It's working again!!

Found the post from Hienz1

here:http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...153900&page=26

and used the download links he posted to get new 1.4b and rld-sh14.rar files which I then installed iaw his and Bl!tzkr!eg's instructions as I did the first time last year and this time (as it did back then) it's worked. As far as I can tell they were the same as the original ones I was using but who cares it's working again!

Thanks to everyone who's taken the time to read and offer advice, truly a stunning forum.

Steve.

Excellent! Good luck with your patrols!

SH3 is such a fragile game. The fact that we are willing to see all this trouble for it just accentuates its uniqueness.

This forum is the best there is anywhere.

Wholeheartedly agree on both points.

A newer version results in faster install, less head ache pills, more fun if you have a Beer or two while installing.

Glad your up and running again.

I told another SHIII Captain , while help'n him with mods , "that after all these years of mod'n and OS changes , that SHIII is built like a house of cards . All is cool until the wind blows".

It's not really a House of Cards.
It is a very stable Game/Sim for the most part.
It's just that if any Modder misses any part of making things work together?
You get a CTD and then thousands of posts with little info to try to assist.
Newer members don't have the insight to the Game as Older members do.
It's the older Members that may have that one clue or fix.
As a lot of issues are Install now days? that's why I always ask for system specs and DETAILS!!
Do you cough during install, Did you sneeze?

I'd think 95% of the time someone has not done something right and things seem to prove that.
