[REL] Knights of the Sea Depths II: Ace Edition

Tinman · 02-08-22, 07:42 AM

Hello, Niume!
Just stumbled across this mod, downloaded and installed. I got into SH4 only recently so I'm a bit lost as to why the game would not start, at all. Tried some compatibility options but no success...
I'd be grateuful for any help and sorry if this has been asked before...
Regards, Jure

Hi, did you installed the mod into separate folder from your existing SH4 folder? The modpack doesn't need base game. It has everything included. So just point the installer where you want it to be for example

D:\KSDII_Ace_Edition

Hello, thanks for a quick reply.
Yes, I installed into c:\KSD... to avoid program files folder.
I also ran large adress aware and patched sh4.exe, also gave admin permissions as one knowlegeable member suggested a couple posts back..
Klicking on sh4.exe should start the game, but nothing happens. Can't even say I have a CTD as

the game doesn't start at all.
Any help would be appreciated

Regards, Jure

Hello,

Just installed this mod a couple of days ago and all is fine. Did you delete or rename your SH4 documents folder using MultiSh4 depending if you are running this mod stand alone or more than one SH4 install.

@Dieselglock:
I deleted all instances of SH4 in My Documents prior to installing this mod via the installer. Now I ran Multish4 and it made a new KSD folder inside My Docs. Game still does not start...

@Niume:
Yes, did that. Also tried with compatibility (win xp SP2 & 3, Win 7) & admin priviliges. None helps.

Possibility... that you got a bum or corrupted download... either in the installer download... or a bad breakdown install from the installer. Rare, but... it can happen.

Is obvious, something is not right, as after d/l'ing the installer, unzipping that... then telling it where to install KSD II: Ace, it should be playing... if you followed the layout, I outlined on making sure to not try & install over a virgin copy of SH4 &... of not going default install location of either of Window's "program file" locations...

Is the only thing that I can think of...

Only other thing I can suggest, is... to redownload the installer, then reunzip it. Followed up with running it to set up the game... & follow the outline as before.

Hopefully with this time... will not have gotten a bum download or install from the installer.

Hope this helps...

in Sh4.exe properties compatibility tab check the box which says Disable fullscreen optimizations
