GW and Frontflotille 2.0 don't get on with each other.

Hi, I have a (non-internet) gaming Computer upstairs and I managed to patch SHIII and install Grey Wolves from a CD; all went smoothly until I added Frontflotille 2.0 then the game crashed that badly that I ended up uninstalling everything and have re-installed SHIII, patch and GW. I seem to remember reading somewhere in this Forum that you could 'dual-install' so you could have the 2 independent from each other i.e. start a Career with GW and also another with Frontflotille ?! If this is true, could somebody provide me with the 'recipe' on how to do this ?

Here is the link on how to do a second install of SH3 on your computer.

Hi, thanks for the link, I tried that but to no avail.. when I did the second installation with a patch then Frontflotille, the game runs smoothly but it shows 1.3 and not 1.4 ?! I could live with that so created a Career and started to see that it would run for a bit then saved the patrol and exited. When I started up the Grey Wolves version, it showed the Career and relevant statistics from the Frontflotille version even though they are in seperate folders..weird or wot ?! so I tried to resume the Career (in GW mode) got the status bar then the 'SHII has encountered a problem' etc. etc. I could try installing SH Commander 2.6 from a Disc to see if it would 'manage' the 2 but that might complicate matters. Anyone have any ideas ?

Even if you have twenty installs and one career in each - ALL careers will show on each and every install
So you have to remember which career goes with which game
You can use SH3commander for multiple installs - instructions are in the readme
Here it is - post 148 http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...t=95448&page=8

Oh and yes the patch does show 1.3 - dont now why but it does

Thanks for that bigboywooly especially the 1.3 bit as that was really driving me up the wall

I'm going to try and install SHIII Commander 2.6 and see if that will solve the problem even if it means starting a Career from scratch (I'd just started viewing Leprechauns thru my scope) so no big loss there !
