Silent Hunter 4 And U-boat Missions On Steam!!

Zosxavius · 04-04-10, 08:15 AM

Anyone have luck with the following mod stack and a steam install?

TMO 1.9
TMO Patch 25012010
RSRD TMO v502
RSRD Vxxx Patch 1

Installed in that order?

Going to the museum results in a CTD with most of the ships being black. I've played through 5 patrols before I realized I had problems, and then I went and loaded up the museum and noticed most of the american ships were missing textures and then bam CTD. First of all the steam version is missing low res textures for a lot of the ships, though the high res ones are all there. Don't know if the DVD install is the same, but I suspect that the steam version might be missing some files. The strange part is that if I uninstall all mods the museum works with nary a CTD. Then if I install TMO it still works fine, so I know its not TMO causing the problem. I then uninstalled TMO and checked with steam and had it validate the install. It said that 400+ files were invalid and redownloaded those. I figured that the install might be ok, so I tried again with the same results. I'm asking here, because I'm sure some people are running steam with this modstack. If that is the case, go to the museum and tell me if all the ships have textures. In the meantime I'll reinstall SH4 (AGAIN!) and see if I can duplicate the results from a stock steam install. And yes, I am using the TMO RSRD.

Same issue with a clean reinstall. Grrr. Since I've read in about a dozen posts that the stack works with stock I have to assume something is wrong with the steam install out of the box. The case of missing textures is somewhat conspicuous. Its too bad. With stock TMO I ran into a bunch of planes but never saw ships on a few missions. That's why I started with RSRD, all in the name of increased realism as well. Seeing task forces and convoys come and go was pretty exciting all of a sudden, especially since they were historically there (for the most part). I think the last update on RSRD was for TMO 1.7. Running the two together without patches results in the same issues, so it seems to be the two cores. Can anyone else confirm this? I don't know why I seem to be the only one that has issues, or perhaps I am the first to try running Steam+TMO+RSRD.....

Thanks for any input..

Also I would post this on the RSRD thread....but it appears to be blank. Looks like subsim has some database issues....
