RSRD orders you to empty areas

My guess is your have some corrupt files in your base game now and probably gonna have to reinstall. Just save your mods folder somewhere else and rename it.

So I copied over a fresh file of SHIV 1.5, added all the MODs again, installed them with JSGME, started a campaign Aug 5, 1942, and my first patrol from Midway sends me to ... you guessed it Bashi! Do I have the right version of RSRD? Got it from Lurker's site V502 posted 11/2009.

Did you try another patrol to see if you would get sent there again?
You are using the correct version. I assume you meant April, not August, correct? You are using the RSRD patch...think you were.

Did you try just TMO first, then RSRD?


Possible a mod is corrupt, may want to try new downloads.


Be interesting to know if your traffic is working, try a career out of Manila and go sit right at the entrance to Lingayen gulf and wait at least 7 days and see if the big invasion force shows up. If you sit in the middle of Lingayen and head north, you can't miss it.

If that doesn't work, I don't know, something is wierd cause I don't know of anyone that has this problem. Let me know for sure of the dates, but I'll check and see the patrol zones for April 5.

It appears your first patrol would be right near the Bungo, after that, depending on time you could go to the Luzon or near Tokyo. I see nothing that would send you to Bashi more than once, so you do have an issue somewhere.

I don't see anything in you mods messed up, but if one is corrupted, could cause an issue. First just make sure you run only TMO and RSRD and need patches for both before you load any other mods.

I'm sure it's been asked, but you are running version 1.5?

What are you looking at to know if the first patrol should go to Bungo? I'll look in the same place with what I have installed.
I'll try TMO and RSRD alone first then add the other MODs.
Oh yes, I am running SHIV 1.5 Gold. The only thing I changed was the Commands file in the CFG folder so I can use keys I preferred, e.g., Enter for normal time and CTRL-Enter for torpedo launch.
Hey, thanks for your patience with this. I'm pretty sure I have something screwed up up but can't find it on my own. I've only been playing for about 6 months so I don't understand the game's "inards".

P.S. I just ran with only these MODs;
TMO 2.0
TMO_20_Beta_update
RSRDC_TMO_V502
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1

Started Dec 7, 1942 from Cavite on the USS Sargo and I was sent to Bashi.
Should I download RSRD again? Is there another site to DL from other than Lurker's? Any files I could look at to help you try and figure out what's going on with my MODs?

You can open up the Patrol Objectives in the campaign files if you want to look. Think they're TSR files.

Now that you've got a fresh install I would try a few patrols. Depending on time you could get sent there a few times, but would be different locations. Try to start a career in Jan 42, will be in Surabaya...the TF option, not subpac, can't remember the full name, but in Jan from Surabaya you won't get shipped near Luzon.

Mod order looks good.

Your RSRD files may be corrupt, here's a site I use to DL.

I DL'd two new copies of RSRD and the patch. I installed those with TMO2 and Beta. All works well, at least I'm not going to Bashi again. Tried 8 different campaigns, different times, different subs and got different patrol areas. These patrols ranged from Hokkaido area, to East China Sea West of Ryukus down to just off of Formosa.
Let's call this one this solved as a result of a "bad" DL of the RSRD file(s).
Thank you Armistead and others for indulging me on this one. I guess I'm fortunate so far that I've only experienced this one bad Dl of all the ones I've used.

OK I'll start another campaign from Manilla.

I meant Aug 5, 1942 and yes i installed the 5xx patch.
I was playing TMO alone first. Then I added RSRD and that's when I kept being sent to Bashi Channel
OK I'll start another campaign from Manilla.
