So you found a thread almost two years old!?! Good huntin' aapje!!
The "strategicered.dds" file is some kind of an image file. When the game loads itself there's a "call" for this image file coming from a data or .cfg/.sim type file. The game can't find it.
I have to assume a couple of things.
That you're using an SH4 game that's patched
only to 1.4. You don't have the 1.5 version that comes with the U-Boat Missions, or the Gold Edition. Both of these have the 1.5 patch included. AND, that you're
not using the RFB 2.0 version. The RFB 2.0 mod is only good for the 1.5 version of SH4. It won't work with the SH4 1.4 version. When you play the stock game, the version of your game is found on the bottom right of the main menu screen.
For those that only have the SH4 1.4 game, the proper version of RFB 1.4 can be found
HERE. It's hard to find it, but it's still around.
For those that have the 1.4 version of SH4, may I suggest you try the "Optical Targeting Correction" mod compatible for the stock SH4 1.4 game found
HERE. As you read down through the thread you'll see what the OTC mod does and why it's important to use it when using manual targeting as an option.
As you find the link for the 1.4 version, you'll also see a compatible version of OTC for an RFB 1.4 mod. I was a long ago member of the RFB Team, and still have the idea that those that have SH4 patched only to 1.4 should not be left out of playing an improved game.
Best regards.
