GWX Installation Questions

AZTiger98 · 02-02-15, 01:34 AM

I am reinstalling SH3 and planning to try out the GWX 3.0 mod. A couple of questions, though:

First, where do I install the GWX 3.0 mod to? I have the game loaded through Steam - does the mod get installed to the game's steamapps directory?

Second, although it's probably fairly easy to just uninstall everything and redownload and reinstall stock SH3 from Steam if I decide I want to try something different, what's the easiest way to uninstall the GWX 3.0 mod and return to the stock installation??

You are much better off making two installations, one stock and one GWX.

GWX is not a mod, and does not go in JSGME.

You can put it anywhere outside of your SH3.

You might also take a look at SH3 Commander that is highly recommended as another add on tool.

Also the mod Ahnenerbe WideGui 1920 x 1080 Final if you use that resolution.

You need to guide the GWX 3.0 installer to the folder that contains the SH3.exe

Got problems with the SH3 + GWX install.

First I installed SH3 and JSGME, then GWX. I think not every part of GWX couldn't get activated. Good thing I was on my third patrol, because I found this post and uninstalled everything (SH3, GWX, JSGME, SH3 Commander). Installed SH3 (@ C:/Ubisoft/... not Program Files), then GWX.

Right now I was able to start a new career once but the game crashed after 10 minutes. The other times it just crashes while loading.

Any ideas?
