SH3 and Grey Wolves mod problem

Phoenix3000 · 11-07-06, 08:57 AM

Hello all,

This is my first post here, so bear with me......

I have recently installed SH3 and have to say it's one of the most satisfying simulation\strategy titles out there. I originally purchased it when it was first released - I was so keen to own it I bought it direct from UBI with the recognition manual that came as a booklet! However, back then my system wasn't powerful enough to run it and so it sat gathering dust. Until 3 weeks ago when I installed it on my new powerful system.

I tried varioations of the install, but by far the best - and what I'm using now - is version SH3 v1.4 installed with the Grey Wolves supermod - hi-res etc.

This huge mod has made such a big difference to the game!

Now for the problem......

When I first launched a career I was using the standard type VII sub, and everything was great - smooth graphics, attacking planes, explosions etc. etc.

But then after sinking over 200,000 tons by May 1940 (and yes, I use full manual settings) I upgraded to a Type IXB sub - then the odd problems began.

OK, I'm out at sea, I've torpedoed a ship, she's listing to port, I surface and fire shells into her hull to make her sink - but, when I line the deck gun up with the ship - all smoke and flames vanish from view....they are only visible when the ship is on the edge of my screen.

Then, if I'm on the surface or looking through the periscope and a bow wave is forming it doesn't appear if I look forward. The bow-wave graphice only appear if I turn the player's 'head' almost 90 degrees and as before they appear on the edge of the screen - most annoying - and takes away much on the 'immersion factor'.

The biggest glitch though - on the map - heading over Scapa FLow to clear north of Scotland to enter the Atlantic - the game freezes - crashes to desktop, and I get a huge stop error appear- asking if I want to send the report etc.

This now happens almost every 15 mins or so. And, has only been doing so since upgrading to a IXB.....most odd.

This was a totally clean install - I removed all trace of SH3 and mods prior to installing it with the Grey Wolves mod.

Please does anyone have a fix for this - perhaps the Grey Wolves team?

Thanks everyone,
