installing this made the orifginal dead mans switch unplayable

Here's a thing I haven't heard mentioned: I've been having some runner selection weirdness. Like the ONLY one available for the Telestrian break-in is Dodger weirdness.

Hey! great mod! but yeah i have the same problem as shrumedoktor.

Hi. Love the mod, but I'm not able to use the delta wired reflexes III cyberware in combat, although the build works in the trainer and all the other SSC cyber I've got works (medikit cyberarm, delta dermal III), and I see that Dr. Castle sells the DWRIII. Can anyone replicate that?

Hi there. I'm so sorry I missed your mod ! Our projects looks like similar, so I send you a friend invitation, maybe we could have a chat. Cya !

Nevermind, it's there now. Thanks anyways.

Unfortunately, that seems to be what Steam does when you download stuff. What do you get when you examine the download file?

Hey, I can't seem to get the .cpz file. All I get is a download file in the download folder and nothing in the referenced folder. Could ya check that out for me?

I really don't understand (other than not reading which campaign you're clicking on in the chooser menu) how anyone could mistake my files for the original campaign files. They are listed in the game choice menu as entirely different games, entirely different choices, and THERE IS NO WAY that my files can overwrite the official game files, because the game DOES NOT ALLOW THAT. When ANY UGC author creates a new UGC, the game creates a new folder to store the UGC files in, so that those files DO NOT AFFECT THE ORIGINAL GAME IN ANY WAY.

null6669, I am correcting you now. This file creates a SEPARATE FOLDER, that DOES NOT overwrite your original campaign files. If you look at your menu of games, you'll see that MY files are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from the original campaign. However, if you don't pay attention when you're choosing which campaign to play, you could end up playing mine INSTEAD OF the original, because the game's naming conventions suck like a Dyson.

ATTENTION ALL!!!! subscribing to this UGC seems to OVERWRITE OFFICIAL CAMPAIGN FILES (please correct me if i'm wrong)!!! The author doesn't explicitly state that fact, but that's what it appears to do (I don't remember having the option to import character in the official campaign!!!). To undo this, I had to uninstall SRR, reinstall, then remove/unsubscribe all "subscribed" UGC's under the "content" menu option in-game that relates to this UGC (actually not a big deal, but bad form overall). I greatly appreciate people creating UGCs and custom content, but in my opinion, it should NEVER affect official game files.

Just subscribed and crushed my game. Thanks for the idea of making, but well I can't even platy it at all. Even w/ all the steps. Maybe next time.

I really wish I had read the description before clicking subscribe. I didn't think any workshop content would affect the official campaign.. :(

Your instructions say to search for dead_man_switch_remodeled, but the .cpz file doesn't have underscores in the name, should say search for "deadmansswitchremodeled.cpz". Excelent work though, thank you very much!

Well I didn't read all the info before installing so all my games crashed, so many hours of game play lost, thanks for the thought but it crashing everything sucks pretty bad. If I can stand to go through all those steps now being frusterated I hope to see your content useful.

ah okay well as long as you remember then it is only a matter of annoyance :) rule of tumb for me is to only use those marked as install then I have no problem. but thanks for the fast answars and thanks for the mod right now I have not seen any bugs an it runs just as smooth as the main one :) if it is any consulation

Unfortunately, yes. I've run into that problem with every pack I've installed so I could use it as a resource. Until there's a way for the editor to see into the subscribed files without having to install them, it's going to be an ongoing source of confusion. (And it annoys the crap out of me, having to remember which file I'm using, too.)

Seeem to work perfectly now what ever the update did it seems to have fixs what was wrong with mine. one question though is it normal for it to register the contents to times ? one for install and one for subscribed ?

arh this time is seems to work, it even found the files I removed, however I am too tied to try it own and will run it sometime tomorrow :)

OK, Steam's definitely glitching if it can't even detect missing files when you run a verify. Here's hoping today's update to the client fixes that problem.

hmm nope even though I deleted several files it said all files is verify ? I have contacted steam support to see if they know a reason that verify local cach fail to locate 3 files

I will give it a try and see if it helps thanks for telling me this... I think I have tried it before with Skyrim when an Updated keep crashing.

@Whitemaner32: A trick I use sometimes when a Steam game fails as badly as this one is I'll delete some inconsequential file from the install directory, like readme.txt, and then force Steam to do a verify. 9 times out of 10 that's given Steam just enough of a kick in the seat to get it working again. The tenth time it's been so frakked up that only a full reinstall will fix it.

Arh yes I do know nexus most of my mod from X3tc and elderscrolls are from there :) though I am still not sure how much steam like adding those mods which is why I have not tried it yet.

hmm would it help try verify it again ? or should I wait awhile before trying workshop again...

@Whielmaner32 Sounds like that Workshop crash (the one that the HBS forums said was preventing them from uploading the updated version of Shadowrun Returns) messed up more than just this game's files. Good thing I use the Nexus whenever possible. If you already know about the Nexus, I highly recommend using it whenever you can. If you don't know about it, the backup link I've posted for this mod will take you there so you can check it out.

sorry for double posting. but I wanted to add this
this only seems to happen for me for workshop files from this game, and when I downloaded fallout 3, and had only started to happen in and around the last month of July and to now.

hmm no not me I have still not ben able to download you mod from the workshop yet in just start download a MegaByte or two then it stops freezes the download window and steam crashes.

