Speaking of adjusting files that affect the game, I'll pop this in here.... (although I may be committing heresy). I recommend you try RFB by itself over the Stock install & campaign (with the Special Missions corrected) and get a feel for RFB in its 'pure' form. If you really want a different campaign than Stock, then there is an off site campaign; 'Guerrilla Submarines Spyron Mod' campaign you can find with a search engine that you might like. RSRD is a good campaign mod and many people like it however it may change some files in RFB that may have you playing 'RSRD Boat' instead, with its settings, some of which may be different than the carefully adjusted files in the RFB mod. RFB doesn't correct the Special Missions, however Dgreyson aka Florida Sailor made a mod that corrected them. His mod is probably around here somewhere, or should be. Happy Hunting!

I'm not a fan of the stock campaigns, special missions or not. Frankly, I don't see any point in running RFB without RSRD (or the compatible OM, for that matter), and there is no reason not to run them both other than personal preference. Others choose to run stock campaigns and that's fine. |

To each his own, I know I'm a minority in my thinking and wasn't intending to start anything - Peace.
I'm not a fan of the Stock campaign either which is why I use something different. After many RSRD Careers one can develop foreknowledge and I was looking for a change. Happy Hunting!

Recently reinstalled this old favorite and trying the mod.
Problem is, it won't load. the Loading bar on the splash screen doesn't fill and there are error messages-missing files, etc. Playing the steam version. |

If you try to run a mod made for 1.5 (such as this) on 1.4 or below, it will fail with missing file messages.

AA positions in Crew Panel
Hey yall, I have a quick question about RFB. I can't seem to access the AA spots while underway in the crew panel. The gauges keep blocking it. I am using the current version of RFB with all the patches. Do yall have any suggestions, because every once in a while I would like to be able to use my Bofors. Thanks yall.

What screen resolution are you using in the game Options? You should set your video card driver for Windows to the same setting as the LCD monitor's "Native" resolution, which Windows will refer to as "Recommended". Once you are set for that for Windows, start the game and at the main menu, choose "Options", then "Graphic Settings". In the upper-left of that is a drop-down box for "Game Resolution". Set that to match your video card / LCD display settings.
As an example, my LCD monitor (old NEC MultiSync 1850E) has a "Native" resolution of 1280x1024. If I look in my Windows "Screen Resolution" dialog, I have it set to that figure, which is "(recommended)". I have my SH4 "Options", "Graphic Settings", "Game Resolution" set to the same at 75Hz refresh, and all dial, menu items, etc., display fine. Your game sounds like it might be set to the "default" of 1024x768, which kind of crams everything into a smaller space... |

Thanks for the quick response. I’m currently running at its recommended setting 3840X2160 16:9 at 60Hz. I’m running it on my laptop so that should explain the craz dimension. When I first reinstalled SH4 on my current laptop I had to fiddle with the resolution because all the writing was absolutely tiny and unreadable. Now at least it’s readable, but I will play with the resolution again and see if I can get it better. Edit: Well that was weird, in the options it said I was running it at the recommended resolution, but when I clicked on it to double check and reselected it, it shrunk everything back to being almost unreadable haha. So apparently I wasn’t on my recommended settings. But I changed it to 1920X1080 16:9 at 60Hz and it’s good now. The writing and icons are still a little small but I will get used to them. And more importantly now I can access my whole crew menu. Last edited by Tucker; 10-15-18 at 02:58 PM. Reason: Corrected info. |

The mod crashes when I try to go to any external view (free camera, periscope...). Any ideas?

My initial guess is insufficient memory, either system or GPU. |
