Frustration with SH5

[j_o_nn_y]

I wonder if anyone can help. I recently installed SH5 and installed nearly all the mods that Sober has because I didn't want to mess around for hours/days trying to make the game work. My list is this :-

I then loaded the tutorial mission and soon realised there was no help on how to finish this and figured that it was due to OH II. I found out from these forums that you can skip the tutorial and so I did this.

I then went into the bunker to get ready for my first proper mission and came to screen that looked like this :-

(http://s1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee441/j_o_nn_y/?action=view&amp;current=SH5.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee441/j_o_nn_y/SH5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br/><br/></center> Should I be getting a box in the middle of the screen?. I have also noticed that the first load of the level takes ages too.)
Im not sure whether this is right where I have that box in the middle of the screen and all the dials around it. If it is right I dont know who to go to about starting the mission.

Also Im not too happy about the loading times when Im going into a mission. They seem alright when you reload it but when you exit out of the program and go back in the loading times take quite a few minutes.

very simple answer uninstall it and put
SH4 or SH3 on and take it back to the shop:damn:

[j_o_nn_y]

Well Im not taking it back just yet. ;). Ive got rid of all my mods and just played the tutorial fine. Ive got into base and that issue I had in the screenshot isnt there. Im going to test the mods bit by bit and see what was causing the problem. Probably the UI had got messed up.

If you have open horizons 2 then you dont do the tutorial .

Taking the game back is ridiculous just because it doesnt work with one set up!

This is just wrong and not helpfull:nope:


Your screenshot is a common problem caused by something wrong in TDWs options.py
Replace that options file with an unedited one diretct from your TDWsUI download:up:

[j_o_nn_y]

Im not sure where that file is cos ive done a general search and I think that I have discovered 3 of them called Thedarkwraithuseroptions.py. If this is the file where is the one i should replace?.

I have realised, with Sobers setup the bunker screen fps is really good. I just have that problem with a messed up UI.

When I tried another Mod setup I noticed that the bunker environment is painfully slow and is unplayable. I tested the mods I had and finally just tested it with Magnum Opus on its own. It still is slow with this so this must be the culprit!.

Has anyone else experienced this?.

I would also like to know if there is a nice setup without Magnum Opus that people use?.
