[REL] The Game Fixes Only Mod

[tonschk]

Hello , thank you for the answer WEBSTER , I am not sure about this bug because never happened to my SH4 before the addition of GFO , when I use high speed time compression , the game crash and in the screen appeared " Silent Hunter 4 got a problem and need to be closed " when I play the game without time compression there is no problem , and when I use time compression at low speed no problem either , therefore the problem only happened at high time compression " already two times my game crashed using high time compression

hmmm, is this with GFO v1.0 or GFO v1.1?

it could be your running out of memory so make sure you clean out your temp internet files and run a disk cleanup and see if that fixes it.

also what mods are you running?

Hello , thank you for the help , I already downloaded the GFO 1.1 but not yet replaced the GFO 1.0 , today I played a bit SH4 and I have done two times middle speed time compression without crash , I must check better the situation using more time compression

I have 3Gb DDR2 800GHz of memory nVidia 8800GT 512Ghz and a INTEL 8400E 3Ghz , of course I will do again disk defragmentation , disk clean etc

ok, less limber holes are already built into GFO so theres no reason to add that (but it wasnt hurting anything)

snorkel name fix is only needed to play the german side, otherwise you do NOT want it activated (just clarifying when to use it)

as for the ctd:

i think its a Real Env. thing, go to that thread and see page 9-10 of the Real Env. mod thread and you will see that the mod has ctd issues with the german side in some situations and if i remember correctly there may be a limit of how much TC you can use with Real Env.

environmental changes can have the most effect on time compression so try without real env mod and see what happens.


about memory usage:

the memory thing usually isnt that you dont have enough ram installed on your computer but rather that the memory you do have is filled with BS from everything you have been doing on your computer before so theres not enough available ram storage space left over when you game.

every time you visit a website or you download something it leaves temp files stored on your computer that stay there untill you reboot or run a disk cleanup utility.

well you can see how just doing normal every day stuff your temp internet files can grow as big as 1 to 1.5 gb in size.

this doesnt mean that its all causing direct ram usage but it does have a draining effect on the overall memory storage availability of the entire system.

now im not a big computer guy so i might be a little fuzzy on the specifics here but i think i explained it good enough for you to get the picture why not running disk cleanup utilities and having a lot of temp files slows your computer down and effects its performance.

Thank you very much , Yes I agree ,I remember the Environmental Five or Environmental Four and may be the Real Environmental mods have problems with time compression , better to use time compression at just low or medium speed , thank you for the info/suggestion to clean temporary internet files and disk cleanup ,

But the detail about the less water limber holes , I add this mod to the GFO mod because in my opinion the water limber holes were still excessive white , and in my opinion after adding the less water limber holes mod to GFO , the water limber holes become acceptable reduced

i just reconfirmed that the limber water is working in GFO and it makes no change at all if you add the limber holes mod on top of GFO so its something else going on.

in looking further i found that the real environments mod replaces the GFO file for the limber holes so thats the conflict causing the problem.

im glad this came up, now i can add the limber holes files back into GFO through the GFO patch for Real Env. so i'll go update that right now

EDIT - the Webster's GFO Patch for Real Env #1 has now been updated to include the fix to restore the lighter limber holes water color

if you arent sure if you have the correct version of this patch then check the file size which should be 611 KB in size. (the old version was 55 KB)

Thank you WEBSTER , I download at once the new version of GFO Patch for Real Env #1
