[TEC] Problem with installing OperationMonsun

CaptBones · 05-27-17, 01:56 PM

What are your system specs; what OS are you using?

The OM package you're installing adds a huge number of ships, aircraft and other stuff to the game...do you have enough RAM and hard-drive storage memory to deal with it? Even so, the OM MOD support documentation carries warning notes about the Museum...it will CTD for several reasons.

If you have a 64-bit OS you should also install the 4-GB patch (or is it the "Large Address Aware" patch?) to allow the game to function better on your system. That sometimes makes it possible to get into the Museum...and sometimes not.

If you provide a little more information, someone who knows a lot more about these things than I do, will come along to help you solve the problems.

Win7 64bit, 16GB RAM, good processor/grafic card, 600GB free storage.

What patch do you mean, can you tell me more about it?

Btw. the LAA sounds obvious, I used it for other games too.
How should I continue in this case? I changed/modded a lot of other games or even did own custom things, its the first time I fail in such an easy thing haha

CapnScurvy has a really good write-up on it - makes a world of difference on getting the museum to run in Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate.

AFAIK, your system and OS should be able to run SH4/OM smoothly.

Look for the 4GB patch in the Downloads section under SH4 Game Patches.

Although the description says it is for Win XP, it's really for enabling the SH game engine (or any other "old" programs built for 32bit OS) to use up to 4GB of system RAM, if I remember the discussions here correctly. I don't know if it can be/should be used along with LAA; I use it for both SH3 and SH4 and it seems to work well in smoothing out some of the problems related to things like size of content/number of files in the SEA folders from several of the "mega MODs" available.

BTW, even though I have a similar system and the same OS, I still have problems opening the SH4/OM Museum from time to time.

Maybe someone else with more expertise will come along to help.

What did I tell ya'? Someone with more expertise...

Use the link propbeanie provided or go directly to the SH4 forum and follow CapnScurvy's guidance and you should be "good to go".
