Have you had a prior install of SH3 at all? If so, you have to assure that everything has been removed. Have you made copies of the installation? I've noticed that if I installed SH3 then copied the entire directory over to a second one that GWX would give me the mod already installed errors for the copied directories but would work fine on the original-install directory. Hope this helps. |

Did you by any chance purchase the game through 'Steam' ? If you did, then this thread may help you ........ http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...+%26amp%3B+gwx |

If you click on my sig you will be taken to the GWX official website where there are installation instructions.

With SHIII there a lot of hiddenn files. If you have played one game of SHIII THERE COULD BE HIDDEN FILES YOU CAN'T FIND. ALL THESE FILES MUST BE DELETED PRIOR TO relloading SHIII. I Use a application delet program.
Also in your documents folder is a file called SHIII which you must also delete. Hope this helps.

Hey not trying to thread jump. I am trying to get SH3 to work with GW3. When I am trying to install GW3 I get errors for all kinds of sound files. Starts about half way thru install.
Not a steam version, DL off the internet from a site. Its a legal copy too lol. Not sure what I am doing wrong. |

My internet is down but I think it was amazon or gamefly download. It install to ver1.4.01 and works good. I can install SH3 Commander and that works great.
I got the GWX from there site which links you to gamefront or mediafire I think, dang lack of internet. Let me just say when looking for install info I seem to think they conflict. GWX says to do it on a fresh copy install of SH3 before commander is installed on the splash screen. The notes for commander say to do it after commander is installed. That being said I have ten files for GWX bins 1 to 7 the exe, torrent.torrent, and fullsingleinstall.exe.1.torrent I also have the 1.2 sh3commander install. Used this when I loaded commander 1st and then ran before installing GXW I get a error saying data\sound\gramaphone\21.ogg and every file after has a message The soruce file is corrupted. So maybe I need to redownload the game will try running repair. I no longer here the bells when setting speed but thought I used to So I will re dl the gwx from the sig and mediafire and see what happens Thanks been trying to get this to work for 2 days now. Guess I'm not software friendly lol. Thanks for the welcome aboard |

Edit: Error data\sound\gramaphone\21.ogg is a bad 5 bin file. I have searched google in so many ways and I found a post at another site, ubi in fact. So I used the media fire link provided by fubar and replaced the 5 bin. And it seems to work. Thanks again for all the help, now I will get at it and see how many tons I can sink!
Thanks again Last edited by Shellservice; 10-31-12 at 11:08 PM. |
