I've had all kinds of problems trying to import some ships from 2.0.
After the v2.0 graphics importing, I've had problems with v1.3 ships that were functioning correctly before the graphics import.
The signs are the same. The problematic ship is not moving with the waves and it's flag is stationary. It immediately causes a CTD after a hit.

It seems that the v2.0 ships NEED the v2.0 graphics as the ships were made to function using them. And the opposite. Once we have v2.0 graphics running, we must have the v2.0 ships also as they were reworked in order to use the graphics.

I proceeded and copied the v2.0 ships, overwriting the v1.3 ones. That solved the problem. They're functioning again ok. The catapult freighter and cruise ship are working ok on my system. That's because I've imported their v2.0 versions, overwriting the older ones in the \Sea folder.

That's what I've learned, the hard way.

Edit: The AOTD team created FOTRS v2.0 for SH4 v1.4 because they claim that v1.4 is a much more stable platform for multiplayer gaming. I'm sure they've had their reasons.

Regards,
Billy.
