Thanks and regards,

Ready to get off work now! Unfortunately work is not ready to get off me!:rotfl:

And mods are compatible with games, not the other way around;) We're back at square zero! Some mods are unnecessary (ask Leo about ROW), others won't work. Better to learn the game naked (with a friend) first anyway! I'm stoked.:up:

Woo hoo! At last. The download has begun. Looks like I know what I'll be doing with my evening. :arrgh!:

I'm looking forward to testing out that new 20km visibility. Wonder if framerates will be affected. :hmm:

Well I go and eat cake. :huh:

Cake.....Yummy. :D

Oops sorry DL now. ;)

Does this mean we should un-install all our mods then load the patch then play vanilla untill mods figure out what does and doesn't work? just want to be sure, thanks all.

You got it, Skipper!

Can't wait to play this again. I've been using SH3 with SH Commander+GWX in the meantime.

Silent Hunter IV 1.4 Patch

Yay, UBI! I need to fake sick so I can get out of work, just after the download completes...just a few more seconds...

I suggested that maybe this advisory/guidance should be added to the initial Release announcement Posts......or in the Readme??

Meanwhile, could someone tell me what I should do now that I have already installed 1.4 without having first disabled all the JSGME mods?
I doubt if I am going to be the only one to make this mistake...just the first, apparently...:(
