I'm constantly getting sound drops- what do I need to do to alleviate this?

This mod is freaking great and keeps getting better.

Also now the tank combat and anti-tank weapons seems spot on. (I used to struggle to bring down Mk IV's for some arbitrary reason).

RackemRanger @ Thief Gold HD Texture Mod

You know what? Disregard that, it seems to happen in the vanilla version of Thief Gold as well after some testing. Must just be some kind of scripted dialogue error, as about 7 out of 10 times when you start that mission Garret mentions something about the guards at the front gate of the manor. Oh well.

RackemRanger @ Thief Gold HD Texture Mod

Hey mod author, for one, fantastic freaking mod. However, I'm having issues:

Installed Tfix 1.18, then enhancement pack 2.0 and even the enhanced sound pack- all of Garret's speech is normal, as in where at the beginning of the first mission he says "Looks like a few too many to get by.." When I install the HD mod a lot of Garret's dialogue simply disappears, as in he literally doesn't say a thing until the first loot you steal on the first mission of the game. I've tried a clean install, I've tried just the HD mod over Tfix 1.18 and I get the same result.. missing dialogue from Garrett. I even tried disabling EAX/ OpenAL and I still had the same result. I have no idea why everything is fine just before I install the HD mod. Is there anything I'm missing? I don't see how this mod would affect missing sounds as it is a texture replacer/ overhaul with extended graphics features. It should have no effect on the audio. Any help would be appreciated greatly. Or perhaps if others have had the same issue, they might lend a bit of advice.

RackemRanger @ Thief Gold HD Texture Mod

I tried downloading the enhancement 2.0 mod from: Docs.google.com but it just keeps timing out right at 99% completion on the download (several times now actually). I'm just gonna go ahead and download this HD mod instead, I'm sure it has everything I need right? I mean I'm reading through pages with links, mirrors- several dozen different forum pages all with different fixes, addons, mods and what have you, so I'll admit it- I played thief 1 back around 2000 and I had no idea (in the last 10 years at least) that their were people working this hard on making a game from 1998 so much better. Of course I still have a legacy desktop in-case I feel the need to play Thief 1 or 2 at 640x480 with no mods lol.

RackemRanger @ Thief Gold HD Texture Mod

Hey guys, what's the difference between the Enhancement mod: Ttlg.com and the HD mod? I already have Tfix1.18g, but do even need the enhancement mod or should I just install this HD mod instead?

RackemRanger @ Company of Heroes: Eastern Front

I was glad tank hunters were taken out. Absolutely the most ridiculous unit on the field for the Soviets. I'm glad a lot got changed, the Soviets are much better now. You can however, still spam Ingenery squads and bury early game Panzer Elite which is just hilarious.

I'll play with you though. I play with just about anyone. I don't even have specific map settings- I just play the mod more often than vanilla. Ostheer is what this mod needed and they did really damn well putting it together.

Too many people still play vanilla. Which unsurprisingly- is unbalanced as all get out. What really drives me nuts is the fact that the community is made up of some seriously rude people that barely even chat in game, their just looking to bolster their win numbers and kick out low levels. Makes it near impossible for new players to feel welcome.

If you join the steam group their are definitely people still playing it. That's kind of like saying: "Company of heroes is too old for anyone to make mods for."

Come on man.

You are playing on Grand Offensive mode- that allows you uncapped units on both sides.

For the re-release of Company of heroes is the mod compatible enough for the time being?

Are you going to update the mod again someday?

I played this 2 years ago and loved it.

(I already read this bit)

Note: being able to run vCoH or other mods at max setting does not mean that your computer will be able to do the same with TGW1918! Most other mods just re-use Relic's models, which are notably lower poly and more optimized than ours.

I've been running the game on uber low- uber high- medium- it makes no difference. I still get these bizarre crashes.

I've been perusing the forum but can't find a solution to my problem, which leads me to believe that it is either driver-based issue (which is pretty cray cray but possible). Otherwise a clean install? Plus just the one mod? Still the same crash occurring? I'm skeptical.

Looks like all it needed was a clean install!

I guess I'll probably be taking a look at what other mod could've been screwing around with this mods compatibility in the Company of heroes directory.

Surprisingly I've played through whole Grand offensive matches 2v2 on "high" settings with no crashes about 3 times. So its just an odd thing to suddenly crash for no reason.

Haven't run into anything like that I don't believe, but I've timed it and it tends to be about 15 to 20 minutes into a match. Sometimes nothing is even happening actually.

Theirs also a youtube user who was talking about and promoting the mod and mentioned the exact same issue, critical error/ instant game crash. He says it caused him to just stop playing the mod for the time being. I eagerly await the next version, I still think this mod is freaking amazing.

I don't know what to tell you.

Hardware wise the only mod that basically says:

YOU CAN'T RUN THE GAME LIKE ITS COMPANY OF HEROES VANILLA

Would be something like European theater '44 and here its like, no real slow downs and the game will just crash completely. Do other mods bug this mod? I'm about to just re-install this mod alone to see if that fixes my problem.

So basically I've narrowed it down to:

A. All graphics as low as possible

Produces crash mid way into most games.
or

B. Graphics on mid-high to high and even ultra

Produces crash mid way into most games.

I really hope whatever causes this weird crash is fixed, otherwise the mod is hardly playable and I'm really thoroughly enjoying it.

I tried a clean install of company of heroes on steam- its the re-release version of COH so I really don't think that would be an issue.

I've reproduced this error on about 20 matches so far with different settings on/ off.

This mod is fantastic, but I've tested it for about 3 days now and I've noticed that skirmishes often crash. Not sure what's doing it as I've never had any other mods besides Eastern front crash for no reason. Beside that one issue in Eastern front being fixed by now, I can't understand why about 15-20 minutes into a skirmish the game just takes a crap and produces an error report to send to relic. This happens about 65% of the time I've played a match with just the AI.
