Steam version of SHIV and modding issues

Rifleman75 · 03-08-09, 08:14 PM

What kinds of problems does it cause if it's in the x86 folder?

At first it was running fine, but now I'm on my third patrol and in late '42 early '43 and the game CTD all the time. Usually when trying to go to external view, or using the periscope, or trying to dock.

It didn't crash at all before.

I wanted to install it on my other hard drive, but I haven't figured out how to do that with a Steam game without uninstalling all of them and then starting over fresh on the other drive.

If you attempt to mod the game when it is loaded in the X86 program files errors occur. Did you put in mods and the CTD started? I recommend making a root folder outside of the X86 files.

I never even played the stock game, I installed mods right away. It didn't CTD at all for a while.

It did it some today, then I ended the patrol and got a new boat and it quit doing it. I think it only did it on my third patrol. Kinda weird if that was the case.

I don't see how steam could have anything to do with this, since I play SH3 on steam and have modded it hell and back.
