Thanks gentlemen, that one works..

You guys are the best. I have never seen a development organization release patches as fast and efficiently as you have done for a major title.

SH4 was a superb game before, but with the eye candy that FSAA brings, along with the various bugs fixed, you guys have a classic on your hands with this game. No wonder the product appears to be selling so well.

Cheers!

I kept a save-game of a sub that I could not dive to periscope depth just before a dive so I could test whether 1.2 fixed the problem or at least reported the damage or flooding that appears to cause the problem. However, that save game will not load, I get an error immediately saying 'load game failed'.

Other save games load fine. So I'll be interested to see if the problem occurs again.

Hmmm you kept a save game of the previous version 1.1? That's possibly why it didn't work. save games never have worked well in SH3 or SH4 when big changes are made.

Rolled back all mods with JSGME, installed Patch 1.2. Had to reconfig the Radio .ini file for my radio programs, reinstalled some mods with JSGME and all worked fine except that I had probs with RFB1.13 (only got the 1st screen loaded then froze, got a message with something about MENU not found !), REL-flavoured_to_taste loaded o/K right up to the final where the 'Please wait' notification then CTD. Seems that these two are not compatible to the 1.2 patch. Anyone had the same results. Shame really with RFB1.13 as I had really got used to this.

Best thing to do is start a new patrol from the base , like Joea wrote patches don't work very well mid patrol.

Just crossed the international date line from Pearl to Japan. Attack screen bug still happens. No Torpedo tracking once you cross the line.

You really cannot expect mods like FTT and RFB to work w/ patch 1.2. There were some fundimental CFG file changes made by the devs which invalidate the loading of these mods. I am sure both Beery and Ducimus will provide 1.2 compatible versions - I know Beery has already said that he would. Patience mate.

The readme states that save games & Replays from previous versions will not work.

Radar still doesn't work when heading South 90deg to 270deg. Bugger.

Possible damage bug?

Just messing around in the submarine school, randomly ramming the various merchies - as you do! - but with no damage to my sub at all. Completely invincible. Did this for about 15 minutes. Then I tried to dive to periscope depth, there was a sudden and very long flurry of damage reports, and I sank all the way down to Davy Jones's.

Haven't experimented in the campaign yet, so don't know if this is just isolated to the sub school.

I noticed a minor rendering issue with 1.2: Seems the UZO view doesn´t scale to the resolution when not using 1024x768. There is a little part on top showing the scene behind the screen in 1280x1024. The bearing display is wrong, too.

System specs are P4 3,4 running Geforce 7800 GT (512 MB) and Windows XP.
