Heh... you and me both.

My habits aren't as daft as they once were, but I'm feeling the minutes being compressed as the years roll in.

Funny you say that, because I seem to get the opposite and find that whenever I'm in Scotland the days feel like weeks

Playing the GWX expansion SH III will give you a glance at what SH IV could look like in about 22 months time (if the modders here want to do their magic again)...it is a diamond out of the rough.

Let's hope so!

WOW GWX looks pretty damn awesome......

I am downloading all of the files right now.

Does the explosions from GWX look just as good compared with SH4?

I can see a lot of detail went into GWX. I hope that these modders apply their skill and expertise to SH4.

I'm sure it's a conditioning thing...

The longer you spend here, the less bleak and uninviting the place seems. Maybe.

You're obviously a native, given your username, so don't rub my nose in it by bragging about your new exotic location, thanks.

New, oh no? I've spent most of the last 15 odd years out in the Gulf

Born an expat, raised an expat. Spent more time outside Scotland than in it, and unsurprisingly I have an aversion to dark skies, wind and rain.

I woudn't say that. I saw the planes exploded in SH4 and they are very good. But for me, the overalll image quality is better in SH3 ..

GWX is THE mod for SH3. The guys have made a tremendous work on it. I enjoy it like a child in front of christmas tree

I hope SH4 will become as good as GWX with patch and mods. The Atlantic and the Pacific -->

Try it, have fun

Buy more RAM mate :rotfl:

Seriously, SH3 load times were/are atrocious.

John Channing · 03-26-07, 05:20 PM

OK I just upgraded to 2 Gb of RAM.

4 Seconds to load Sh3 w/GWX! Thanks for the advise!

Hey, Oleg, long time no see. What are you doin' here? Slumming?

I've never tried GWX, does it have any problem with save game stability? That's why I stopped playing SH3 - whenever I saved in the thick of a battle, really with any ships on the radar after a suffiently long campaign patrol, it was guaranteed that I wouldn't be able to load from that game. I kept SO many saves just to ensure I wouldn't have to go back too far, but it got ridiculous with the instability. I would be neck deep in a nasty situation that would take a few tries to get out of, and found myself replaying HOURS of work that I had already successfully done just to get home.

SHIII + GWX is hitting a real sweet-spot right now. Kinda like WinXP... it may be a bloated old cow, but with today's hardware it runs like a dream.

Doesn't really answer my question but thanks. I'd really like to know if anyone experiences incessant crashes loading games.

I wasn't answering your question.
