I'd say hello.

I've been on a leave of absence for a while. Dabbled with SH5 but uninstalled it in disgust after a ridiculous Scapa Flow fiasco. It looked beautiful though...

Anyway, I find myself with a bit of time to kill so bought SH3 on Steam, long story but I think this is the third time I've bought it! Just installed GWX 3.0 Gold and looking forward to maybe even finishing a career sometime.

In case anyone is interested GWX to Steam SH3 install was easy, just need to re-direct the installer instead of the default install path (I've seen a fair few posts regarding this). And, I had a CTD at the loading screen when starting the first mission of a new GWX career. I didn't have this problem when I loaded the game vanilla (I couldn't wait to download and install GWX - I had to take a peek

)- anyway, navigating to the physical SH3 Steam Apps directory, right clicking the SH3.exe and running as Administrator seemed to solve this issue (fingers crossed).

Also, I'm playing this on Windows 8.1, bootcamped on a MacBook Air! I never did find a solution to the Intel graphics bug...

I'm a noobie, running both sh3 and 4 on Windows 8 pretty smoothly; no mods as yet since I'm still quite small and weak. Can anyone tell me, are the retail (disc) expansions for sh3 worth getting??

Jimbuna · 08-20-14, 07:02 AM

If you are referring to the U-boat Battle in the Mediterranean then I would say no...it is strongly rumoured that some if not all of the material was gathered from modders who carried out the work for free and did not give permission for it to be sold for on a profit basis.

Thanks for that, Jimbuna: I wouldn't touch it now. The one I was more interested in is titled "Seawolves"... know anything about that?

Overall LSH has been good. I'm on my third patrol. I did SAVE and EXIT one patrol in the middle of a Polish convoy. When I tried to reload there it kept CTDing. But restarting the mission was fine, and since then I've test-saved and reloaded in the middle of missions without a problem (but not in close contact with enemies).

Not sure how it really compares to GWX yet since I haven't encountered any escorts (in 1939 and just completed my third patrol).
