First post on GWX-ish site so forgive me if I missed a thread.

Was running GWX 2.0 fine on WinXP(MCE), decided to donate and upgrade to 3.0. Install appears to go great, but after career load all I get is CTD when load tries to progress to "Mission." Fabulous little Microsoft "do you want to send error report" msg and all. Generic clean 1.4b install, no JGSME updates yet selected from desktop. Re-downloaded, re-deleted folders, etc. current drivers, Adobe, all the goop per instructions.

I'm back to 2.0 until I get this sorted.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Anyone having similar issues?

Dell XPS G4, P4-860D, 8800GTX, 3GB,etc.
Wellcome to subsim.com

Your problem seems related to a not complete uninstall of the previous SH3/GWX install. Sometimes there are left overs in the windows register, someone will be able to help you better than me, as I remember having seen many threads around with instructions for a cleaner unistall/reinstall.

Default Nordo130 ie,Crashing

Unfortunately I have done the same. I've installed several times in the last two weeks, and tried everything to get this to run on my xps710 , 4 gigs of memory, quad 266mhz proc., twin sli 8800gtx nvidea cards; to no avail.
I love this game, but it always crashes after a kill, or after a save, or even
if I try to up time to 256 in game. I'm frustrated. It must be the quad processors, or maybe the nvidea 8800gtx cards have an issue? I'm ready to go back to my old computer. Right now, all I can do is play SH3, plain, without any of the graywolves additions? I wish I had an answer for you,
but I do not.
I uninstall with a windows program that completely wipes the hard drive of any left over files. This doesn't help. It still crashes.
I also run Win XP Media Center Edition. Maybe this is the cuprit? I always end up with a win msg saying: Silent Hunter 3
Needs to close, etc. It's always an ntdll issue it says????
On the bright side, while I'm actually in the game: GWX3 is beautifull. Thanks to the Dev Team for the many hours of hard work. What a wonderful addition to SH3!!! Also, any donation to this site, is money well spent! Thanks again guys.

When you perform your uninstall operation use the disc and not the control panel, perform a registry clean and don't forget to delete the SH3 folder in C/MyDocs

Default Thanks for the help! I'll try that!

I was running the install through typical Control Panel-Add/Remove programs, browse - set-up, read disc, etc. I'll try again straight from AutoRun install off of DVD then patch it up to 3.0.

I had been sure to delete all old traces, dos, etc. Here's giving it another go!

Wahoo! (no pun intended)

Thanks,

Nordo

Default Compass Rose is off-center

This has been a persistant problem since GWX 2 -- my compass rose is off center. (The green line is my Nav Plot.) Anyone have any ideas as to it's cause or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all!

Questions:

- how to enable my IX/D2 1942 to use the same torpedos that the XXI type use in 1945?

- How to increase the number of shells stored on this same u-boat?

Thanks by advance!

Help Please?

You can find it in the download section here. It brings back the tail and color.

Hi U-331,

You would be better served by starting a new thread here in the mods workshop to ask for assistance with your modification. This thread is for matters relating to the GWX mod itself.

You can also use the search function to find old threads on those matters and instruction on how to modify the same.

Thank you.
