Attack Plotter Not Working.

Busted · 07-30-22, 06:06 PM

I purchased and installed Silent Hunter 4 Gold Edition (v1.5) from Ubsoft.
The Attack Plotter was working fine then I installed the Real Fleet Boat 2.0 with patch Mod and the Attack Plotter stopped working correctly. The white x and the Black line for the Torpedo track are no longer there.
I looked everywhere and cannot find a fix.

If someone can help me out, I would surely appreciate it.

PS. I forgot to mention that I did push the button to activate the Position Keeper.

Ahoy, Busted...

Ok, now that greetings out of the way... let's proceed, shall weeee....

Sounds like... RFB or something in the patch, overwrote something needed in the Attack Plotter mod.

Might see of backing out the mods (meaning deactivate them, then... reactivate the RFB mods 1st... then... reactivate the Attack Plot mod after them & try again.

As for your game saves folder... should be able to keep that... just make sure to load the very last save of you, in base... know that'll mean of having to leave out on patrol if you're at sea, currently... BUT... consider it a small price to pay.

Hope this helps...

Thanks for the suggestion Mad Mardigan

I activated the RFB mod by itself and that is when the issue starts (Note: The new Attack Plotting Table is part of the RFB mod). I then activated the RFB Patch (In this order RFB/Patch) hoping the patch would fix it, but it did not.

Thank you again and if you can think of anything else to try let me know.

So, the Attack Plotter, is NOT a separate mod in & of itself, then..?? It's part & parcel in the mod RFB, itself.??

Hmmm...

Dang, dang... double Dang...

Only thing I can think of, is doing a fresh clean install of it...

Just out of curiosity...

just where do you have SH4 installed, are you using JSGME to activate things with RFB or are you free basing it... meaning, injecting the stuff from RFB into the SH4 install... like... Dr. Frankenstein... did you 4GB patch the SH4.exe or use Large Address Aware (which to me is simpler to do... 3 easy steps & done... just My own opinion on that...

) & lastly... if you have any other copies of SH4 mod mixed, are you using MultiSH4 to keep the game save folders, separate from each of the other mod mix saves.

I am going to try and answer your questions the best I can.
The location I installed sh4 is E:/Program Files/Silent Hunter 4 Gold Edition
(Note: Not Program File (86)).

Yes I am using JSGME.

I don't know about "4GB patch the SH4.exe or Large Address Aware" I thought if I purchased the Gold Edition then I would not need the 1.5 patch or you may be talking about another patch and no I am not using (First time hearing of it) MultiSH4.

If you think I am needing the sh4.exe patch, Large Address Aware and/or MultiSH4 can you please point me in the right direction, and I am all ears if you have any advice.

Thanks again for your help.
