I got a problem here guys, it's probably my system's fault but it came out while installing the patch so I'm gonna post it here:
While installing the ODS patch, all of a sudden my HDD started making some wild sounds (like the infamous clic of death) and I had to reboot manually.
After a consistent number of these abrupt stops, I managed to install the patch by manually copying the required files in multiple attempts (e.g. first weapons decals and groundobjects, then UI and everything else, then aircraft from letter A to E...that sorta things) and succesfully merging the GUNDATA and WEAPONDATA. Now the patch sits in my install but the game won't work: when I start a campaign or even select single mission in the main screen, the game just goes to a black screen with the same old wild sounds coming from the HDD, and there's nothing I can do but to reboot via the power button.. Based on my experiences, I can deduce it's an HDD data access problem, but the funny thing is that everything else I have in that partition works just fine, it's a WOE problem only.
I should add that this is my only WOE install, an enormous merge of various mods that always proved to work fine, even when I added ODS to it.
Anybody knows if there's a way out of this issue, or anybody had any similar problems with the ODS patch?
Thanks in advance for your time, guys!
Hope to get this thing sorted out, I feels just painful...
