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.

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.

I take it that by 'ManosEnvironmentPro vX' you're just referring to any of the modes listed above and not a particulat mod called ManosEnvironmentPro vX?

I read the read me but it's not clear If I put the whole folder ie 'ManosEnvironmentPro v6' in the JGSME and move to column on the right or unpack specific folders within this to MODS folder ie 'M.E.P v6' and move that to right followed by other sensors etc?


Thanks,

Comp

Correct, "X" just means the version number.

Inside the ManosEnvironmentPro v6 folder is the main mod folder you move to the right in JSGME; it's called M.E.P. v6.

Then you would install any of the optional mods desired (I recommend the FSF (flat sun fix) and ShipsVanishingHull mods. See readme for install order and info.).

Then you would install the 20k visual sensor for the megamod listed if you're using one of those.
If not, ignore them. However, for the main MEP mod to work you need some 20k sensors from some where and it doesn't provide them on it's own. The readme does tell how to edit the sensor files one is using instead of those provided, but I'm not sure you're up for that.
I'd recommend only using the MEP mods with one of the megamods it has sensor files for.

The Stiebler folder is if you're using his patch too. If not, ignore it.
