Hey, if ya wanna join their chorus of the shoulda, woulda coulda blues... far be it from Me, to dissuade you from that.

Pray tell, continue to your hearts content...

As for waiting for the game/sim to load, knowing that I have seen mentions of up to 12 minutes... by some.. also located within the reams of posts across the spectrum of the SH3 threads section here...

I can't tell you to wait... or not to wait... that, is all up to you. All I can do, is to inform you... that it has been mentioned by other SH3 players... of having long wait times... & considering that SH3.. is now.. what... coming up on... 17 years, to the date (March 15th, 2005)

then add in heavy modifying it... all adds up to the likelihood, of it taking longer, before it boots up...

And all this, is NOT even touching any nudging, modifying... etc, of settings that may or may NOT have to be done, on all the different computers, to get it to work... at all.

Or, the new things, coming down the pipe as it pertains to computers, themselves...

As grand as SH3 is... there is going to come a time... when that time comes, unfortunately & sadly, it will join other games/sims in the annals of history of what was... before.

I seriously hope that time, is ways off... but, I do know, that it will come... eventually.

Until then...

Gute jagd, ihr Himmelhunde.!



M. M,

I have been playing SH3 in all of it's guises for 17 years, I have logged thousands of hours playing it. In all of those hours I have never had an issue with it multitasking. And yes when I started having issues with GWR I went back to basics and just let it do its thing but even without MT it just locked the computer requiring a hard boot.

So rather than being all supercilious and condescending perhaps either actually try to be helpful or change the writing style or just butt out.

In any case, if I play, I do not get distracted.
I have Game Booster installed and configured for these purposes.

No two computers are alike, and I only have one of four that shell-out to windows without too much grief. Generally though, the troubles with the other three are just graphic or audio issues in the game itself. When the game is trying to load though, it does indeed take all available resources of your system, since it knows no better. Your problem does not sound like that though. Firstly, you supplied minimal detail of your situation with the game or the computer. It's not until in the fourth post that you state you are a long-time player. But still nothing about what you did for the SH3 install or mod activation. Folks have to assume the basics when there is no information to go by for accurate help.

My questions (again, basic) would be have you activated the 4Gig Patch (if necessary) on the SH3.exe? Did you empty the Save folder, or use MultiSH3 to create a new Save folder? If you have done those, then I am out of ideas, unless you would happen to post your mod list, if it is more than just GWR2020.

I have tried GWR several times over the years and I have NEVER been able to get it to work. And right now I have Onealex, WAC and LSH running fine on my computer. So I am at a complete loss as to why Anvar's mod works for some and not for others. It's strange though.
