Just installed SH4 v1.5 on a new computer. Added JSGME, after having the game run on Windows10, resetting my game graphic option to match my 1920x1080 resolution. While back in Windows, I had JSGME take its first "Snapshot" of my new game files, then "Activated" the FOTRSU .40 Beta to see what's up with jlds's question. Started a new Campaign from Pearl using the First of 1943 as the starting point with a Gato sub. The January 3, 1943 start date had my Command Room dials in-tact. Sonar, Radar, Bridge looked and worked as expected. I know this isn't the same as a "promotion" to a Gato in February 28, 1942.....I'll have to do more checking.
What
does tell me something is wrong is that the Museum CTD's while loading. How could this be? When the last I was trying FOTRSU several versions ago....all was well with the Museum?? Who's been monkeying around with a working edition? One step forward, two steps back isn't how this mod should be developed.
Since I was taken back to my desktop, I removed FOTRSU .40 Beta from "activation" and had JSGME "Compare Snapshot" of the fresh install I did the other day. I found 7 Removed files from the stock game. This shouldn't be...although 2 of them are expected. For whatever reason that stems from the 1.5 version of the game, two of the "Removed" files has to do with German flags from the Textures folder. For some reason, the game developers have removed these two flag images from the original stock game. It happens every time you have the game run for the first time.
The other 5 files "Removed" were found in the "Sea" folder, under the NPL_Conte_Verde\EuroLiner files. The .dat, .dsd, .sim, .zon, and the shp.dds are missing. Why are they missing from the stock game after having FOTRSU mod added/removed from the game? This stock game corruption has to be fixed before letting the Beta out for use.
