SH III / GWX 3.0 ? Creator update

Darojax · 07-16-17, 05:12 PM

I had to struggle quite a bit to find out how to get my Silent Hunter III with GWX 3.0 (and Sh3Commander) on Windows 10 64-bit up and running. In the end it came down to 2 very simple things:

1. SH3 needs to be run in compability mode for Windows XP (other compatibility modes might work as well).

2. Also I had to make sure that the in the Documents/SH3/data/cfg/main.cfg file (edit with text editor) "Synchronized=Yes" is the option, or I would just get a black screen when trying to start the game.

That was it, runs perfect with Ahnenerbe WideGui 1920 x 1080 and a bunch of different mods and everything. Hope this helps.

I just reistalled everything 2 days ago and apart from the bypass for the security via original disk issue I just had to change it to compatible with XP and no issues. Running GWX, mods via JSGME and of course Commander and some other mods.
