Sometimes, people won't believe in a cure because it makes them come to the realization that their world might actually be all screwed up after all.
JUST DO THE VERIFY.
Yes, you'll have to re-apply the TMO and other mods.
I've got quite good at this adding on mods and trying other things among modding a few parameters myself. Even finding ways to take the best parts of mods like TMO and making my own mix for best results.
In that learning process, I've been re-setting SH4 back to vanilla several times to make sure I have a vanilla start before modding.
Steam, absolutely sucks when it comes to integrity of your download.
Last time, about a week ago, I did a verify on SH4. Said 72 files failed verify and needed to re-download them. Second pass, same 72 files failed. Third pass, same 72 files failed. REBOOT. Forth verify 72 files failed, but this time it actually starts a download with a percentage progress count.
After that I reverify, 220 files failed and needed downloading. Sixth pass, 8 files failed. Seventh pass, All files passed and are OK.
THAT is how reliable Steam is to downloading. And yes my connection is pretty fast. 500 kilobytes per second download rate. I don't think the problem is with the internet, but with Steam's protocol for downloading.
VERIFY. Once you can finally get the message that all files are intact. Then try out the game. Then put on the mods because then you'll know you have a stable install.
