yeah, that could very well be the german patch. this should not break any significant functionality, but can prevent some hires textures from being displayed (as the game will load the lowres german ones with highest priority). the shock2.gam in the root folder will cause issues when ADaoB is installed though - in that case, the shock2.gam in the root should be renamed or deleted.

ok, so now we actually don't know whether the DataPermMods and DataTempMods folders were present in the default steam install (steam posts suggest that they are). it would be quite helpful if you could create a fresh steam install to confirm this.

Ok, this is CLEAR install of the game, I did not even run the game once. These are the exact files that steam will install, or what my computer will do automatically when viewing folder (as it may create some cache files or something ..)

thanks. definitely an ss2tool install. any chance you could zip the crf files in your root folder and upload them somewhere (sendspace or whatever)? these:

Code:
02.06.2011  16:11            24.729 iface.crf
02.06.2011  16:11             5.551 intrface.crf
02.06.2011  16:11           186.490 mesh.crf
02.06.2011  16:11            20.513 obj.crf
02.06.2011  16:11           117.674 strings.crfthey should be really small, so it shouldn't be a problem - would really like to know what is in there. if it's what I think it is, then the steam install is actually partially borked straight out of the box.

thanks again - and confirming, the steam release is officially botched straight out of the box. to hotfix this;

-kill all *.crf files in root (only leave patch_ext.crf)
-kill all *.dml files in root (make sure the files are present in /misdml first)
-kill shock2.gam in root (make sure the file is present in /Data first, if not, move it there instead of deleting)
-kill allobj.osm in root (make sure the file is present in /Data first, if not, move it there instead of deleting)
-kill patch_ext in Data/res (if present)

this is not necessary if you don't plan to install mods (but you apparently do).
