SH3 Crashes to desktop on mission load

Doolar · 12-14-21, 10:13 AM

Because I had made several Modding mistakes of my own the "volumetric clouds & fog v2 mod" + something else was crashing my game. All has been fixed. If you're using GWX3, the "volumetric clouds & fog v2 mod" should be fine. I used it several years when I used GWX3, with no issues. It adds a whole new dimension to the environment. Not sure here, but I believe that the "volumetric clouds & fog v2 mod" should be added last or as close to last as you can.

Hi Flag4 you could try the SH3 Download link i sent you unpack with 7zip then place it on drive C:/ but outside Program files x86 then all should work fine so you no longer need the steam version.
The SH3 ive sent you is the same one i sent Doolar but the one i sent him was a dvd a while back.
also its already patched to 1.4 The Mod Guru's have been looking after Onkel Neal's Navy for years its a calling a Line Chiefs job is to get the fleet at sea happy hunting

sorry forgot you will also need the commander mod config file download link below
just place it in your main SH3 game folder with all the GWX bin files are then just activate the commander config
and your good to go

hi blackswan.

so, so far its all screwed up again. the steam version crashed again this morning. so ive wiped everything off the laptop. im trying to install your SH3 download in either PF or PR(x86) in a new folder and it tells there are errors.
the new folder i created is SH3. then ive tried to install your SH3 into my SH3 file. doesnt seem to want it. now im stuck. am i doing anything wrong?
cheers flag4.

Ahoy, Doolar...

Thanks for the clarification.

When I saw what you'd said of having problems then the CTD... I took that to mean that the mod was... basically virgin, & hadn't been tweaked or edited...

Main point was, that I remembered seeing it & the issues was why I told mungo, to avoid using it... to eliminate any possible issues.

Again, thanks for clarifying that.
