Dumb question: What does 'rolling back' mean and why is it important/necessary? I use SH3 Commander but haven't been doing it.

It undoes all the changes SH3 Commander has made to the game.

Thanks Boris but I still don't understand why it's important/necessary to do it.

When you roll back you remove the SH3commander files
Leaving your install as it was before

Now if you add a mod - you are adding it to your SH3 install not the SH3commander files

Rollback = no problems

Thanks BBW. If I am not planning to add any mods then it seems no harm is done if I don't roll back at all?

Applies to any changes you make to cfg files as well as installing mods

If your not planning to do ANYTHING to your install then no you dont need to rollback

No "RTFM Banner" included with this version

It's always important to review the readme file which includes this statement:

ALWAYS perform a rollback in SH3 Commander BEFORE:
- enabling or disabling any mods, either via JSGME or manually;
- uninstalling or reinstalling Silent Hunter III;
- uninstalling SH3 Commander.

Once again Jaesen-OUTSTANDING WORK!
Great idea for making SAB-MAL mod switchable-never thought of that myself.

The time and effort you've spent on this...well, The word "Thanks" really is inadequate but for lack of a better one .

Thank You, your work is truly appreciated.

Jaesen thanks a lot for a fantastic program that makes the SH3 experience complete

It works fine and I love it. I cannot play SH without it. By the way just to be sure are the updated GWX Cfg files you're talking about the ones we (the Beta Testers) have already downloaded from the GWX forum?? (I'm almost sure that's the case but I thought of asking just to be 110% sure)

Yes, well kinda. I have updated one or two of the files, so pls re d/l and unzip into the Cfg folder. Then apply the "Beta patch" file, exactly as before. Of course, this latter file will not be needed once GWX is released proper.

That's correct. If you have a "settled" installation that you are happy with and don't intend to change, then the need to rollback is not important.

But you just need to be disciplined and remember to rollback first if you ever do plan on adding/removing mods (ie the latest and greatest "must have"), installing/uninstalling SH3 or installing/uninstalling SH3Cmdr.

The links to download aren't working, FYI.

Yeah I moved the file and only told Pablo. Give me five or so minutes - just replying to Boris' q atm.
