GWX 2.0 Error's

02-17-08, 10:46 PM

I have had quite a big error on GWX 2.0..there are 2 errors.

1. When I take a screenshot, I go into the ubisoft/sh3 folder and look at it..it appears black (nothing on it).

2. I look through my Uzo and it is very laggy of course, when you are facing 0-320 & 0-50 degrees. It is hard to see and of course there is always fog through the Uzo.

1. Try using an external screen capture application like FRAPS or SnagIT instead

2. Hit CTRL+P. This is a stock nVidia card specific graphics bug that came with the original game and has nothing to do with GWX.

Hey TarJak!

What exactly does this do: "Hit CTRL+P. This is a stock nVidia card specific graphics bug"??
And when do you know if you need to use it??
Is it the blurry periscope thing if heard about??
Thx in advance

CTRL+P turns off particles, nvidia cards dont like rendering particles through the UZO for some reason.

The blurry periscope thingy you speak of is caused by sh3 commander`s sabotage/malfunctions mod, to simulate periscope lens damage. (i think the latest version2.7 has done away with this effect since it was a little annoying)

No idea about the screenie problem... sorry.

Flakmonkey got there before me. IIRC this was actually documented in the original SHIII manual so it's a particle rendering bug that's been there since the beginning and the devs never got round to fixing or couldn't find a fix that didn't screw things up for other cards.

Thanks for the info guys, I will try it out. Ever since I had MOH, I downloaded a Nvidia video card for the "GL subsystem". But in my computer I have Nvidia GeForce FX 5500.

Thanks! I guess I had to 'work it' (play it for a while) to get it used to my computer. My screenshots work good now!
