Stupid Estonia!!!

Captain_Stabbing · 03-17-07, 10:46 PM

So here I am... 1945. New career.... coming out of Germany. Head East to muck up the Ruskies a bit. I come across a little convoy of Estonian tonnage.... 3 armed tugboats, and 3 cargo ships.
Drooling like a fool, I sink the first, then the second tug.... then it happens...... game crashes.
I curse up a storm, kick the dog, beat the old lady, hav a beer, and re-load from the start of the patrol, figgering I will never see those ships again.
I get out of harbour, see the same 2 German destroyers, same German light ship, then BAM! Radar contact, 3 tuggies, and 3 cargos! I thought it was all random, but voila! There they are! First tuggie DC's me.... even in 19 metres of water, AFTER ramming me at periscope depth, his DC's are WAY off of target, so I sinkify him for his efforts. Then I look out my scope, and much to my enjoyment, the other 2 tuggies have gotten REALLLLLY close to each other, and stopped. 2 torp, BEAUTIFUL shot in the tugs guts, and BAM!!! Game freexes and dumps me back to desktop!

Sadly, this isnt the only theatre where this happens. Everytime I try to sink a ship out of the Black Sea.... BAM! Game freezes, and its back to net porn to kill the afternoon. I have the original GWX after a 1.4 update.

Please, anyone else see these convoys or have the same problem, I would LOVE the help! The dogs almost out of kicks he can take, and the old ladies just shy of a post GWX beating restraining order :P

But about the problem .had it too a while ago i solved the problem by doing a clean install.

If your going to do a total install this might help

Delete any/all SH3 files from C\MyDocuments
Install a clean version of SH3 in C\Program Files\Ubisoft\SH3
Patch it to 1.4b
Copy the folder and paste it to whatever drive you want.
Rename the folder ‘GWX’.
Now install GWX
Now install GWX (v1.0 whatever)
Create a shortcut to the desktop..
Install the SH3Cmd 2.7 plus the SH3Cfg file
If your going to use multiple installs I’d suggest a separate install of SH3Cmdr for each plus an install of MultiSH3.
