Meloo Fix responsible for CTD (?)

[Mitsmann]

Good evening all

it seems i have the same issue with thread starter, and i m fighting hours through different topics to find a solution.

The issue is as thread starter's :

I have installed S.S.4 successfully and i have also installed 1.27 bugfix.
I m trying to run the mod on a laptop with windows 10, and GTX1060.

Every time, Stainless Steel is launching, no issues, i can see the initial options screen and change any options i want (video, audio, game settings etc).
Afterwards i choose to start a campaign, I can set any campaign setting I want (choose a faction, set difficulty, etc), i click Start, the loading screen for campaign is seen and loading, and when the loading bar (the sword) is fully loaded, the game is CTD every time.

I ve tried compatibility set to windows XP, windows 7, windows 8 and no compatibility, no effect, game still CTD.
I ve disabled UAC on my laptop, no effect, game still CTD
I ve check my nvidia settings to verify correctly that the game is handled by graphics card and not on board graphics, no effect, game still CTD.

to make things even more confused to me about the CTD reason, i happen to be an old and dedicated player of Stainless Steel and for this reason i had the game both on steam version (definitive edition) and on DVD version (M2TW - Gold Edition).
I ve tried both installations (also using the fixes for Steam edition) but the result is always the exact same. Game is CTD when campaign map is ready to appear.

at the same time all battles from game options (custom battle, random battle) are also CTD with unspecified error message pop up.

throughout the years i ve played S.S.6.4 on a desktop with win7, a laptop with win 7 and a laptop with win8.1
it might be something on this system (i ve never installed the game here before) but i really dont know what can be and by searching the forums for CTD issues, i cant find a solution that havent yet tried.


If any one can help it will be great.
thank you!

Hello,

please read the quoted post by me, in another topic.

I have used many "solutions" combinations without success.
until i ve done the simple thing of trying S.S.6.4 WITHOUT Meloo Fix for S.S.6.4
and the game worked perfectly.

i tried then, to install again Meloo Fix and the CTD issue reappeared, again the game cant start any campaign and is CTD.

So i m positive now that for some reason (i cant tell why) Meloo fix is responsible for CTD at least in my system.
Has anyone else observed this?

and if a solution is available i would like to know, it seems weird to me also that a bugfix causes the continuous CTD issues.

Thank you

In all the previous systems i have played the game, it was without meloo fix. this is the only time i tried installing it along with 6.4

I've recently played SS6.4 with the meloo fix and it installed and played OK.

Can you post the log file (or the last 20 lines) so we can see if there's any new issue that has come up since the fix was issued.
