Hi everyone,

It has been many years since I played SH3-GWX and loved it. I have finally come back to Silent Hunter and am desperate to play SH4 with the FOTRS super-mod. The fact that so many people are prepared to put so much effort in to improve the games is amazing.

I am not great with PC’s...but have read, and re-read the instructions for how to load SH4 on Windows 10, and how to activate the FOTRS.

My SH4 was bought directly from the Ubisoft site.

FOTRS is activated and showing in JSGME but when I open the game (via the SH4 .exe icon) the game seems to open stock. There seems to be nothing to indicate that the FOTRS is activated.

I haven’t opened the game beyond the titles screen (except for changing the game resolution).

I have downloaded DirectX9C (as far as I can tell).
I have set SH4.exe to ‘run as an administrator’.
I have activated the LAA to SH4.exe
I have deleted the SH4 Folder as instructed

I am obviously missing something/being dumb....but I just cannot see it.

I would be very grateful if someone could advise me what I’m missing, as I am desperate to get on patrol !
