Problems with GWX 3.0 Gold - post here to list known and unknown problems

By saying this I don't say that you shouldn't use these mods. I'm just saying that you have to be prepared to face potential problems. So far though I've used a few non-approved GWX mods without any real problems.

You mean stay away from files that alter things like,settings,sensors,AI,etc etc?,the things that make the game actually work?.Dont worry,I have no intentions of doing that,I am perfectly happy with what the GWX team have done,and I would be terrified of corrupting the game in the first place
Thanks.

Down near the bottom of the page. You need need to install 3.1 and 3.2 on top of v3.0. The read me mentions it as well as Thomsen's thread in the Mods section.

sharkbit,
I just tried the 3.1 link,and the download stopped seconds later,the download is corrupt sadly.I tried it twice,no luck

Try his FileFront. That is where I got it from.

That was my intention,to create a thread for us to be aware of any known or unknown conflicts ect.
I see now,that mods not designed exclusively for GWX may encounter problems,I didnt consider this,thanks for warning me.I will say though that the mod I use to black out the scope perimeter works fine,and that is not GWX supported I dont think.
Thanks.

I agree with melnibonian, why don't you come up with a more accurate title, post it here and I will edit the Thread Title.

Sound like a plan.

Thanks Kevin

Paul....there is a GWX thread already created for the purpose of discussing issues encountered by users of the GWX mod.

I know full well your intentions are above board but threads similar to this have created much angst in the past on SS.

In the absence of Kpt. Lehmann allow me to reiterate that the Grey Wolves do not encourage nor endorse the use of third party mods being added to GWX.

It is well known that some will work and others will break the parent mod.

Anyone using GWX will be given all the technical support available by the team both here and on our website.

However, it is regrettable to say that we are unable to offer any support toward problems encountered whilst using third party mods....users must use them at their own risk.

Sorry about all this
Its just because I am new to the GWX scene and have obviously missed important news and announcements about such things.There is a mountain of info and finding the info for you can be a challenge at times.

I am removing the scope mod I have,I dont want to screw my installation.From now on,its just GWX endorsed mods.

[Paul Riley]

Reallydedpoet,

Why dont you come up with an idea for the title,as you know roughly what I am after here.But as there is other threads about this then it may even be better to remove it

[Paul Riley]

You know what I am trying to do dont you,and its foolish.I am trying to run before I can walk,trying to take as much in as possible in the shortest amount of time (with GWX)
Experience can only come with patience and dilligence,not reckless haste.

Hope that sums me up a bit better

[Paul Riley]

Yep,lets remove this thread,I will go to the official GWX support pages from now on.

[Jimbuna]

Hey Paul, your fine ....really.

I've posted a picture of 30 or so mods I'm currently using in a testing installation over on one of your other threads.

On a much lighter note....Woah!! Connect Four

[ReallyDedPoet]

Don't worry about it Paul, I know you had know ill intentions
regarding the thread title

Also, nothing wrong about being excited about playing this great game

Anyway, I'll close this one as per your request.
