Quick question : anyone getting freezes with GWX 1.02?

Vacillator · 02-28-07, 11:58 AM

I ask because my normally robust PC has frozen each and every time in my last 3 outings with 1.02. First time was after an hour traversing the North Sea, no contacts. Second time, not even on patrol, but in the main SH3 screen (the one with campaign, options etc.). Third time was after spending an hour catching and positioning for a convoy heading down from the Scottish coast, lots of contacts!

This never happened to me in GWX prior to 1.02 and it didn't happen all of yesterday when I was using Office applications (yeah I know not the same stresses on components).

If no-one else is seeing this I'll explore temperatures etc. in the PC.

Thanks guys.

Yep i have had it happen a couple of times too. Frozen solid but the sound seems to loop

Hi, this is a common occurrence even pre GWX; just about everybody on the Forum has encountered this. If it happens again, press the F12 button repeatedly. This should free up the page and the sound loop

Yes, it is a problem with SHIII vanilla. If you play it enough, it will happen

Thanks for that. Will give F12 a go next time.

For the record I have had a lot of crashing problems with 1.02, I am going to reinstall GWX tonight and test without the 1.02 patch to compare and see what happens.
