benji:
I am really happy you figured this out. I hope you learned something, You have to read All of the instructions. Not like me, I did not do number 5(see below) then I complained that I had low fps...
not good.
Now, lets practice some Safe Modding
Rule 1.) Make a Backup of the game somewhere safe. Copy the game to a folder named for example "L2 backups"
2.)
Did you do the following? If not, see page one again.
FIXES AND EDITS
The odd thing might still crop up, this is the place for some simple edits, fixes and tune-up tips:
1) FOLDER: ...#DBW/_0_0GearDamageFX V 1.3 - delete the following class file: F5F37ACE5B99838E (defective).
2) FOLDER: ...#DBW/!_0_0TigersSOUNDSforDBW - RENAME TO - +0000_TigersSOUNDSforDBW for 3do improvements and fixes.
3) FOLDER: ...#DBW/_Fix Cowling Engines & Prop Yak´s Spinners/Yak-3_VK107(Multi1) - delete the following files: gear2.mat - GearC1_D0.msh - GearL1_D0.msh - GearR1_D0.msh.
4) FOLDER: ...#DBW/#DBW/_Fix Cowling Engines & Prop D3A - disable or delete this folder for 3D Mesh Fix.
5) texcompress=2: In your CONF.INI, be sure to check this line: texcompress=2. Switching it to lower values will adversely affect performance. Make sure you use it to avoid the dreaded slide show.
Let me know how it goes. I would not mess with any new mods till you know the game is stable.
