Part 3 works just as fine, you just have to be more patient.

Yay... all of them are installed...

Bad news: It takes five to ten minutes to load a match offline (for conquest so I can look around), then it crashes and is laggy.. and that is only midway..

The convoy map gets to around 100% then the entire computer crashes :3 fun times

It's most likely your hardware. Either a weak video card or onboard video chip, not enough RAM for the game to store information in, or not enough CPU power to initiate the instructions that it recieves from RAM.

Agree with Swaffy. Inexplicable failures are either serious mod flaws or issues on your end (software/hardware). As you already described your gaming rig as a toaster, there's a very good chance FHSW won't run well at all. FHSW is the biggest mod (before even BG42) in terms of content and stresses the BF42 framework to its limit. Even a high end rig can have perfomance issues with these mods. An old/crappy rig will definitely have serious trouble when running complex maps (with many objects) and especially when running it with (many) bots.

Just buy a new rig, they really are not expensive.

Well, money is EXTREMELY tight where I am :(Only got enough money for the essentials and a few luxuries so it is taking time to save up :/

Anyway, yeah. I have Battlegroup 42 which seems to run pretty well even if a few maps take a while to load. Plus, I have used most of the hard disk space on my PC with other games and mods xD

Thanks dudes :)

Try not to max out your hard drive. Your computer needs space left in order for the system to run well.
