Good to know, and I will test it, if your release is done.

Onkel Neal..

1st off, welcome back to SH3 Kaleun status.

Call me biased, but.. am with most of the rest... Fifi's revamp of NYGM,

but.. this is not to disparage OneAlex's GWX Rework, either.. if you're more preferable to GWX.

Both of them are quite good, each.. in their own right.

Your call, when all is said & done, at the end of the day.

Which, is what's important..

Hope that helps..

as always.

Wow, nice feedback! I really appreciate that, I feel like a newbie! Well, I guess I kinda am a newbie, so your direction is gold.

So, I want to load GWX 3 and play a few missions with that, then I want to switch to fifi's NYGM as suggested and play a career.

I have Steam SH3 running fine on my programs86 directory, so I will attempt to install GWX 3 on that version.

Sadly, before I broke the SH3 on my D: drive, it was running GWX, just in a small window.

After that, definitely fifi all the way.

Onkel Neal! I returned to SH3 with NYGM FiFi version and it is a must have.

Immersion secured.

I have my old DVD SH3, working very fine on W11, with W7 compatibility.

The game is a legend.

Good hunt!

Many on the forum say:
That you have SH3 installed in C:\Program files ... or C:\Program files (x86) ... which is NOT where you want to have it installed.... EVER.

Installing your SH3 here... is asking for loads of trouble, as Windows, will NOT allow for changes to be made to anything installed in those areas... EVEN if you tell it that such changes CAN be done.

Onkel Neal · 11-03-22, 09:29 PM

Yes, Todd told me the same.

You know how you hate to mess with something after you finally got it to work? I wanted to install a second copy of SH3 on my D: drive, but I could not find a way to do it. I tried moving my installation from C:program86... and it moved it, alright, it's no longer on my C: at all.

And of course, the program wouldn't run again. Gave me a chance to try out my Steam fix and it worked, now I have it running on D: not in Programs86

So, it shows the version as 1.4, that's the latest version right? Ready to install GWX 3?
