TMO download. File missing

Can anyone help? I have redownloaded TMO and the game fails to load as it says FILE missing " data/menu/data/black80.tga!

Anyone know what is causing this and how I rectify??

Welcome aboard!

I've taken the liberty of moving the thread to the SH4 forum, where hopefully more TMO users will see it.

Before you reloaded TMO did you do a clean install?

The black80.tga is a simple file that gets loaded in the normal game. Since it is a graphic file if it has become corrupt the game may not load at all.

I would do a complete, clean install of the game before loading new mods. It is best practice when switching from one mod to another or trying to reload something that has given you trouble to simple wipe out everything including anything remaining after an un-install and reload the game and then add your new mod set.

I know some who do not do this and have no issues but occasionally you do get a corrupt file so the BEST practice is do do a clean install.
