You said that you want to delete ,,lite campaign'' -- i told you that you not need to do that because ,,litle campaign,, it is NOT YET included in MO.

ok, tnx, mate. Another question is why Manos scopes in the list of mods though it included in DW UI 6 3 7 and DW UI 6 3 7 included in mega-mod?

The manos scopes are in the new UIs by TDW 6.3.7

Did a clean reinstall of sh-5 , installed mega-mod + patch 2. Still ctd upon loading into bunker or into single mission. my machne far exeeds recommended requirement. I starting to get anoyyed . Not towards the maker of this mod but i cant seem to figure out what makes the game crash all the time. Did the tutorial and my conning tower disapeared and some other parts of the hull . I dont know what i can do to make this mod work . I guess for some is does and for some it doesnt.

Are you able to play the stock game? If not, check to see if you have the 2008 Visual C Redistributable installed. If you do, uninstall it.

Worked for me.

I have no problem with this patch
Can you play sh5 without the mod?
So yes , test it than with the TDW UI mod. (not the MO from TDC)

Check some pages back about fixes I proposed for running amount of memory. If you're using a 32bit OS this is probably what's happening to you.

hmm, okay I searched around and didn't really see what I was looking for. How do I enable real navigation? Is it a seperate mod, or is it included, what do I have to change to make it work, etc.

Edit: Nevermind I gutted the New UI's mod and put real nav in from there.

Yes, kraszus wrotted this for me and it works:

,,You need to uninstall 'Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable 9.0.30729.4974 runtime'.

From this thread:-

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...edistributable

and the ,,32bit OS - fix'' that TDW explained also, offcource

Salute!

Try this only if you have at least 2 GByte of RAM and at your own risk and using Vista/Win7 32 bit version.
First download the explorer from http://www.ntcore.com/exsuite.php
Next make a backup copy of SH5.exe. Then start "CFF Explorer" and open the orginal SH5.exe file.
Now go to NT Header/File Header and click File Header. There you will find a button labeld "click here". Click it and select the mark at "App can handle> 2gb adressest "
Save the modified EXE, overwrite the orginal one (You do have your backup of it in a safe location right?).
If you run Windows Vista 64 or Windows XP 64 or Win7 64 you're ready and didnt need to read on. The rest is only for Windows Vista 32/Win7 32 or maybe Windows XP.
Now make Windows Vista/Win7 (32-Bit) ready to support more than 2 GByte.
Open a command prompt with Administration rights. You find it under "Programs->Accessories->Command prompt" click right and select "run as administrator".
Enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 3072" (without quotes) in the command window and press enter.
After that restart windows

To reset back to 2GB limit:
to reset the Increased User Adressspace just start the commandline prompt with Admin right again and enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 2048"

See if the above helps at all

Another idea is to install previous version of DirectX ( < v11). I have Win7 64bit but ALWAYS install previous DirectX versions for compatibility reasons. Go to Microsoft's website and search for DirectX. Run the DirectX web installer from their website. You can have DirectX9 AND DirectX11 installed on Win7.

EDIT:

just checked the sh5.exe file and it's large address aware so enabling the 3GB switch in 32bit OSs should help:

Microsoft (R) COFF/PE Dumper Version 9.00.30729.01
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Dump of file sh5.exe
PE signature found
File Type: EXECUTABLE IMAGE
FILE HEADER VALUES
14C machine (x86)
5 number of sections
4BCE9A96 time date stamp Wed Apr 21 01:26:30 2010
0 file pointer to symbol table
0 number of symbols
E0 size of optional header
122 characteristics
Executable
Application can handle large (>2GB) addresses
32 bit word machine

@TDW How is it going the new version of the mega mod ?? My crew is spending much time in Lorient´s canteen and the submarine in dry docks does not help Doenitz.

Until that Captain Marley is improving his english reading "Hitler´s Uboat War: The Hunters 1939-1942"

Totally Recommended.

I'm out on the road and have been since Monday. I can't work on it until I get back home to my home computer. I hope to be home in a couple of days.
