[REL]ROW Pacific Environments 3.3

[limkol]

Loved PE2 and am looking forwarward to installing this. I noticed that akdavis mentioned Operation Monsoon. I have just installed it. Will there be conflicts with PE3 and Operation Monsoon? If not, what is the installation order?
Thanks guys!

Thanks guys!

There are no conflicts that I can see. Looking back through the NSM thread, the only real issue seems to be that NSM was not made for Allied ships, so if you are playing a u-boat, you won't see the new sinking times (unless you decide to go rogue on the Japanese ).

K2 and crew, thanks again for making this game so much more I may just have to remove aircraft from the game and do nothing but cruise around on the surface all day. Thanks for all the hard work and attention to detail. guys

Now, take a bow, and go play and enjoy your work

Old ROW / PE2 seafoam is uploaded to filefront, you can find it on first page of this thread, this is for those who liked the PE2 seafoam better, but it's allso in a higher resolution which may perform bad on slower rigs.

Thanks for all these good responses, it encourages me and the rest of the team to relax now and maybe take the sub for a ride and sink some of those japanese warships, without alt-tabbing to photoshop / S3D all the time

@DeepIron nice pictures

You guys greatly improved the camera! It would be hard not to get good pics!

Yes, by all means shipmates! Take some leave, go ashore for some WELL DESERVED R&R!

And I was wrong it was no *.dll it’s a *.sys responsible for the bluescreen.
Vista told me in the error report that the Nvidia graphics driver is responsible for the system failure. Suggestions to solve this problem were windows or driver update. Since I tried FW 179.43 without results and my Windows is up to date I guess nothing can help until a new driver release from Nvidia.

Too bad… I actually like PE2 more than E4.3 but I guess I stick to E4.3 till Nvidia releases a new driver.

It is with HUGE regret that I must now report that I also have the Crash to Black Screen of Death at the first explosion, even just the first minor shell hit on my Sub from a DD...(and even though I am only in periscope view, not external view of an actual explosion...which somehow leads me to think it is NOT a graphics issue at all). I had this prob some time ago shortly after installing SH4 1.5 and thought after much experimentation that I'd cured it by installing the Nvidia 174.93 drivers. However, I realize now that I was not observant or scientifically precise in my research methodology. I had also been playing around trying out W_Clear's Environment MOD at the same time.

I now conclude that I cannot run PE3 (nor the earlier PE 2) with SH4 1.5. I tried PE3 with all in-game graphics Options ON, and also with Each and all of PP and Envronment FX and Volumetric Fog turned OFF, singly and/or enmasse. Always the Crash to BSOD. BUT, when I re-enable Environ4.3 instead of PE3, everything runs just fine with all Graphics Options ON.

As I said, I very much regret not being able to use PE3 with SH4 1.5. Not a MODder myself, but isn't there some way to discover what files differ between the W_Clear Environment MOD and PE3...to help determine what might be causing the supposed extra strain on 8800GTX 768MB cards (seemingly the only card effected) or any other cause of the BSOD only with PE3 plus SH4 1.5, not with Environ 4.3??....and again it is only with PE plus 1.5 as there is absolutely no problem with PE2 or PE3 enabled with SH4 1.4.

PE3 and all its options and with all in-game graphic options maxed out, works just lovely with SH4 1.4.

Go figure. It's way over my head to decipher.

Which bits of PE3 did you install and are you running any other mods?

[Deimos01]

DL'd and installed and will give it a try in a bit. From the screenies this mod looks fantastic and I cant wait to see it in game. You guys should definately take some time off and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Doolittle,
Have you had a read here .......

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=128517

It shows the link but here's link to Nhancer .......

http://www.nhancer.com/

Do a full removal of SH4 and then re-install

Try SH4 a quick single run or at least get to settings and config before adding any mods

Make sure you have the latest DX (march 2008 i believe)

Try off the bat with no adjusting of any nvidia defaults when using pe:3

Then have a mess with AA etc and see if you get lockups

If you do then try Nhancer

More info the more chance we all have of chipping in suggestions to help

Thanks for all the suggestions....but....I have been a very active participant in all the threads/subjects you have named: I am well versed in nHancer, AA options, and I am the actual creator of the Absolutely Perfect Dummies Guide to Re-installing SH4.

I simply have to conclude that there is some probably very simple 'line of code' differentiating PE3 and W_Clear's Environment MOD.....and the SH4 1.5 'Patch'.

Again, thanks for the suggestions.

Just getting back into the game and downloaded PE3. Did not see in the readme which version this mod is compatable with. I checked the Mod sticky and no help there. Is this for 1.5 only?

[thasaint]

i'm confused... sry i read the readme

the bubbles, caustics, and roll pitch #3, can i use this with TMO?

[Defiance]
