SH3 and GWX (again)

Corrupt_File · 12-16-06, 10:25 PM

Hey all,

So I just installed everything like so:
- Vanilla SH3
- 1.4b upgrade
- GWX
- GWX Mods (most all of them)
- SH3Cmdr2.7
- GWX related SH3Cmdr upgrades (those 4 cfg's)

When I run SH3Cmdr, it's fine, I start a career, but when I click Launch SH3, it has a "File not found" error... any ideas? (btw GWX w/o sh3 cmdr starts up fine!)

Sounds like its not pointed to the right folder to launch the exe

Default is C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII
So if you change the folder name after install it may not see it

Not sure how to alter the commander path to see the install

Ok, fixed it, thx. Now, a new problem. Loading the mission, the status bar gets to like 95% and it crashed to desktop... Windows better be sorry for the inconvenience... I remember reading about this before, and there was a fix, any suggestions? Thanks again.

When you uninstalled SH3, did you make sure there were no files in the Silent Hunter III folder?

Yes, I deleted the folder itself actually.

After I delete everything I can think of, I'll do a search on my computer for anything related to SH3* to see what I may have missed, if that helps.

Was your SH3 folder in C\My Documents empty before you've installed GWX??

If all else fails you might want to consider reinstalling :hmm:
