The hard drive continues to chatter away like it was trying to complete things but nothing happens. After waiting about 5 minutes I have to reboot the computer. Tried several times without success.
This happens exactly the same while trying to load the museum too. 9/10 load up and hangs at the same point.

I am using Win XP, SP3 P4 2.53 w/1 gb ram, nvidia Geforce 6200 w/512mb ram. Plenty of HD space.
Man I'm dying to play too.......
Thanks for any help and thanks to the GWX team for their work!

I found the same thing with the museum after loading GWX3.0 In fact the first time I tried it I thought my PC had locked. Second time it looked like it was locked again but I got distracted for a few minutes and when I came back it had loaded up OK.

I too have only tried the training missions so far with GWX, so I may find I have the same issues as you when I start my career.

I think the only solution is to wait a bit longer.

Yep, just be patient a little while longer. It's well worth it.

Incidentally, this is the ideal time to get a cup of coffee, a beer(*), something to eat,... oh, and to 'go' before you leave port. Can't abide them sub toilets. Damn Tommies always choose that moment to dive bomb my boat...

(*) UFoD (useless fact of the day): in moderation though... Internation Maritime Organisation has just tightened alcohol limit at sea from 0,8 to 0,2 promille.

Well guys, looks like I'm on shore leave for a while. Instead of checking for the sage advice above first I rebooted one time to many and crashed my hard drive. Now when I start up I get the blue screen of death and the message 'unmountable_boot_volume'. This after waiting over 10 minutes for the mission to load.
Looks like I hosed my HD or something something so I'm using my wife's PC to post this.
Patience is a virtue and my lesson has been learned. To all who read this don't do what I did!
See you when I get things repaired!

I would like to do this as well... where do we place "UMark.tga" ?
(What pathway?)

Possibly the most appropriate error message under the circumstances

Hope you get it sorted soon, dude!

Success!! A little research and all I needed to do to get things back in order was to dig out my old XP disk and run the Repair console using chkdsk /r to repair my XP files.
I then fired up SHIII GWX 3 Gold but this time let it load on its own. After a while it worked! Patience is a virtue and I guess to succeed at this game you have to have a lot of it. It does take a while to load and I didn't realize just how long.
Anyway, thanks to all for your help.
Shore leave cancelled!

Hey guys. How do you start to download that GWX 3 torrent? I usually download them all with Opera but it doesn't work here. So I downloaded BitTorrent client and tried adding the filefront URL and then the download torrent.html file to it, but it didn't work. Any hints? Thanks.

Btw, great work GWX team. (I'm also eagerly waiting for GWX4!)

Simply click on my GWX3.0 FF page and use a torrent client.....I use uTorrent personally
