I find a solution for the loading issue of The Estate stage. Try the following steps.

1. Unsubscribe the mod.
Don't bother finding UGC. I remove every UGC file but the problem persists.

2. Use another computer to install the game.

3. Launch the game and load the stage on the new computer.
Be sure you haven't used mod on second computer. You should be able to load the stage now.

4. Once successfully load the stage and enter it, save anytime you want in the stage.

5. Mow you can go back to the first computer and successfully load the save inside the stage.

You may subscribe the mod again . Once you successfully enter the stage, the issue of loading stuck is fixed. But it's pointless to resubscribe the mod because all the mod items (e.g. magic tattoo) will not work since the stage.

My guess is that the mod is not compatible with the game starting from The Estate stage. It may be the cause of the loading issue.

Hope this will help!

Ah U must restart the game again and try to remove it. if not try reinstalling. Ik one of these worked when I tried
Gabriel 28 Apr, 2017 @ 5:28pm 
yes, all 4 are off, and the option to play in the contents takes me back to the main menu. when trying to remove the custom though i´m getting an error message, unable to remove
FULLMEATALVAPIRE 28 Apr, 2017 @ 3:23pm 
Try going to content and the first few should be The orginal game and an option to play. Also did u make sure all 4 were off?
Gabriel 28 Apr, 2017 @ 12:52pm 
I was able to delete it in-game. but in new game it stull shows as custom and says i am using modified content when i try to launch the campaign

The game tends to bug out a bit when adding/removeing mods. Download the mod again and remove it in-game by going to "Content" and finding the Custom version (this one). Then unsubscribe In-game (not here). After that, restart the game and do it again but it should either be gone or give an option to remove/delete permanetly

I found dead mans switch and a seatle folder in the documents folder, i deleted it, but still shows in the game.

The other locations are:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Harebrained Schemes\Shadowrun Returns\ContentPacks
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Shadowrun Returns\ContentPacks

It's also possible it could also be in the game's folder itself, though I'd be a little surprised if that were the case:
<Steam library path>\steamapps\common\Shadowrun Returns\Shadowrun_Data\StreamingAssets\ContentPacks

While I do have this game on steam, I have been using my GOG copy so I can't be sure where the workshop is installing things.
This game unfortunately has far too many locations where content packs can be installed :(
Gabriel 27 Apr, 2017 @ 10:22pm 
thats wierd, its not there, only one mod is there, but i have many active

Assuming a default steam install location, check the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<unique number>\234650\ folder, there are two subfolders in my case, "local" and "remote".

"local" contains a subfolder "ugc" which contains a subfolder which is a number, I don't know if this is unique or not but in my case it is "205626014", within this folder is yet another subfolder, "contentpacks" which contains downloaded content packs. (full path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<unique number>\234650\local\ugc\205626014\contentpacks)

This is where the Shadowrun gamepedia wiki states subscribed content is downloaded to.

In my case, the "remote" folder has a subfolder "contentpacks" which appears to contain downloaded content packs as well. (full path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<unique number>\234650\remote\contentpacks)

There are other locations as well where content packs can be, however I do not believe Steam installs subscribed content to those locations.

it gets stuck in the load screen the first time i try to enter the seamstress union. i even unsubscribed but it didnt seem to work, even to start a new game still shows as custom. how do i delete it from my game?
ibutsu  [author] 26 Apr, 2017 @ 5:57pm 
Oh, I just remembered that I may have readded the eye slot magical tattoos in the hope that the updates to the magical tattoos mod corrected the hangs the original author reported with them. This may be the cause of the hang at the estate level. At the very least, this gives me a starting point for fixing that bug.
ibutsu  [author] 26 Apr, 2017 @ 5:53pm 
I'll see if I can get this fixed. When I reimplemented it, I did not have save files at the correct locations to properly test the issues reported with the original mod (and now this one, hence my warning about minimal testing). I was somewhat hoping the issues were due to updates in the game itself (which is why I reimplemented it by hand, from a fresh copy vs trying to update the original mod), but that does not seem to be the case. I will need to play through to those points in the game before I can start testing though (couldn't get the editor based way to work) and I have been fairly swamped with work so I am not sure when I will be able to get to it. If anyone is willing to share their saves, I can probably get to it sooner. Most of my changes were minimal, fixing the odd bug here and there. I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much interest in this particular mod with the newer games having been released.

Welcome
Gabriel 24 Apr, 2017 @ 4:54pm 
ah ok, so it replaces the original. thanx
FULLMEATALVAPIRE 24 Apr, 2017 @ 4:28pm 
In New Game should say say Dead Mans Switch (custom) as well can be found in content. If u can't find make sure u have all 4 installed and if it's still not showing unsubscribe then try subscribe all of these
Gabriel 23 Apr, 2017 @ 8:22pm 
but does it show as diferent mod in new game? because i dont see it
FULLMEATALVAPIRE 23 Apr, 2017 @ 9:38am 
It's another mod with the same story but stops at The Estate in which u have to take off the mod and play normal from there or start from the beginning with the current charater and keep lvling it up even more and get more nyuen. It adds a bit of extra stuff with the the cybertech and tattoos, although if u wanna play thru the entire thing be careful u don't buy much cyberware/tattoos as some of it is part of the mod
Gabriel 23 Apr, 2017 @ 7:31am 
does it change the base game? or is another mod with the same story? if it is supposed to be another mod it isnt showing on new game
FULLMEATALVAPIRE 29 Mar, 2017 @ 6:31am 
Well if u read the description it's supposed to help add stuff but it will only work up until U get inside the estate. Once there u have to play the normal game without mods.

Reimplemented version of "The Dead Mans Switch Custom Version" by dreamtourist.
What is "The Dead Mans Switch Custom Version" ?
joshuashua 28 Mar, 2017 @ 5:18pm

FULLMEATALVAPIRE 6 Mar, 2017 @ 6:01pm 
So will this ever get fixed or?
Whion 10 Feb, 2017 @ 10:48pm 
I'm experiencing the same issues mentioned here; Won't load "The Estate" and the SSC cyberware doesn't show up.
Baesty 8 Feb, 2017 @ 9:13pm 
Same as the others, stops mid-load on The Estate.
Omega 5 Jan, 2017 @ 8:10am 
Same issue here, I can't load "The Estate" Level.
So, only 32 characters eh? Fine. 29 Dec, 2016 @ 1:53pm 
Stops mid-load on "The Estate" for me as well.
Totonori 27 Dec, 2016 @ 6:30pm 
Same problem as Peregrinus, "The Estate" stops mid-load. Most likely bugged.
gibangous 18 Dec, 2016 @ 8:37pm 
It's worked well for me, except I had the same thing happen as Peregrinus when it split the doctor's cybertech menu into the separate categories (after the "Beneath the Brotherhood" mission). The only menu unaffected was the original "Cybertech" menu. The new ones are all empty.
TM 10 Dec, 2016 @ 4:10pm 
Mod stops mid load in "The Estate" and the SSC gear show up empty.
