Everyone who experiences CTD I recommend not to activate WAC campaign. There seems to problems with a unit or campaign files.

For the record, in case people missed it:

What does it mean for the WAC5.0 user?

1. The WAC campaigns are split up into two campaigns: WAC5.0 Campaign_Atlantic_Baltic+WAC5.0 Campaign_Mediterranean (only one campaign can be used at a time)
2. It is possible with WAC5.0 to use the new full interior mod (WAC5.0 Full_Interior) of the u-boats, but NOT together with a widescreen mod (WAC5.0 Ahnenerbe Wide GUI or WAC5.0 Manos Wide GUI)
3. Additional modifications (ships, airplanes, harbours, etc.) CAN cause a CTD with WAC5.0, if the RAM usage is beyond the maximum

source: WAC5.0_Installation.pdf, p.2 (quote slightly altered by me)

Although just Wac 5.0 alone,comes Ctd.
Single missions and campaigns.

I am sorry to report that SH3 with WAC 5.0 is unusable to me. I'm on Windows 10, with a steam version that I've multi-installed using SFSF.

The first time the game initiated a reboot of my computer when I tried loading into a career. The second time I managed to get into the game but the game remained paused and only the GUI was visible but no interior or exterior view.

First, make sure you have clean, unmodded version 1.4 of SH3.
To ensure that, uninstall current version, and manually delete SH3 folder and SH3 folder in MyDocuments.

-Install clean version

-apply 4GB patch

-install JSGME for SH3. MODS folder in main SH3 directory will appear

-UNZIP first of WAC archives into MODS folder. Check if WAC folder within mods folder has the proper size and amount of folders and files, according to WAC install manual pdf.

-activate with JSGME

unzip other mods to MODS folder and activate via JSGME as needed.

Which step did you ommit?

I tried installing it with the H.Sie fixes (enabling 4Gb options, and disabling someones like the periscope fix), instead using 4Gb patch. My game crashes a lot. How do you use the H.Sie fixes?

If your pc reboots when you start a game, it can be an indication that your power supply is either too weak, old, or damaged.

It is important that you guys with problems post your:

• PC SPECS (like graphics card + CPU + RAM + OS)

• Your JSGME mod list

1. Look inside "H.sie_V16B1-Patch-Kit" folder for "Patch_SH3.bat".
2. Put "sh3.exe" (from game folder) into "H.sie_V16B1-Patch-Kit" folder.
3. Activate "Patch_SH3.bat". (A black window opens, keep pressing space bar).
4. Activate "HsieOptionsSelector.exe" (inside "H.sie_V16B1-Patch-Kit" folder).
5. Choose the options you like and click "OK" (bottom left).



6. Put "sh3.exe" back into SH3 game folder.
7. Activate the mods you like:

I doubt my hardware is the problem.

I use Windows 10, 64 Bit and I only had WAC 5.0 activated in JSGME

nope, this is an excellent rig! However, when your computer suddenly shuts down once you load game or a progam that stresses your system, it is usually an indication for faulty hardware or a driver related issue:

Some years ago, I had a faulty gtx 470, for example, that kept rebooting my computer whenever I tried to play any games.. After I bought a new card everything worked as intended..

If other games work on your system without your PC suddenly rebooting, I sadly have no idea what your problem is..

Maybe try to google the error code?:

ValoWay, thanks for your detailed reply. I already did know how to install H.Sie with other super mods or vanilla, but my question was about which order I should use, or if I could use it with mediterranean or no campaign.

Anyway you answer it all, thank you, except if I can use it with no campaign mod - using them are too slow to load, and I don't want to live again the slow load time I had with my old Spectrum

HanSolo recommends to NOT use campaign mod when you encounter CTDs! So no problem skipping the campaign mod but play anyway! For the 'WAC5.0 Campaign_Mediterranean' mod you have to write your own 'WAC5.0 H.sie Supplement to V16B1_Mediterranean_Campaign' mod if you wanna use 'WAC5.0 Campaign_Mediterranean' with H.Sie's fixes, just like for GWX3 et cetera.
