I guess you're still on stock
well I have bad news

your current carreer will not work when you install GWX you have to start a new one.

if you do not like that, the only option for you is to make a dual install

now to save your career m8 , you have to sacrifice some disk space.

go to programfiles>ubisoft
rename the folder silenthunterIII into something else for example STOCK SH3

then insert the CD of SH3 and click launch the setup
now its going to ask you a question click ''repair''
(because you renamed the silenthunterIII folder into something else the setup thinks you miss all the files so he will create a total new installation of SH3 right next to it.)

patch the new installation to 1.4b and install GWX over it

now you have 2 installations
but! both will share the same save files so BE very carefull in choosing them when you load a save.


remember which captains name belongs to the right installation while you are going to continue your career

good luck

I'd advise you 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.

guess i'd start from scratch!.. so here's wat i did..

1. install a fresh copy of stock SH3.
2. Update it to 1.4b
3. install gwx
4. install gwx 1.03 patch
5. install jsgme
6. install sh3 commander.

anything else that i should be worried about!..

Well...you should have deleted the SH3 program folder & the SH3 folder in 'My Documents'. But you might be ok. You also need the SH3Cmdr Config files for GWX, click on my sig and you will find them.

For next time, be advised that JSGME is installed when you install GWX. Look in the SH3 Program folder.
