WIN 10
Thinking about returning to SH3 with the GWX Mod once again. Does SH3 run under WIN 10?

Set it run under WIN 7 in compatibility mode and as administrator.

I installed my SH3 directly on the c:\ drive i.e. (c:\Silent Hunter III), not to any Win folders from the disk. That's my step by step. Are you running any mods? What PC setup do you have?

It does not have to be c:\, just using it as an example.
Not sure what could be wrong. You should have the SH3.exe set up for compatibility for Windows 7, or XP and as Administrator. It should work out of the box in Win 11 once installed. Sorry, I am not sure what is wrong with your installation.

From the Grey Wolves GWX Support web page:
"You must install GWX3 GOLD over a CLEAN, UNMODIFIED installation of Silent Hunter 3 with the latest patch (1.4b) installed. The Grey Wolves GWX Support Page I believe this is the problem. I hope this helps. |
