EDIT: Something is screwy on my end. It shows two posts, but when I edit one it edits both, so sorry if you see two. Anyway....


Any chance for a the bonus Narwhal in RFB 2?

Annnnd then SH4 usually crashes right after that.

Anyone know what's going on?

Win7, AMD 6900M (iMac late-2011).

Edit: Here's a link to dxdiag output:

Edit: Figured it out. Had to set LAA flag on SH4.exe. (Very odd presentation of memory problems. Usually programs just go straight to CTD, not functioning but not loading certain textures.)

I can get in-game after setting the LAA Flag on the EXE but all my icons are still white as well as the compass and speed indicator being solid white. I have the interior and exterior graphics but I still have the gauge problem.

Any ideas?

You should post your mod list from JSGME.

I don't have any mods. Just RFB 2.0 and the patch.

To Ark

What version of the stock game do you have? It's shown on the lower right corner of the main menu screen:

Sounds a bit like the problem I had.
I turned off the compatibility (windows XP SP3) and everything worked.
Running game as Admin.

Been enjoying it thus far; the struggle for tonnage early war is entirely immersive.

However, I just want to ask, anyone still having issues with the Deaf hydrophone operator. If so, any compatible mods you'd be kind enough to point me towards? Cheers in advance.

I've installed this mod but it doesn't weem to work...This is my active modlist: http://gyazo.com/e15a4dcd9b89b4faed1cdb1844e58b01

The RSRDC works just fine (I think) but this one just won't work :/

2 thoughts.

1) You don't have the patch applied Patch
2) Are you using the Steam version of SH4? I think RFB doesn't play well with it.

As Longknife said, you are missing the patch for RFB.

As far as it working; if you don't see any new loading screen for RFB, then something is wrong. Usually, this is due to Windows preventing the relevant game files from being changed, or you have an extra folder left over from when you unzipped the mod. This would prevent the mod from being properly enabled.

Your mod structure should look like this:

C:\MyGames\SilentHunter\Mods\RFB_2.0\Data\.....

Not this:

C:\MyGames\SilentHunter\Mods\RFB_2.0\RFB_2.0\Data\ .....

I've applied the patch and I'm not using Steam but it still doesn't work.

Ah, interesting, for some reason I don't have the folders in that order.
This is my folder structure:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific

And there's no Mods map in there: http://gyazo.com/8a89f2c44bedb38fc8f1eadc802c34e1

Is this maybe due to JSGME wrongly applying the mods?

[Longknife]

That doesn't look right Money...

I am at my work PC & the bastages wont let me install SH on it but going off memory you shouldn't have a JSGME folder there. You want to extract that folder to your main SH folder which will also puts a MODS folder in there.

Then put your extracted MODS in that folder & run JSGME.

First, I wouldn't install the game (or any others) in Program Files. Windows Vista, or Win 7 (don't know about Win 8) usually prevents files changes, that need to be done, in that folder.

JSGME should be in the same folder the SH4.exe is. There needs to be a Mods folder inside the Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific folder. The folders can have different names, but the structure needs to be correct, or JSGME cannot do it's job. It should not be in a separate folder.

Like this:

C:\Special Games\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\sh4.exe

C:\Special Games\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\JSGME.exe

C:\Special Games\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Mods\RFB_2.0\Data\......

Make sure that sh4.exe and JSGME are in the same folder, and that there is only one RFB_2.0 folder there, and it is in the Mods folder.

Aha, it works now!
Thanks a lot!
