Few days ago i made a clean installation with GWX 3.0 and some mods and noticed even from fall of 1940 i had long loading times ex 20mins. After some patrols and in spring 1941 loading time goes to 35-40mins with the red bar
after so long turns to black and after a while game starts.


Firstly pc specs

Some info

As for ship mods above i've broke them to pieces and added them one by one and mainly its mfm mod
Its the first time that i added "GWX_Enhancements". Before i used mainly
Ribs sh4 effects for Gwx and never loading time was so big.
Also sea folder contains 262 folders


Any ideas how to fix it?

Hi Nik,
I see at least 2 things in your mod list i wouldn’t have.

1) Frozen Harbors by Onealex, is made for his modpack not stock GWX
2) German U-Boat Compilation 2 by Wise, is unfinished mod hence prone to big troubles

Last, my GWX_Enhancements can bring perf hits if your computer is line edge.

Other than that, try to deactivate each mod one to one and see who is the culprit!

We often encounter long loading times with a large number of units. But if you can determine what exactly is affecting you, tell us.

Hi Anvar
Reply to your quest The long loading times. Do you suggest to decrease the number of ships?


cheers

More things added to the game whether its units or mods, the longer the loading time.

I'm just going to put this out there, I had issues with the ntcore 4gb patch. It didn't seem to make any difference at all and my game kept crashing on the load screen despite applying it multiple times.

I ended up downloading a completely different 4gb patch intended for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion of all things and applied that to SH3.exe instead of Oblivion.exe and that completely fixed issues I was having with the loading screen.

I've had no crashes since and am running a similar mod loadout to you.
