SH4/wU-Boat Missions and mods

SeniorSpan · 01-15-12, 11:01 AM

G'day all,

I've been adding and removing mods for some time now; this has resulted in several questions. But first my system stats, p4 at 3.01 MHz 4mg RAM, and older but working G-force graphics card, XP Pro with service pack 3.

I'm using SH4 with the U-boat update; I've stayed in the realm of the smaller mods, no big campaigns; adding and removing mods, such as 3000 yard bearing tools, blacksmoke2 draft and periscope depth fix for 1.5, high res PPi, hires Dark HUD dials, historical 4 bladed props, natural sinking mechanics3.3 and so on.
So, my first question: is there a point after a period of adding and removing mods that I should reload SH4 and the u-boat update to ensue no integrity is lost?

As I've been reading about the Run Silent Run Deep and Trigger Maru campaigns I thought I would finally give these a go. I removed all the modes from SH4 leaving only the u-boat mission upgrade intact. I then downloaded TMO2.5 first and installed it, rebooted and started SH4. Impressed I was with the new layout and was anticipating the new world of realism I was about to encounter. I played for about a hour and saved my patrol as a new file. When I returned to play again I got all the way to the screen to load the game, which took me to page where I selected the particular game file I wanted to load, I selected my file, the load screen with the indicator bar appeared and completed the screen went black and the computer beep and rebooted. I tried this several times with the same results.
So, my second question; did I manage to screw this process up some how or do I need a capable system?

I appreciate your time.

Cheers
