GWX (Grey Wolves eXpansion Mod)

[thehiredgun]

I would Recommend that whatever you download put it on a disc for later use should the need arise. I used a DVD as it will hold more.The first time i & several others downloaded all of GWX 2.1 ,it was full of errors,did it again & all was perfect

You must install The Grey Wolves Expansion (GWX) over a CLEAN, UNMODIFIED installation of Silent Hunter III patched to Version 1.4b since the installer will only install GWX into your Silent Hunter III installation folder. The following instructions may apply to you depending on how you have modified Silent Hunter III:


1. REMOVE any installed SH3 Commander files (if you use SH3 Commander) by pressing the "Rollback SH3" button from within SH3 Commander;

2. You can use JSGME to activate other modifications after you install GWX, but not GWX itself;

3. GWX is a full/general release that completely supersedes all previous versions of “The Grey Wolves” and GWX.

a. Uninstall Silent Hunter III via the MS-Windows “Add/Remove programs” feature

b. Open Windows Explorer and:

i. *delete* the folder from where Silent Hunter III was just removed

ii. *delete* the “\My Documents\SH3” folder. GWX V2.0 is incompatible with non-GWX save games and is likely incompatible with games saved under previous GWX versions.

c. Reinstall Silent Hunter III;
d. Install patch V1.4b if your version of Silent Hunter III was an earlier version, ensuring the patch version corresponds to your source media: Download, DVD, EMEA, or US);
e. Visit the GWX homepage (

http://gwx.mysite.orange.co.uk) and download all the primary files listed there. Send them all onto your desktop or onto a folder of your own choosing, but please ensure they are all loaded INTO THE SAME FOLDER;

f. Run GWX.exe and follow the installation prompts.

No matter, as long as you still have the files stored on your hard drive, just follow the above instructions.

As I'm a GWX 2.1 ONLY player I am asking here.

How can I get rid of the pencil with the different water color depths ?

I just want the plain pencil in both ? settings.

Imo the colored one isn't accurate where it puts the X.

Thx for any help.

Hey guys,

I got a serious problem.
My home base is St. Nazaire and it's 1941, but I cant "buy" the VIIC. It isnt available
I read the manual and it says, that is would be available from April 1940 on.
Any ideas?

for some reason, i can't get back into an already started mission that i saved. i will try loading it up and when it finally is finished it CTD! why?

[KeptinCranky]

Klinsmann, did you save in any of the following situations:

submerged
near (50km) active traffic
near (50km) a port
in heavy weather
near a ship you just sunk
while being under attack
?

any of those may cause a CTD on loading, especially saving submerged

if not any of the above then please describe the situation, perhaps there's a way to fix a specific problem

Firewall, seen your post, don't know a solution though...

Is it save from before GWx added ?
If so wont work
Start new career for GWX 2.1

Is there a way to "unzoom" the command room view, like it was in the vanilla?

Here are some screenshots, in case you don't understand what I'm talking about
They are both from Type VII. The top image is from vanilla, the bottom one from GWX
