WTF - Cannont load save game?

kverdon · 01-16-08, 02:46 AM

Alright I'm just a bit Peeved. I've had 2 careers go down the toilet now. I save the game multiple times while on patrol but when I try to reload any of the saves outside the initial leaving port game, SH4 crashes. Please, Please don't tell me the only time you can save the game and be able to reload is in port!. There is NO WAY I'll ever be able to complete a patrol in a single session. I'm running RFB, RSRD, A HUD mod, the sound effects V8 and "Depth charges in the water".

Edit: Ok, I disabled all mods but RFB and RSRD and The new Gato Interior Mod and started yet another career. I've been able to save and load in the patrol zone but I've not sunk anything yet. This corrupted save thing is rather frustrating.

Did you install any mods during your previous careers? If you did, this is probably why those save games won't load.

That is what I am thinking as well, you can get away with some graphic type mods not being in port, but just to be on the safe side, be in port when activating,
de-activating stuff. Also, make sure all of your mods are 1.4 compatible, and what you have installed are not conflicting with one another.

Both previous posters are right. In addition to that you must start a new career after installing RSRDC. Upgrading from one RSRDC version to another is ok without uninstalling(though you must be at port while doing that).

Ok, here is what I did.

The first career I started with RFB,RSRD and couple of HUD and Sound mods loaded. I started the patrol, sank 3 ships, saving the game numerous times. I took a break and came back a few nights later. I installed the new Gato Graphis mod and tried to load one of my save games. None would load SH4 crashed each time. I then uninstalled the gato graphics mod and tried to load the save games. Same problem, each crashed.

At this point I reloaded the Gato Graphics mod and started a NEW career. Again I made it to the patrol zone and sank 2 ships, saving about 5 times. I took a break and came back a few hours later and tried to load my save games. Same thing, each crashed. I had not changed a thing. VERY frustrating

I then uninstalled ALL mods and just re-installed RFB,RSRD and the Gato Graphics Mod. I started a NEW career and sailed to the patrol zone. I've saved a few times and been able to reload without the game crashing. One of the other mods must have done something to made saving the game ourside of port not possible.

I'll try this for a bit and see what happens.
