Omegu CTD loading "save-game"

mgkaro · 04-26-11, 04:23 PM

Hi all,

I´m running "Opsmonsun v705", "omv705 to 720" and "omv720 patch 5" on a fresh 1.5 install. I am able to save my game and load it without a hitch. But when I add omegu v300, loading a freshly saved game will cause a ctd. Activating the "v300 patch 7" doesn´t change anything.

I reinstalled sh4 twice now, and activated the mods one by one in the correct order: To no avail. The crash report mentions "msvcr71.dll". I therefore copied the file in its pre-omegu stage, and pasted it back post-omegu, but that also didnt work (thinking omegu messes with the file in some way).

I was hesitant to open a thread for it, but I never received a reply to a question I had asked in the omegu thread, so I am thinking this might be the best way. I would appreciate any help! Thanks!

If I read your post correctly, then the save you try to load is from before enabling OMEGU? That I'm fairly sure of is a no-go...

Besides that guess, I'm blank

Hi,

I am aware that loading a save game that was saved pre-OMEGU is bound to not work with OMEGU.
But in my case:

1. I activate OMEGU,
2. start the game,
3. start a single mission for eg.
4. I save the game after a few moments
5. I load it again
6. CTD

I just downloaded the files again, but it still crashes on me..

I know from other users, that OM puts a lot of strain on the machinery.

Perhaps your hardware is not up to the task when adding the very big add-on OMEGU?

What are your machine specs?

Hi there,

These are my system specs:
Intel DP35DP
E6850 C2D 3Ghz
Gtx260 (216) SC (700/1509)
4gigs Ram
Win7 64
I seriously doubt that it´s got something to do with that. After all, I always play with graphs maxed-out with no noticeable fps drops, and alt-tab all day long and the reaction is instantaneous.
Thx for the suggestion though.

Nono - equipment looks fine!

But being blank won't prevent me from guessing!

Your machinery is fine, your load order is correct - all I can come up with now is to delete the documents\SH4 folder...
Or better - use MultiSH4 and make your OM installation use something like OM4 or SHO as folder for saves.

Then start a new career and run some tests...
