Steam and 6.0

[AaronJBC]

Hi, I recently installed Kingdoms from Steam, this morning, and installed SS. I change the launch command to @Stainless_Steel_Kingdoms.cfg, I get to the first loading screen, see it for half a second, then it crashes and gives me the general Kingdoms has encountered an error and must close.

I've run SS 5.1 and Broken Crescent and other mods just fine with Steam, but cant get 6.0 to run

Any suggestions? Even if its common sense, I probably havent done it.

[Erlinggra]

have you uninstalled ss 5.1?

[AaronJBC]

Yes, completely fresh install.

[Erlinggra]

try lunching from the ss exe.

or try to reinstall

[AaronJBC]

Tried both, uninstalled and reinstalled everything twice, tried launching from everything.

Strangely enough I have found that with 6.0 I need to exit steam and then start SS using the desktop icon. If steam is open it crashes to desktop after selecting SS in the startup. I did not need to do that in 5.1.

Give it a try and see if it helps.

[AaronJBC]

Erm, I exit steam and click directly on SS but it just opens Steam up anyways, then the game. Doesnt help, thanks though.

What does your folder look like? Is SS installed in mods/stainlesssteel

Did you move the Stainless_Steel_Kingdoms.cfg to the main directory?

[the_doc]

Unfortunately I am at work now, so I don't have the link in front of me. Bear with me for 5.1, someone on this forum wrote a script to add SS is to the registry. Worked great, when 6.0 came along I went into the registry and edited that entry to point to the new directory (stainlesssteal_6 I believe). And also changed the version in the registry to 6.0. I understand the steam starts automatically when you run the program. What I am saying is that for what ever reason when I want to run SS I have to make sure that steam is NOT running before I click on the desktop icon, steam stays running even when you exit a program running it, in fact the default settings starts steam up when you boot your computer. Make sure it is not in the system tray when you start SS.

Again I totally understand that it makes no sense why steam can not be running before I start SS, it was really only trial and error that I figured it out. :hmmm:

Good luck and if I can find it tonight I will get the link for the registry edit.

I know about the reg edit. It seems like the mod folder was Stainless_Steel_6 rather than just Stainless_Steel, so I changed the cfg fail to be without the 6 and the mod folder without the 6, and it seems to work now.
