"It seems that I can play a non-simultaneous game. It is just the simultaneous game that grinds my pc to a halt."

Definitely looks like some bug. Probably SE4 and your hardware don't like each other. What kind of PC do you have?

I'm really sorry about this, you seem to be one of the few people having major issues with SE4 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Well, this leaves me quite clueless, too. As far as I can tell you have done everything right. Very strange indeed. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Wait a minute, is it possible that you downloaded Version 3 instead of Version 2 from the board? To verify this, have a look at the "Readme - TDM Mod Pack.txt" in your TDM-folder. It is the topmost inormation.

Mephisto + Phoenix-D + Deathstalker -

I am back at it.

The TDM is 2.0, per the ReadMe.

I think I have puzzled out the Darlok thing. The TDM Race pix did NOT have Darlok bmps. However, the correct bmp files for Darloks had been installed by the TDM into the original SEIV Darlok Race pictures file. I suspect the TDM path could not see them - any of them.

Having, with great trepidation, moved them into the TDM folders, I shall try again.


****** I seem to have had success! Will now try a Simulataneous. The game set up fast, unlike Last night. *******

That sounds very good! Make sure to not only move the bmp files but all the txt files, too. Have fun!
