Extra grafix options in 1.2, What are they?

So what DO they do? I don't want to be ticking one and losing some graphical wonderment... I am running an 8800GTX card...

One of your mods did that. Sorry, don't remember which one it is.

The two options are:

Volumetric Fog (on the left)
Vertical Sync (on the right)

The file that was overwritten by your mod is:

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Menu\menu.txt

You can do a clean install/patch if you like, but if you re-enable that mod it will kill those options again. What you need to do is, edit the menu.txt listed above, and add these lines:

4454=Volumetric Fog
4455=Vertical Sync

in the ";graphic options" section after you apply the mod. That will get the option labels visible again on the menu!

HTH!

Thanks to Dirty Harry, I've figured out what caused my missing text. It was really my fault (of course) since I had a couple of early mods that I was checking out which had not been re-issued for version 1.2. I think RFB has since issued a 1.2 version, but not sure about Real Medals. Neither has the graphics entries for menu.txt at 4454 and 4455, but then those boxes did not exist in version 1.1 so there was nothing wrong with the mods. Does give me something to look for when things go sour though.
