Happy hunting folks!

Probably not an officially approved idea but I started using this and it also put some strain on my video card. So I uninstalled the skins but left the basic mod in place.

It works great for me now. Probably not as pretty but I have got all the ships and it was a huge boost to my game.

Does anyone have an up to date link for the LIGHT version of this mod? The links in the OP are non-functioning

Cheers!

Thanks for the reply - I don't seem to be able to load the site. If I use my browser, it connects and gets nowhere, and my ftp client can't find a directory listing

Try again in a few minutes. The site has been hit and miss lately.

dont work for me mfm 3.2
the game is running but when i start a mission or campaign ,it's loading and then it's crush on the desktop.
do i need hsie 4gb patch ?

frau kaleun · 11-18-11, 02:23 PM

Yes, if you have enough RAM to make it worthwhile. If you only have 3 gigs or less, it may not help much or at all. If you have more than 3 gigs, then give it a try. The full MFM requires so much extra RAM that trying to run it without the 4GB patch (and enough RAM on board to begin with) is usually going to result in a CTD.

In addition, if you are on a 32 bit OS you may need the 3GB switch for Windows in order to make Windows allocate more than 2 gigs of RAM to SH3 and other non-system/OS applications.

BogdaNz · 11-18-11, 02:25 PM

i have 2 gb ram on my computer ,so it's not enough ?

frau kaleun · 11-18-11, 02:47 PM

If you only have 2GB of RAM total on your computer, the 4GB patch won't help you. It's designed to allow the game to use more than 2GB of RAM if extra is available (up to a maximum of 4GB total). With only 2GB total for your whole system, there will never be in excess of 2GB available to the game so the patch will not do any good and it's unlikely that you will be able to run the MFM mod.

You can try the lite version, or just add selected ships one by one to see if that works, but the full mod just needs more juice than what your system can provide. Sorry.

Hardly anyone can get the full mod to run on 2GB. As FK said, you'll likely need to try the lite version, add ships manually or possibly upgrade your RAM.

NM, thought links were dead, found it linked again further in the thread. For some reason my browser was only showing 4 total pages to this thread, so I came back a few minutes later and there are actually 58!

There in, I found the answer to my own question, hehe.

Sorry for the unneeded post.

Reference bump. I had the same problem, same situation. So if I follow everything, it's a memory managent/ 4GB patch issue?

I'm running GWX3.0 w/o MFM and it runs great, but when it was loaded(mfm) the game would crash at the load screen.

I'm on win7 home. I guess I need to look up how much RAM I have when I get home.
