GWX 3.0 MP Mission Freeze

Brandmon · 09-29-09, 04:22 PM

I am trying to get a mission multiplayer game up with my mate so we can have some fun with the new missions inlcuded with GWX 3.0. Problem is that whenever we try them, the game freezes. it freezes at exactly the point when the screen switches between 'Not so long ago...' and the game (the result being that text and the Command Room being slightly visible). on the other hand, generated missions work perfectly. Any ideas on what might be the problem?

Also I tried to turn the firewall off, ran it as admin (Vista), tried after reboot but none worked. Also I have a fairly strong PC so I doubt that is the problem.

Welcome to Subsim Brandmon!

SH3 multiplayer is merciless in one aspect:

If you and your multiplayer partners do not have the exact SAME installation of SH3 and/or additional mods... SH3 MP will not run.

For example... If you are using the 16km Atmosphere included optional mod... SO MUST EVERYONE attempting to share the MP game with you.

I say AGAIN for the sake of clarity (not to be mean) SH3 multiplayer is merciless in this way. Each of you must be using the EXACT SAME FILES. Do not try to find exceptions to this rule.

Thanks for the welcome

Have tried that out and it has worked perfectly! I guess SH3 is now pleased with the mods and won't complain no further. :P Thanks alot! Looking forward to making a MP mission for SH3 now that I can safely test it out ^^

Welcome aboard Kaleun Brandmon

There are a few MP sites about, the one I often frequent can be found at:

http://comsubcommand.spruz.com/

There is a healthy, friendly and mature set of sub simmers regularly frequenting this site who enjoy nothing more than a game of GWX3.0 MP.

The best time tends to be around 21:00/21:30 GMT.
