the mod-mix issue we (you) discovered and discussed earlier in this career. i did not want to make fundamental changes mid-career so i am saving that for the next time.

silent running returned the next day after i saved, exited, and restarted, which makes this issue look/taste/smell like an unexpected Ubisoft feature.

thanks for confirming.

Happy Christmas to you and yours in Southhampton!

mark bonamer, what we have found in the game in general is that the use of Time Compression really messes with the whole spectrum of game aspects, from sound to graphics, and everything in between. The game does not consistently restore sound, graphics or even menu functionality sometimes, having troubles, such as "drawing" all of a ship, or even the "landscape" of a nearby island.

Some of the older versions of the game had a 2048x TC max setting, which is why that was chosen in the FotRSU mod. Even that is too high in certain aspects, especially when you're traveling along and encounter a surface ship by "sight" (such as an S-18 boat without radar, or a newer boat without radar traveling at Ahead Full or higher), which can happen rather easily at night. This is why sometimes when you come out of a high TC, you don't hear the crew, but only the ocean background noise and the internal ambience. As you've found, Save the game, exit the whole thing, and then re-enter and you're usually OK - so long as the "Save" works...

Of course, "shelling out" to Windows does it even more harm - Paused or not. The more going on in the game that has to be kept track of, the worse it gets. Technically speaking, the game is not "Windows friendly", and like Windows itself, wants "exclusivity" with the hardware, and I suspect that Windows and the game fight over who's the boss of the hardware...

I do thank you for that Peter, but I am very fortunate to be working with a team that isn't just "modding" a mod, but are actually researching the previous mods, not only finding issues in them, but also in the Stock game - which is where a lot of mod issues actually originate. All of these guys are into full-function testing of every aspect of the game that we touch. The FotRSU team has the "expertise" that I'm using... :salute:

Ahoy THEBERBSTER Just wanted to give you a 2 thumbs up for showing your Mod setup for GFO added some of them to my setup and it greatly improved my enjoyment of the game. You the MAN!!!!!!!!!:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

I should point out I also used a couple of Aanker's edits 1 to stop torpedoes from firing with the enter key
2. not successfully yet though trying to get weather reports with ctrl+W a little frustrating but not the end of the world

The maxoptics for GFO download link does not work @ least last time I checked
Just personal taste for #1 ISE New clouds+Waves & #2 ISE Realistic Colors
However the I noticed my same mod list does not look the same on a notebook compared to desktop computer I had to replace my cpu fan on desktop so i used a laptop and noticeably not the same

Hi cc
al readuy included in.
Peter

where is the SH4 tutorial
 

Hi Berbster. Where is your SH4 tutorial located that you mention in this topic? Tried to find it, but couldn't.

Sorry I missed your post Captcrane. Do you still need help getting Ctrl+W to work?

Happy Hunting!

I have some problems getting the mod list to work 100%. It works perfectly as long as I don't enable 1 Game Fixes Only Mod, 2 MaxOptics or 15 Magnified Hud Dials. If I enable any of those three the game crashes to desktop from the loading screen.



Am I doing something wrong I wonder? I'm pretty sure I followed the guide to the letter :hmmm:

Hi Dahoon
The mod list is 100% reliable.