An open question to people who are having trouble with this - or ANY - mods for this game:

Are you coming up with similar error or warning messages in the analysis files when the game crashes with a ugc pack? I'm asking becaue I've noticed that when my game crashes, it doesn't matter what the mod is it crashes on, the error and warning messages all seem to be very similar. It could be Life on a Limb, or Deep One or Cutting Edge or even the original campaign that came with the game, if my game crashes - and especially if it gives me corrupted files - I'm gtetting remarkably similar messages. The similarities are so close that I'm suspecting that it's not the mods that are the problem, it's the core code that the game runs on that's causing the trouble.

@draamal: I realized after I posted my question that it was one that a lot of people who are new to modding wouldn't understand, so I posted the explanation of how to find the analysis files in the game's description.

I don't even understand your question yinepuhotep. Sorry.

as for downloading a game yeah I had a little trouble when I install my last game I had to download two times and verify it once before it worked for me this was Fallout 3.

arh seems like steam could use a bughunt to be done on it for me it seems most workshop download work with 3 exceptions this one and two others for the game. the same for Skyrim some of the workshops does not download either however there is not trouble with my connection.

@Whilemaner32: Unfortunately, that's either Steam or the internet doing that to you. My bet is Steam. It's been having trouble with games in general ever since that major crash a couple weeks ago. (I'm still waiting for it to finish downloading a game I bought last week.)

@draamal: Is there anything unusual in the game's analysis files for any of the times you've subscribed?

@ShrumeDoktor: Never finishes loading Seamstress Union at all? Does it just sit there, or does it eventually crash out? Does the game show anything in the analysis file for that session that might give me anything I could ask on the HBS forums?

for some reason my download does not start even start it pauses after 2MB and then crashes afterwards.

All three times I've subscribed to this module it broke the game and corrupted all my save games.

I've started this campaign twice, and both times the first entrance to the Seamstresses Union, after viewing the murder scene, has failed to load. I've installed all the content packs to the indicated folders using the given names, but it has consistently stalled in the final stage of loading the map, with "Saving" in the corner. It appears to have saved the game, but stalls at ~90% completed everytime I try loading the game. I'm super stoked about the implementation of the SSC and really want to get this working. Any advice?

@thenenea: You've found one of the most common complaints abou tthe game. Whatever they did in that room when they created the game, that happens sooner or later to EVERYONE who goes into that room, including in the original game. It's even worse if you're playing a mage, for some reason. I remember the first time I played the game, using the official DMS campaign, I thought my game had broken, until I saw complaints on the forums about how badly that room responds.

I guess the mods ain't really the problem. I think it's shadowrun itself. Anyways. Thanks for noticing.
@thenenea: Your small issue has nothing to do with this mod. It's a little conflict in the normal shadowrun. I had this 2 or 3 times by now and from my experience there is only one way to fix it. As soon as you switch the area it should be fine.

Hi,
Small issue found during the first raid on Universal Brotherhood:
During the fight with the bugs there was about 5 seconds delay between the animation and the actual processed action and sound. Ex: Click on target to shoot, animation plays, wait 5-7s, Bang, damage is displayed.This only applied to my character, the rest of the team was fine. Other than that all was good, no saved games affected and autosave also works. Did the corp run as well with no ill effects. Now if only someone would balance the samurai catalog ...

@Anomaly: Ouch. Yeah, that looks just like what my save list looked like after I updated Life on a Limb from the old file to the new one. I wasn't able to recover from that one, either. Wish I knew why it happened, since if I had any idea why, I'd be able to help people recover from it.

Heya. Well, it didn't really work. I can't even go back to an older save. I uploaded a screenshot of the savegame list inside the game. as you can see i have only one save that got lucky. Since this is my main character it's not that bad anymore for me. Still it's like 30 hours of playtime that just got lost. But after all i still like your mod. I'm a modder myself and know that ♥♥♥♥ just happens. I usually avoid the steam workshop for my games. You should be able to get the screenshot in my profile.

@Anomaly: Would you try an experiment for me? Start up your game - any game - and wait for it to finish loading. Then click on your PDA, click the floppy disk button, and select "Load Game" on the page that opens. Does the game give you a list of your old saves when you click on the "Load Game" button? If it does, try loading one of your old saves and see what happens.

EVERY time I get an update to a pack that I've subscribed to, no matter what pack it is, ALL of my old saves disappear, until I load them from the "Load Game" button inside my PDA. The way HBS wrote the game, it thinks that any version of the pack that has a time stamp that's more recent than your save file is a new game, and your old saves get ignored whenever you start what the client thinks is a new game - unless you force the old save to load from the "Load Game" button INSIDE the game.

@Starbuck: Amazing that you were able to continue the campaign. I've seen comments from other versions of this pack that said that if they used the gun on the bugs in that first encounter, their game froze and they couldn't continue at all.

@yinepuhotep

I did shoot and killed the bugs (I initially thought that they were invulnerable), but it didn't prevent me from continuing the campaign ... it only stopped the recording of the autosaves (strange), and sometimes the intermission screen would freeze up

well, I'll try again without shooting with it

Hey. I don't know what just happened, but every single savegame related to this story is now completly destroyed. I'm really pissed off right now. So I got a single question. What the ♥♥♥♥ happened to my saves?

@Starbuck: You didn't USE the Aegis bug gun, did you? If you did, you're going to have to delete your save, or use the binary editor to remove the UB run from your save. The folks at HBS did not include any mechanism for people to shoot the bugs before they get the Aegis guns from Telestrian.
