[WIP] Mega-Mod for SH5

[capviews]

Ok folks, some follow up on my saga.

I have purchased and properly installed and tested, with other games, a brand new video card, an ASUS GeForce GTX 460 Fermi DirectCU TOP 700MHZ 768MB GDDR5 Dual DVI Mini-HDMI PCI-E DX11, with outstanding results.

It replaces my old GeForce 9600 gt and still, i cannot get the navigational map to work out of Lorient without a ctd. I played historical missions on my old card without any problems. I even restarted a new career to test my old card and ran the Kiev canal, no problems.

It looks like as if, only in campain mode, out of the Lorient harbor do i seem to get this problem.

I am totally happy with my purchase, what an improvement overall but, so despaired over that particular problem.

I guess my only option is to restart a new career and hope i never get transfered to Lorient.

Hi folks,
i installed the MO-mod with patch 2 and the german conversion today and i got a weird bug:
I started the historical mission in narvik. starting on the bridge all looked good so far but when i decided to go inside the sub there is sea water inside of it, with waves and all. If i still go down the ladder the game will eventuelly freeze.
The stock version (1.2) works fine so far.
Does anyone know a solution?

cheers

Is there a fix for the Typ-VIIA and Typ-VIIB buoyancy issue's?

Using the Typ-VIIB, I set my depth to 95 meters and the boat just slips away and will continue down past Crush Depth.

Same thing happens using the Typ-VIIA but not as bad.

Or, should I just start Career using Typ-VIIC?

TDW fixed this problem already.

Here is the mod:

Thanks!

I figured I would give SH5 another try after enabling the 32 bit memory utilization adjustment to help prevent CTD issue's. It appears to have worked so far.

Now if my boat will hold depth...

The MegaMod is unavailable. Cannot download the file.

It said to try again later and I tried again about five hours later and it still didn't work. Is there another mirror?

I think the problem is that they renamed the source site from www.FileFront.com to www.GameFront.com.

Try going directly to TheDarkWraith GameFront Page.

I have a problem i hoped any of you guys have a solution to. When I'm at the base and want to request missions order i can see "total Germany" at the top left, and the small arrow under it, but when clicking i cant see the the available missions. Sometimes, if I click many times, the east cost of Britain missions appear, and i can choose that one. I have the STEAM version and have not pirated the game. Any ides?

when you are in base:

1 -hit escape
2- go to main menu
3- start a new campaign
4- choose skip tutorial
4- go and choose your mision

And thats how easy it was fixed. Thanks

Where might I find the info on this 32 bit untilization? I get tons of CTDs to the point where I just cant play.

Try this only if you have at least 2 GByte of RAM and at your own risk and using Vista/Win7 32 bit version.
First download the explorer from http://www.ntcore.com/exsuite.php
Next make a backup copy of SH5.exe. Then start "CFF Explorer" and open the orginal SH5.exe file.
Now go to NT Header/File Header and click File Header. There you will find a button labeld "click here". Click it and select the mark at "App can handle> 2gb adressest "
Save the modified EXE, overwrite the orginal one (You do have your backup of it in a safe location right?).
If you run Windows Vista 64 or Windows XP 64 or Win7 64 you're ready and didnt need to read on. The rest is only for Windows Vista 32/Win7 32 or maybe Windows XP.
Now make Windows Vista/Win7 (32-Bit) ready to support more than 2 GByte.
Open a command prompt with Administration rights. You find it under "Programs->Accessories->Command prompt" click right and select "run as administrator".
Enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 3072" (without quotes) in the command window and press enter.
After that restart windows

To reset back to 2GB limit:
to reset the Increased User Adressspace just start the commandline prompt with Admin right again and enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 2048"

See if the above helps at all

Another idea is to install previous version of DirectX ( < v11). I have Win7 64bit but ALWAYS install previous DirectX versions for compatibility reasons. Go to Microsoft's website and search for DirectX. Run the DirectX web installer from their website. You can have DirectX9 AND DirectX11 installed on Win7.

EDIT:

just checked the sh5.exe file and it's large address aware so enabling the 3GB switch in 32bit OSs should help:

Microsoft (R) COFF/PE Dumper Version 9.00.30729.01

Dump of file sh5.exe
PE signature found
File Type: EXECUTABLE IMAGE

0 number of symbols
E0 size of optional header
122 characteristics

Application can handle large (>2GB) addresses

Hi guys,

Okay I've been away from sh5 for about 3 months now, waiting for the Magnum Opus mega-mod to be released, so i wont have to have a nightmare with mixing and matching different mods all clashing against each other...so thanks appreciate your time and effort going into this mod to make all our lives a bit easier.. Okay so I have uninstalled ALL of the mods i had installed before, so the game is back to its original "stock".

So all I have to do is just use the "magnum opus" mod and the patch 2 that came with it, and install my preffered scope mod and thats it yeah? no other mods should really be needed because this includes the best ones right?

Only problem is how do I deactivate the steelvikings interior mod? I really dont want to, but that mod just kills my frame rate that i have to go from the highest graphic setting to the lowest graphic settings in order to be able to even move...haha can someone please tell me how to remove that mod?

Thanks,

Ren

Hi, TheDarkWraith.
I prepare "Loading_mod". I wish to make in one style "the Basic loading Screens". I think, it is necessary to co-ordinate with you loading Screens "МО"...
