do you start GWX by SH3Commander?

[Lt commander lare]

no sh3 commander is not installed i clicked on the icon on the desktop for gwx silent hunter 3 and im getting the error and im using windows vista and sh3 was working fine and it was patched to 1.4 and it was a clean install no traces of sh3 on the computer and im getting an error when i try to load it


lt commander lare

here what I found quickly.

This is how I installed on Vista.
Install Sh3
Patch to 1.4
Make a copy of the Silent Hunter III folder for easier restore.
Install GWX
Install GWX1.02
Run JSGME to install the GWX options you want
Update StarForce
Start Sh3 once, I started an career, went out 50km and returned to port.
Install Sh3Commander 2.7
Install GWX102Cfg4SH3Cmdr
Run SH3Cmdr, pick your settings and go...

but i installed 3.0 the latest gwx is there something im doing wrong so i can get it to work

lt commander lare

alright, the procedure must be like this:
be sure to have no traces of SH3 on your system, make a clean install, patch to 1.4 (if you haven't a newer disk, already patched), the the GWX install (just be sure all files are in the same folder, the exe will do the rest; or you got the single-file, this is easiest), there is an issue with re-booting then, but I can't remember well (pls read in the vista-thread).
so far it went well??

There is a page missing which SH3 cant find so aborts
Either it wasnt a clean SH3 install that has a residue of a mod left in
or
You are using Vista

If using Vista I always install outside the program files folder
Anywhere - make a folder on the C drive and install to that
If you install into program files Vista will hold some files as compatability files
If you install a mod then start the game Vista will chuck those compatability files back in making it fubar
I cant for the life of me remember how to get to those compatabilty files - there may be a tab up top whilst you are in you Silent HunterIII folder

Best bet is to uninstall all and then reinstall OUTSIDE the program files
Never had a problem using that method

Not sure if Windows 7 has something similar - wouldnt surprise me

i finally got sh3 patched to 1.4 and then installed grey wolves and then the patch i go to launch the game it starts to load gwx and then the red bar reaches the end and then says silent hunter 3 has stopped working what do i have to do to use this mod i didnt know it was this complicated if you can help me with this i would appreciate it its very frustrating i will check back here in the morning


lt commander lare

[Lt commander lare]

does anyone know what im doing wrong at this point im also using the no cd option would that cause grey wolves not to work and should i buy the gold pack that neal said is starforce free and already patched to 1.4

You didnt say whether Vista or windows 7

Either way
Try start/control panel/problem reports and solutions

On the left click - see problems to check

In there will be your instance of SH3 closing

Right of that will be view details

Post whats in there - someone may be able to help

Mine shut down last night with this error

Fault Module Name: SH3Sim.act

Which is a problem with a unit ingame - have a rough idea what it is as only just added it

[Lt commander lare]

im using vista and the problems and solutions said its appcrash thats whats its saying

lt commander lare

[Lt commander lare]

and i installed it in c drive and not program files

lt commander lare

[Lt commander lare]

I came over a post from Thaum and suddently my problems solved
And now my Sh3 runs like a charm , smooth , to be honest , I don't see any thing with the game , no problems at all . I have installed :

* Sh3 + patch 1.v4b
* GWX3.0 GOLD
* SH3Cmdr3.2
* the newest JSGME + several mods


Be sure to follow EXACTLY what's been written in the post .

My personal thanks goes to Thaum

Here it is :






" Ok, I've got it running through the following steps. Perhaps it might help anyone else with problems in windows7:

1. Remove sf from previous installation with the official removal tool.

2. Re-install sh3 but do not run it yet.

3. patch it to 1.4b (run as administrator otherwise it won't work)

4. My version of sh3 came with sf, so I ran the crack, as posted above in this thread.

5. Change the desktop resolution to 1024 x 768.

6. run sh3 without the Cd in the tray.

7. go to options and de-select full screen so it will run sh3 in its own window. Exit sh3

8. Change desktop back to my original resolution.

9. Install Grey Wolves.

sh3/grey wolves now runs but in its own small window which I have to squint at, but it's better than nothing.

The alternative is to change my desktop resolution to 1024 x768 everytime I want to run sh3/grey wolves in full screen mode
