The box follows me everywhere I go, and when I clicked on the guy I got the lower box that says "Injured".

Hi Steve - as Sober has said this is caused by an error in the options.py file and is the most likely issue (replace with unedited one)

It can also be caused by a currupt download.

But before downloadind a fresh one - try running SH5.exe as administrator

Okay, just did that, no change.

Okay, I'll try that next.

Possible, but it was running fine earlier.

I have XP. Is that even an option? If so, how do I change it?

[Sailor Steve]

Okay, further news: I did as earlier suggested and disabled all mods, re-enabling only NewUIs 6.9, and still had the problem, so I disabled that one again and the problem is gone.

So do I re-download 6.9, just use 6.8, which worked fine before, or is there another solution?

And another question: How do I delete old campaigns, since I keep starting new ones for testing and their starting to pile up? In SH3 and SH4 you could delete them with a click, but I don't see a tab for that anywhere in SH5.

Oh, and another: I like BRF, but I want to try the FX mod, and the readme says they're incompatible. Is there a workaround, or do I just have to choose? *sigh*

not sure here Steve. The options file swap would usually fix it.

You can delete save games in the "save game options"
To delete campaigns - "\Documents\SH5\data\Users" and delete by user folder
or into "\Documents\SH5\data\Users\**your name**" and delete by date.

Oh, and another: I like BRF, but I want to try the FX mod, and the readme says they're incompatible. Is there a workaround, or do I just have to choose? *sigh*

Mai did a mod to merge these zone files so that both could work.

Install TDWs FXv0.19 and then this one on top http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...3&postcount=25

[Sailor Steve]

I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled NewUIs 6.9, with no change, and I tried taking it out and going back to 6.8. Still no change.

Steve, is this from a saved game?

If so it might corrupt, tried with a new start already?

[Sailor Steve]

Nope. Both pictures are from new campaigns.

Run the DbgView app before starting the game (\data\Applications). Send me the output of it. From your last screenshot it appears you are running out of memory. Start task manager (Ctrl+Alt+del) and select the Performance tab. Watch the memory numbers as the game loads.

I have exactly the same problem as you do, Sailor Steve. Kinda hard to believe we are running out of RAM when I can stack 20+ mods and SH5 runs fine - but when I load only the UIs6.8.0/6.9.0 mod I crash at the bunker...

Please do not think I am beating up on TDW - he has done so much for the SH5 community! I am deeply grateful and in his debt. But somewhere there is a bug, methinks.

[Sailor Steve]

I'm starting to think my poor old computer just isn't up to the task. I got rid of NewUIs and OHII and things seemed to work alright. On the other hand I could dump all the other mods I tried and those two might work, but where's the fun in that? I'll keep fiddling with it, but it's probably going to have to wait until I can finally afford a new rig.

No problems, though. It's all fun.

I am sure i had that before and i have enough ram . Un enable the mods and Delete the TDW extra folders in the SH5 main game folder (TDWUtils etc) . Re enable the mods .

[Sailor Steve]

I'm looking now and there are no folders in SH5 at all except Data and Mods. There are, however, a large group of files that start with 'PageAutomation' and end with '_draggables.tdw'. These aren't in the SH5 game folder but outside, in the Ubisoft folder. Should they be in the SH5 folder?

All those x_draggables.tdw files are from my UIs mod. They store the position data for all the draggable items for that page. You can safely delete all of them. There are more files in your SH5 folder that are made by UIs mod but I can't recall all of them that the mod makes. IIRC there should be 3-4 more than these x_draggables.tdw files.

[Sailor Steve]

There are a lot of files in the SH5 folder, but none of them say "TDW", "NewUIs" or anything that I would recognize as being from the mod.

I'm going to disable everything and install just NewUIs and OHII, and see what happens that way.
