Could be some incompatibility between mods? Or since I never did the 3Gb thing for SH3 (never need it), could be because of this?

HW3 10-29-10 01:28 PM

Some graphics intensive mods there. My guess would be the 3Gb thing for SH3 is needed. I run most of those mods and have 8Gb of ram, and I needed the 4Gb patch just to get it to load up, let alone run.

Jimbuna 10-30-10 05:24 PM

I'd have to agree with HW3.....try the patch.

Rhodes 10-30-10 05:42 PM

Well, I didn't want to do it, to mess with the boot.ini file, but I am thinking that's the only way to play SH3 now. Is there a quick link/tutorial for what to do like I was very dumb in this matters?:D Please jim?:D:D:oops:

Thank you, buts just a few questions. I use 32 bit XP and only have 3 gb of ram. I should use the 3 gb patch and alter the boot.ini for this, right? And possibly I shoud use the one change that give one a failsafe, isn't?

Rhodes 11-05-10 10:26 AM

Sorry for the bump on this thread but I kind need help here!

IIRC the 3GB patch is designed to allow older games to use a full 3 gigs of RAM when they are running, provided you have 3 gigs free and available.

If so, and you only have 3 gigs on your computer total, the game will not have access to all of it even if patched - some RAM has to be available just to have the OS up and running and any other necessary functions. I don't know how much that is, but if it's enough to negate the benefits of patching the game to use more than it currently can, then there would be no point in patching it.

I see, one of my fears. But by some crazy reason I decided to do a little test and began remove the heavy mods. I sucessefuly run the game by removing Ace's Multimod compatability fix release v1.3 public beta but inside the sub, lost the obs peri animation, shift+F2 camera was a little crazy (in the new interiors and even in one old one, inside the tower) and both hatchs were close but if I continuated forward, I would see the new interiors but got stuck and get the message "camera out of sectors"!

If the Multimod compatability fix includes things that are required to make some of your other mods compatible with each other, then removing it might mean they are no longer compatible and this could result in one or more of them not working correctly.

I'm not using it myself so I can't say for sure - there is a thread devoted to it so that might be the best place to look.

The FM_New interiors?
My post was more about, with the multi mod activated, I always got CTD, with out it the game loaded fine, but of course that many of the mods will run "wild"!

You might want to see if there is a "lighter" version of the compatability mod that will get all the affected mods to work together, without adding a whole lot of additional stuff.

Rhodes 11-05-10 02:00 PM

I see, I was unaware that existed a ligh version. It's a pitty about the additional stuff, but one can not have everything. Also Xmas is comming and I can get more ram, eheheh.
Thank you Frau Kaleun, will post if i had some success or not!

AFAIK, Aces was the one who first started working on compatability fixes for New Interiors and some of the other mods that had small conflicts with each other. I don't know if there's something that will work for you without putting too much extra load on your system, but if you have not found something suitable, his threads would probably be the best place to look for info.
