Tks Fubar, I only have the required "NYGM Tonnage War Enhanced – Stand Alone Version" activated via JSGME in the SH3 root. And the two SH3 Cmdr, "Clouds Variety", and "Escorts Skins" activated via it's JSGME in the Sh3 Cmdr folder. As per the install instruc's, I activated the NYGM Tonnage War Enhanced – Stand Alone Version first, then went to the SH3 Cmdr folder JSGME, and installed it within the SH3 Commander folder, making sure those two mods there were activated.
However, one note. The old install you tube video for this, shows opening the SH3.exe after activating the NYGM Tonnage War Enhanced – Stand Alone Version in JSGME. Confirming the NYGM version, and that the program starts, and as a result activating the CFG folder. Which is needed to start a game via SH3 Cmdr. At least, prior loads of this require a SH3.exe start. I think that's what it's for, I've fooled around with this game so long now, I've forgotten 3/4 of what I ever learned. Anyway, with or without a SH3 start after activating the Enhanced NYGM stand alone, it still gives the same two errors (shutdown Windows error, and the single mission/career mission freeze).
But, the error that I also get shutting down the game from Windows happens even before I activate the SH3 Cmdr folder, and it's two mods. Just activating the NYGM Stand alone causes the shutdown error even with out SH3 Cmdr installed in it's folder with the two mods. So whatever it is, happens upon initial load of the NYGM Tonnage War Enhanced – Stand Alone Version, and gives a Windows error on shutdown even without playing the game, (single mission or career), just opening it, then shutting it down via game menu.
The freeze happens when I go ahead and attempt to run a single mission or career. The shutdown error happens upon initial activation of the NYGM Stand alone. It continues with or without the SH3 Cmdr's two mods activated.
I have nothing else in this but the "NYGM ENHANCED STEEL COFFIN EDITION V5.7z" files contained in the zip. (Or v4.4 files, same results). One more note. If I deactivate the SH3 Cmdr's two mods (clouds and escort skins), and deactivate the "NYGM Tonnage War Enhanced – Stand Alone Version", then open the sh3.exe, the game runs fine and no longer gives a shutdown error.
Oh and yes this is through multiple SH3 game deletions/clean reinstalls (about 12 times in all), using CC Cleaner to nix out any SH3 entries in the registry after every SH3 deletion.
This is killing me. This mod appears to be the pentacle of them all. Wouldn't ya know. Always got to be one in the crowd. Woe, is me.
