You guys are killing me

Vielen danke!

Heading to the GWX d/l depot as we speak.

Thanks again, guys. Appreciate the feedback.

I knew I was in trouble RAM wise when I started playing BF2, so that's really no surprise there. [sigh] Out-of-the-box, SHIII was pretty swell; GWX looks like I'll finally be getting out of training and into the war.

Try installing the game from these instructions and in particular SH3 Cmdr will work properly/as it was meant to

1. Uninstall SH3 via Windows' "Add/Remove programs"
2. Open Windows Explorer and:
- *delete* the folder where you had installed SH3
- *delete* the \My Documents\SH3 folder
3. Reinstall SH3
4. If your SH3 did not come with patch v1.4b already included, install patch v1.4b. Ensure you install the patch that corresponds to your copy of SH3 (Download/DVD/EMEA/US)
5. OPTIONAL: Copy and paste this "clean" install as a backup to avoid the need to follow steps 1-3 if your game becomes corrupt in future
6. Visit the GWX homepage and download into the SAME folder GWX.exe and the five .bin files. While there grab the v1.03 patch
7. Run GWX.exe and follow the installation prompts
8. Run GWX103.exe and follow the installation prompts
9. SH3 COMMANDER USERS: Visit the GWX homepage and download the GWX 1.02+ Cfg files for SH3 Commander and unzip the contents DIRECTLY into your SH3 Commander\Cfg folder.

Don't skip this! There will be a moment that you're glad you did it...

I'm running GWX on 1.4ghz 1gb ram and 256mb graphics (somehwat overclocked) apart from load times and some stutter in home port no problems no crashes.

oh and no TC above 512

I say Go for it!

I just downloaded GWX. It says I need to put it on a clean patched install. The only mods I have installed on my SH3 are a draggable nomo and pato's bearing overlay tool. Do you think I really need to get rid of these first?

By all means, joegrundman... by all means

No problems! it's best to have the right instructions.
Growler, follow these, mine were just off the top of the ol' noggin, and not accurate.
Enjoy the good times ahead!

Try playing it on a Pentium 3 933Mhz 512MB ram, 256MB Video Card.....Takes forever to load and gets quite choopy at times.......but still happily play it

.

Using GWX

Plus this is my first post, since I have been a lurker for a long time hehe....

Welcome to Subsim Evil Genius. Here is your potato peeler. Fritz is waiting for you in the galley... and since it is Tuesday... IT IS ONION DAY!!! Aren't you lucky!

May your stay be a long one. (At Subsim... not the galley.)

I really hate it when things get choopy too.

Growler · 06-12-07, 11:10 PM

I'm just glad my onion-chooping and potato-peeling days are behind me now.

No, it looks like I'm a loader now.

I've never lifted an 88 shell before, or a 105 for that matter, but I don't imagine it could be much harder than holding up the 55lb practice slugs aboard Taney.

Evil Genius · 06-12-07, 11:33 PM

Thanks Kpt. Lehmann
Oh boy onions!!! I love how they make me cry..

Just hope that the tears dont drop onto the new computer I am building which is a AMD 64 X2 6000+ 3Ghz, Geforce 7900 256MB SLI, 2GB DDR2 Ram, computer

And of course SH3+GWX will be the first thing that goes on after the PC is set up.Mawhahah

And choopy would probably be more accurate, kind of like trying to chop meat up but having to saw the bones that are to thick. Anyway I would rather have to peel potatoes or chop onions than go back

Growler · 06-12-07, 05:58 PM

Great words of advice, all, I thank ye again!

Cleaning up this PC before I do the installs necessary; diskkeeper, etc. Then, to sea!
