GWX2.0, 3 problems (graphics & sound)

Abd_von_Mumit · 01-07-08, 03:01 AM

Thanks Reece. I tried your files, but after install the game refused to load (CTD just before "Not so long ago"). Restoring previous config made the game run as before.

I'm really confused as the grey square makes manual plotting almost impossible. Bearing overlay would be useful, but I can live without it and I think I'll use Mikhayls advice and edit the config files. :/

Maybe it's my video card unable to process TGA's transparency?

Gee that's nuts, only a tga file, you did download the "Nav_Map_Bearing_Tool_v2_1.rar" file, you have to read the doc file first as the folders are blank, so by itself would do nothing!!

If this is a new installation, did you have a 100% clean install and did you check your downloaded files with the MD5 mate?

Reece: Yes, I've read the readme

, but I was too lazy to create the files for each type of sub, so instead I chose just to create the one I need, i.e. VIIB type. After renaming the file and putting it to it's directory i installed the 'patch' via JSGME (after rolling back SH3Commander). I suppose I did it proper way. :/

danlisa: As clean as possible, completely new system install, game install (without patching as it comes with 1.4b patch from the box) and GWX install. I also checked the MD5 sums with JSMD5Mate before launching exe (files downloaded via GWX site). Installation went flawlessly.

My guesses are:
– too little RAM (quite strange),
– problems with TGA transparency (i.e. my card's unable to deal with TGA properly).
I don't have any more ideas.

As my game likes to CTD even without any reason (due to lack of RAM, I suppose), I'll give Reece's files one more try, this time creating BO for all the possible sub types.

I'd appreciate any new tips.

Thank you guys for help – this Forum would be nothing without the feel of being part of a real community.

EDIT:
Reece's files work now, after creating a file for each sub type and installing it via SH3 Commander. BIG thank you, Reece. Oberleutnant z. S. Herbert Mann will write your name on the first torpedo he launches on his next (third) patrol.
