Any ideas?

I've tried starting a new campaign and the same problem. I also think the weather seems suspiciously nice. This may have been affected too.

Also, when I did the original uninstall, I did it from the uninstall option on the DVD. Could there be files left over elsewhere? I know about the SH3 file in My Documents which I removed.



- Have you tried opening the mod files by themselves, outside of the game, or are you talking about trying to access them in the game ? If the latter, try the former.


- weather is controlled by the envsim.act file in your mail game directory. You can check dates on it to see if it's been changed/the version you want.


- Not that I know of; you did the My documents. Just check the install folder if you haven't already and it never hurts to run a registry cleanup. CCLeaner is a good one.

I'm trying to open the files outside of the game. I get the message 'unable to find software for the selected file'.

That is strange. Maybe a corrupted download.

OK I've reinstalled game at recommended location:

C:SHIII

Installed 4gb patch.

So far so good. Fatigue is back.

I'll next try mods.

One thought, did I read somewhere NOT to apply mods while in campaign? Do I have to be in port?

Great ! Any other problems, fire away. Do each mod one at a time, test game, etc. That will let you know if/which mod is the culprit.

Thanks again for your help John.

Next mod I want to try is Manos environments. This is confusing as there are several choices in the folder. Itried before but I wasn't sure if it was doing anything different.

My setup so far is:

4gb patch.

JGSME

Running Win7

Nvidia card. (Not sure which type?)


Here are the Manos files. Which would you recommend?

M.E.P v5 - VisualSensors for WAC v5.2

M.E.P v5 - VisualSensors for WAC5

M.E.P v6 - VisualSensors for WAC v5.2

M.E.P v6 - VisualSensors for WAC5

ManosEnvironmentPro v1.1

ManosEnvironmentPro v2.1

ManosEnvironmentPro v3 +FIX pack+Sensors

ManosEnvironmentPro v4.2

ManosEnvironmentPro v5

ManosEnvironmentPro v5 with GREEN Water

ManosEnvironmentPro v6

Update M.E.P v4.2 to v4.3



Thankyou!

Thankyou!

You have several versions of his work there; 1,2, 4, 5, and 6. You only need one in the game at a time, 6 is the latest if that matters to you.
However it is a 20k visual distance mod which may tax your pc if it's an older one.
I have used 5 and 6 but do not any longer but they're all excellent work. I liked his green work vs. the blue of the others, but that's me.

The various sensor files are only for the mod/manos version listed.

The main mod itself is the ones listed "ManosEnvironmentPro vX". MEP is the acronym used on the forum for the same mods.

Be sure to read his readme and info for install info.
