Default Damn you GWX!!!!

I had to get a new computer to run SH3............ then a new video card to run GW....... now GWX causes my poor old computer to freeze!!!!! Darn you! Looks like a great mod though, and it was stellar till it crashed like a Jap dive bomber! I LOVE the idea or a Black Sea attack by those crazy commies BTW, and the IID........ stellar!
Thats about it though........ keep up the great work!

Try updating the video drivers and maybe the sound first
Might be worth a try

Don't use strong language... Although you are frustrated

Did you update your SH3 to version 1.4? If not version 1.4, you can't apply GWX

What is your system configuration? Providing it can help us find the reason out

For me, even I have a high end system, I find rendering burning oil on the surface difficult and the frame rate dropped a lot

May help, can't hurt.

Most definitely
Sounds like your issues are hardware related

It would be interesting to know your system specifications.

Could your install be corrupt?

I got my second patrol to work.... out in the Atlantic. One hell of an upgrade! It was the black sea where my sky was all distorted, then crashamundo. I am gonna try another career in there after I press enter here.
