i think the settings.dat is a unique file specific for the user's computer more specifically the video card. found this out when i tried using the settings inlcuded in the patch. the game loaded and ran into all the game menus but when i tried playing, the game crashed. re-tried playing again but the same thing happened. tried playing using my original settings and the game ran well.
what group did you find the original detail settings in?
jlit: made a back-up copy of my original settings located in my saves folder before i installed the settings included in the patch. when the crash bug occured i just reverted to my orig settings.
its always important to make back up copies of whatever data you may overwrite so if in case something goes wrong, you have something to revert back to.
if the crash bug still occurs, try re-installing your game with a FRESH sgsm folder then do the following:
1. install the required patches (ILT, 1x or 2x shoes patch and IRPT roster)
2. install the 1.2 / 1.21 roster patch
3. install ONLY THESE FIRST
4. try running the game
if the game plays ok without the crashes, then add all the other patches you want ONE BY ONE so you could test wether the last patch you installed made your game crash or not. if it crashed, then the last patch you put in has errors in it or has conflicts with your current set-up so it would be wise if you would avoid installing it further.
this is what i did for my system and it helped me play with the patch without errors or crashes.
hope this helps you out.
thanks!
