Add-on woes in Windows 7 HP SP1

SSI01 · 03-12-15, 08:57 PM

Good evening all.

It has been a while since I've posted here and I'm sorry to say it's re: a problem with SH4 in Windows 7.

I just installed the sim into an external drive where it boots up fine. The problem lies in getting it to launch after I choose the saved game (first one in the list). I will get the scroll on the bottom of the sub screen and then the "wait" box - at which point it does a CTD.

My system:
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
AMD Phenom II X4 940 processor, 3.00 GHz
4.00 GB RAM
64 Bit OS
Samsung monitor, screen res 1920X1080

Sim was playing outstanding well last night until I downloaded and installed a few "tweaks" for it. Last one I installed was the SH4 "Underwater Trip" but only the plankton removal add-on. It worked very well last night. I'd hate to lose it as it does enhance gameplay in my opinion. Oh, and I also added the "Fuso" add-on which played very well also. I should add I can play quick missions and training scenarios with no problem. What seems to be the problem with the saved missions?

It could be that the save file is broken. Can you load any other save files?

Also, some mods do not take well to being loaded when at sea.

Interestingly enough, I had begun a war patrol before adding the things I downloaded from this site.

First, I'm going to try resurrecting one of the other "saved" files. If that works, it's likely I'll have to just flush this patrol due to a damaged "save" file and start over. Not an issue, since this is the first patrol.

Second, we will know there is an even chance it's the mods themselves being installed after leaving port on the patrol.

I will report results.

if your loading saves you took before you added the mods that the problem start a patrol at base or a new game

Thanks, I'll do that. Here we are:
Fall of the rising sun v1.3
IJN Depth Charges Y Thrower Fix
IJN Akagi
Historical Prop rotation
Nisgeis_Range_Ring_and_Bearing
ParaB's fewer radio contacts
Ship pack 1
Pre Pearl Harbor campaign start
Crew Rank Fix
Eye Patch for 1.5

I've started "fresh" in the sim - new patrol - and so far everything seems to be going OK. One interesting glitch - in the sound pop-up panel, the sonar directional control instrument face - with the manual sonar head operation handle at the bottom of the screen - has an extremely blocky appearance to it, and a very rough finish overall. At the same time the handle's finish is smooth and problem-free.
