GWX3 Gold install help
Hello I'm new to silent hunter III and have been trying to install the GWX gold for about a week now I've deleted the game and reinstalled 4-5 times now trying to get it working, but every time I try to install the expansion it tells me there are mods installed. I don't have any idea what could be wrong, if anyone has any idea what might be wrong any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you arbter5 |

arbter5,
If it is a fresh install, that leaves 2 questions that come to mind: 1: Is it downloaded through Steam? 2: If NOT, then have you patched to version 1.4b? The GWX thread: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=102096 Quote:

I did a quick search, and I didn't see any thing to suggest (it was a VERY quick search) that GWX 3 won't work with the Steam version.
However I did find this thread, post #4 has a video on installing GWX on the Steam version of SH3. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ight=gwx+steam I didn't watch it, as I just arrived at my pc... Hopefully it will show what you need... Only other thing I can think of, did you install Steam in C:\Program Files\Steam ? Vista and up will interfere with modifications to the files... If the video doesn't help, and you did install to C:\Program Files\Steam, there is a way to install SH3 to another location without re-installing steam... Barracuda |

Hey Yall!
So I am trying to download GWX for the first time in years. Have the files been removed? I go to the downloads section on the GW website, when I click on the Download button it takes me to a file front page that has nothing with SH3 on it :/. Neither link works |

I just downloaded it off the Greywolves site a few minutes ago (http://thegreywolves.com/downloads/), you have to download the .exe and the 7 bin files individually though, the download gwx3 button links don't work. I moved all 8 files into my SH3 folder and ran the exe file, everything installed perfectly. |
