Dear SH4 Community, I am very pleased to announce to you today the completion and the release of "Fall of the rising sun V2.0". After now more than 3 years of work on this mod I have decided to publish V2.0. Many extensive testing in our online campaign as well as in the single player campaign have shown that is V2.0 ready for this step. That is not the FOTRS V2.0 bug-free are, certainly will find one or the other a few bugs, most of which are in the game SH4 himself founded. All introduced in V2.0 new features compared to previous versions but work Impeccable and many bugs from previous versions were fixed. What's new in V2.0? First of all is V2.0 you blow over all other SH4 Mods purely from the graphics side, many changes affected the 3D models, the atmosphere, the effects, the textures and everything so falls under the great word "immersion". Let überaschen you. The sinking behavior of the ships were completely changed, sink ships not as fast, which can sometimes depending on where the ship was hit already take an hour until the "Pott" flooded. The sensor system has been heavily customized, it can happen that you ever will you shelled out good 8000-10000 meters with a clear view of a destroyer / cruiser / battleship unless your boat was discovered. V2.0 forces you to really take the name of the game seriously, Silent Hunter is not only the name of the game but it should be your "Program". There are countless new ships, the number of Japanese destroyers / U-hunter has more than doubled compared to the previous version. The manual for the ship identification has thickened considerably. In all of these "extensions" to me was important performance. Despite many new ships V2.0 runs much more stable than any previous FOTRS version. The single player campaign but was easily extended is in principle similar to the previous FOTRS versions. What Zusatzmods contained? In download package are 3 more switchable mods included. 1) the known 16/9 Tool what actually Today everybody needs because is still played with 4/3 monitors barely. 2.) Real Environment FOTRS V2.0_byKriller, an environment of the superclass, specially tailored to FOTRS V2.0, a "must" for all who call a powerful computer their own. 3.) FOTRS_Real_Periscop, a mod for a special periscope (Angriffsperiskop) What do I need FOTRS V2.0? FOTRS V2.0 has been made ​​for SH4 V1.4, so for SH4 version without the German campaign. This version of SH4 is clearly more stable and Bugfreiere version and therefore FOTRS was developed for it. You need a clean fresh patched on V1.4 reinstalling SH4. For this you need the JSGME mode Abler, which is not included in FOTRS V2.0. How do I install FOTRS V2.0? Quite simply, when did you worried the JSGME mode Abler and these have copied to the main directory of your SH4 installation, you start the JSGME enabler again. This creates a new folder "mods" in the game directory is created. In this folder you copied then FOTRS + the Zusatzmods. By re-start of JSGME mode Abler you are now activating able FOTRS V2.0 and Zusatzmods. For all those that are too complicated will be released in the near future by another executable "install" version of FOTRS V2.0. Where can I get the mod? Simply clicking on the link below! Here you get FOTRS V2.0! (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4958)

And for those of you who don't understand Deutch, and for the even greater group of you who eagerly moved on to U-Boat Missions (patch 1.5) when it came out, the FOTRS Ultimate modding team is working on importing all this 2.0 wonderfulness into FOTRS v1.3 to give you all the goodies in FOTRS 2.0 without having to make a new SH4 v1.4 installation and without learning Deutch!

But wait! It's even better than that by a mile, so visit the FOTRS Ultimate thread (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=226270)and see what we're up to.

Yes, we're amazing, we're just in comfortably over our heads but I think the bottom is slowly coming up under our feet. The only question is whether it will lift us to the surface before we drown!:har::har:

I ordered a book on how to swim from Amazon. We'll be fine......I think.

I am relativly new to SH4 but I have been playing with FOTRS 1.2
Am happy to se that it is getting a overhaul (right word for it?).
My only problem with FOTRS 1.2 is that ships sinks in no time flat.
Is it being fixed?

Welcome to SubSim!!:salute:

Yes, FOTRS is getting a massive overhaul, amongst all the new changes, is a new sinking model in the works.

Check FOTRS Ultimate thread.

I installed 1.3 and for some reason the preformens dropped like a stone.
My computer isnt a beast by any means but with FOTRS 1.2 worked well.

Grand convoys where no problem but now it tanks as even single ship is in the vicinity.
Help, because i really like 1.3 so far

Ok, listen up.
First, open your graphics card configuration utility. Check that the antialising and anisotropic filtering options are not at maximum. Put them on minimum for now, you can change them anytime.

Then run the game with SH4.EXE, not the GU.EXE that the program uses by default. It's best to create a shortcut for SH4.EXE and run the game from now on using only that.
When you're at the game's main menu, open the graphics options menu. The real FPS killers here are the particles density slider on your left, and the volumetric fog button on your right.
Move the particle density slider all the way to the left and uncheck the volumetric fog button.
Check how it runs now. That should give your PC a FPS boost.
If you're still having trouble, drag the terrain objects density and LOD size sliders all the way to the left. Uncheck the environmental effects and post process filters buttons.
I think you must be all right now.:up:
Hell, even my wife's 1.6 GHz old Athlon runs the game fine with these options disabled..:haha:

Hope this helps,
Billy.

Edit: Hope I made myself understood. My English is not what it used to be 30 years ago...:)
You can search for further SH4 optimization threads, I'm sure you'll find a solution.

Hi.

Thanks for the help but it seems that 1.2 works best for me right now so i will stick to it.
Question.
Tried to enable Run Deep, Run Silent but jsgme said that a lot of files where already beeing moded by FOTRS.
It is my understanding that this mod should work with most of the bigger mods out there.
So is it ok to enable it? Or is there a trick to it?

RSRDC is not compatible with FOTRS. So I wouldn't install it because you'll run into problems when trying to play the game. :yep:

As it stands, Silent Hunter 4 and FOTRS 2.0 are a submarine simulator. Some have concocted ways to make a submarine simulator allow you to control a surface ship in some ways.

There are no player surface ships in FOTRS 2.0. Add-on surface ships may or may not work.
