For some reason, the game is giving me 2 types of destroy marks, if I load an in progress game, I get the DM__ destroy marks with details on what was sunk, but ships sunk currently have just a ship sunk icon.:hmmm: I have the new destroyed marks enabled in TDW patcher, and this is my mod list at the moment, which is somewhat small.
FX update 21
SH5 lifeboats
New Ui's 7_4_2
Open horizons full 2.2
Equipment upgrades 1.4
Equipment upgrades patch hotfix
Any ideas for how to only get one mark to show up? The DM__ mark would be preferred.

Disable DM patch in the patcher.. this patch is for NewUIs v7.5.0 or higher..
Are your mods installed in this order that you've posted? if so, it's wrong order..

Indeed, I most likely would need to move the sh5 lifeboats after open horizons, and the equipment mods before open horzons to put them in the correct order, am I right. However, disabling the destroy marks did not fix the problem, only changed it from showing a plain mark to not showing a mark when units are destroyed? It would appear that there may be a missing file

Equipment upgrades patch1 hotfix

What do you mean? Do DMs not appear at all?

Basicaly yes. If I sink a ship for instance, there is no DM what so ever. I f I reload a save after that ship was sunk in the same patrol, the dm is now in appearance, as it should be. An interesting issue to see the least:hmmm: (edit) After changing mod list, am now back to plain destroyed mark during patrol, and then full DM___ with all details if reloading save in the same patrol after sinking the vessel.

Perhaps you should have started a new campaign after disabling the DM patch..

Tried it, issue persists, also in single missions, I will post a screenshot in a sec. If of course I can figure out how use snipping tool or make printscreen screeshots paste correctly into paint...

I don't know what's going on.. maybe better to ask TDW..
I have never enabled the DM's patch because it requires NewUIs 7.5.0 or greater.. I enabled it once, when I was testing v7.5.0..
