So I cannot get this excellent mod to run on my newish Windows 8 machine. I have a merged install containing SF2:V, SF2:NA, SF2:I and SF2:E. All are running the July 2013 patch. I've installed all the mod subfolders into the proper "mod" folder in user/save games/Thirdwire/SF:V. I've checked the options.ini and its pointing to the correct folder. when I run SF2:V, I still just get vanilla SF2:V. It is not picking up and running the mod. Any tips? I thought maybe the July 2013 patch required me to install the the Sept 2013 update to the mod, but since I do not have SF2, I am unable to do that...

Thanks in advance.

Try over at CombatACE for some help too. A lot of folks there really know the ins and outs of the series. Sorry I can't be a help otherwise.

Based on what you're describing, you don't have it installed correctly. Can you post some screen shots that show the directories and folder structures?

Hey guys. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I did post at combatACE and eburger dropped in to help out. I was able to get the mod working but I'm not entirely sure what the problem was.

I fixed it by deleting everything and uninstalling my entire SF2 library. I then re-installed vanilla SF2, Vietnam and Europe. This time I did not install Israel or North Atlantic. I then installed the mod the same way I've done in the past and it worked this time. So, I can only surmise that the problem either had something to do with an improperly merged SF2, or something having to do with the Israel and/or North Atlantic installations.

Anyway, I'm airborne and dropping bombs over North Vietnam. Thats all that matters now!
