Technical Issue: Final patrol won't load

Mios 4Me · 02-21-19, 09:20 PM

Thanks for the assist. I'm over fifty sinkings on this patrol, so your comment is probably spot on.

I have 4 GB RAM on Win 10 64-bit.

do not despair. get a copy of large address aware and enable SH4 with it and try to re-load your mission. it.could.work.

I'll try it as soon as I find a reliable copy. Maybe someone will chime in here.

CapnScurvy's Windows10 Large Address Aware SH4 Install.
He has a link to the original thread where the fellow that wrote Large Address Aware (LAA) posted. It doesn't really matter though if the program used is 32-bit or 64-bit.

i just received confirmation that either of the links that i posted will work.
LAA only comes as a 32-bit app so, no worries.

be sure to set SH3.exe Property Read-Only to OFF (unchecked).
then d/l LAA, run it in Beginner mode, browse to your install of SH4, set the indicator ON and save.
if you get to running multiple instances of SH4 be sure to run LAA for each instance.

I have SH4 installed in Steam's default directory. Would that make any difference?

it shouldnt.
store LAA in the same folder as SH4 and run it from there.

Thanks for your help - it's truly appreciated. Unfortunately, the patrol still won't load. I installed LAA and changed the .exe file as directed but nada. Read-only was already unchecked.

My inclination is to delete 1.5 from the new laptop, install 1.3 along with the career files and LAA, then upgrade to 1.4 and hope for the best.

It had been quite a patrol: fifty plus sinkings, including three entire convoys (one by gun; one by torps only) and I'd just refit for one last sweep before the end.
