Tried already an installation with this file?

Thanks.

I'm not a GWX guy but you're right - both files are identical [same checksum value]...

Not just my install then. Thanks for checking.

Kinda sorta off topic but GWX 3 related.

I want to save GWX 3 to a CD to prevent having to download it (again) if computer crashes (again).
How do I save 1.3 Gig of info onto a 700 mb disk?

On many.

Well you can't fit more onto a CD than it's made for can you? Go get some DVDs you [Unappropiate personal remark removed. Hitman - moderator]

Been away for awhile. Hard disc failure meant I lost my original GWX & havn't had chance to re instal it. Just put GWX3 on with commander. All I can say is fantastic. My Pc is pretty old. But the graphics in this look cutting edge! Love the waves. The lighting is just right & the ship models are beautiful. More like watching the cruel sea in colour! Thanks for your hard work! Some very clever programing. Off on patrol now. If I can remember how.....

You can "RAR" it with WinRAR and split the archive into two parts with 650mb. (I think WinZIP and 7zip can do this too.) This way you need only 2 CD's.

You will need a fresh install of SHIII patched to 1.4

Download all 7 bin files and the exe and place into 1 folder
Run the exe and point it to your fresh install
Done

I downloaded the files right from subsim server thingy...the one where it asks for a donation. My problem is that now with the files downloaded where do I put them, the readme just keeps sending me back to the "Thanks for your Support" page where the files are listed.

I simply downloaded the files which went to my downloads folder and ran the exe...it goes through the initial process and while its installing I get an "Error" stating:

"C:\ProgramFiles\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\sea\ NBC_GraffSpee.dat

An error occurred while trying to copy a file:

The source file is corrupted.

Click Retry to try again, Ignore to skip this file(not recommended), or Abort to cancel installation"

The only thing that is a variable is because years ago I bought SH3 on direct2drive and tried on my older laptop...didnt work so it waited...got a newer laptop now and originally it didnt work either because of some stupid activation code with d2d. My friend was able to use it so I didnt think anything of it...He comes back later with a dvd copy of my legally downloaded copy and i instal on my computer...guess what, SH3 worked....little slow around port but it ran well. Now I got this same error while trying to mod the copy...I figured ok, guess I should just go buy a disk copy of SH3....thats what I did....fresh new copy...but I saved the old game files from the old because well I really dont want to have to redo all those darn patrols again.

If I can solve the installation problem by reinstalling without the saved game files I am fine with that....little bit of crying maybe but i'll get over it.

Any ideas?

Try downloading from a different source....you could try mine from the links below my sig.

Good luck

Check sum value from the bts site also didn't match for me.

The checksum result for me is ee96ed51e0082bd920e27e416c0aff30

The size in bytes matches with yours as well.

Which is the same as what you get.

kool, what is recommended for installation? Where do I put the exe and bin files? I am currently reinstalling my disk copy of SH3 which does say version 1.4 so I am pretty sure its just some kind of mix up.

Is it fine to run the exe from the downloads folder or should I throw everything into a folder in like the sh3 data folder or something.

I have played GW mod years ago and loved it so I just want to get it on here to enjoy.

Thanks,

It does not matter where you place the files
as long as they are all in the same folder.

I use a folder called downloads.
Don't ask me why.
:rotfl:
And run it from there.

Hello,

I'am fairly new to this forum and to the game also! I downloaded GWX3.0 and so for i like it, but i a have a problem, well i think its a problem.

When on patrol and night falls it's all black! I mean really black, i don't see a thing not even stars or the moon. I can't stalk ships or do nothing because i can't even identify the ship nor see it even when i'm right beside it. In fact i can't even see the crew on bridge.

Is this normal or it's a graphic problem coming from my computer?

Thank you very much for the response.
