No, Mr beanie will either wait until the next update is released or he'll give it a few weeks and wait for any further bugs to make themselves known, he might then release a small patch like he did with the MK10 torpedo loading problem we recently had.

What is the maximum TC value in 1.2?
If it is 4096 or lower, please see this thread https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=246621. Since then I have completely uninstalled Steam and SH4 (including the folder in Documents), run Your Installer and CCleaner, then downloaded new copies of those apps and the latest FotRSU release. Yet I see TC values equivalent to Stock. |

CTD - it's not just a job

... and the date you sailed - just to be sure - December 5, 1944?? Also, was there a "Star" showing on that orders map before you went to get onto the boat with the "Next" button, and then crashed?... Thanks!

I could not fit all of my medals in one screenshot, so I wrote them down. I have 9 Navy Crosses, 4 Navy Commendation medals, and 1 Purple Heart. Here is my crew management page: TIA

It's gotta be that early award date of the Tench, in spite of it having missions. I'll double-check the onboard equipment, but from what I remember, it is all active prior to the Tench going active... I especially do not like it choosing a mission that is not assigned until after January 1st, 1945, although the mission files themselves are dated earlier. Why bother with dates if the game is going to ignore them?... Ahh well. We'll change a few things and see how it does after.
Let me search some more through your Save files the beast, and see if there's a way to change a couple of things... be back in a bit. |

Make yourself a MODS folder inside that New FotRSU game folder, and put the FotRSU v1.21 mod into it. Extract that with 7zip (or the Windows utility). Just be careful of the folder structure. Grab the JSGME.zip file from the Extras folder of the mod after the extraction, and drag it to the "root" game folder and extract. Run JSGME.exe and use the MODS folder you already made and then activate FotRSU. It will take several minutes. Now open the MultiSH4.exe file, and type in 3 letters for your Save folder, such as "FRS" or whatever. It should "take" fine. If it does happen to error, select the "FileManager.dll" file in that root game folder, right-click it and choose "Properties". Then clear the tick mark from the "Read-only" box and "OK" that... now try MultiSH4.exe again and set that new Save folder. Once you have that, run LAA and add SH3.exe to it for a "True" setting, or use the 4gig Patch file, or the NTcore utility - pick your poison. The other two are not included with the mod though. You are now set to play "plain" FotRSU. You can grab and combination of the AddInModPak mods, being careful of the numbering scheme. If you already had used MultiSH4 and have a folder named "FRS", as in my example above, then open that FRS folder in your Documents folder, and delete its contents prior to playing FotRSU v1.21. After that, on most systems, you can double-click on the SH4.exe file, and it will automatically link with Steam and run the licensing checks and start the game. If not, then you'll probably have to use the Steam app on your computer, log-in, and "Add a non-Steam game" to the Steam Start Menu, and it should run it fine through that. I have to do that with my SH3 Steam copy on this Win7 desktop. Doing the above, you can keep your original Steam install as "Stock", and mod copies of the install as you see fit, and each of those copies have their own Save folder, greatly reducing the possibility of cross-contamination... |

My guess though is that it still would would not work to get you a new assignment, since I think it's the boat that's the problem. If you have a Save from before you docked and were "awarded" the Tench, use that and then refuse the new boat when you come back in, until after this patrol. Go back out in a Balao for December 1944, and come back in after January 10, 1945, then you can take the Tench boat... maybe... |

the easiest solution to this problem is to restore to a point before mission-completion of the previous mission, complete the mission and then refuse the Tench upgrade. beast will probably be offered the Tench after three additional successful missions, sometime in April or possibly May. if the beast is heart-set on a Tench upgrade at the earliest opportunity, then he should stay out on patrol until at least 1/1/45, breaking all records for single patrol duration. he will most likely be offered the Tench and it should occur without difficulty. any other solution which keeps the early-release Tench involves checking all equipment availability dates, all weapons availability, upgrades availability, etc, etc, etc. i do not advise this option as i have attempted prior to this time and all i did was waste time. but, you may be more clever than i am and you may solve it. if i may, i have been down this path enough times to recommend that you keep the Balao. i had nothing but problems with the Tench: CTD's. IMHO, it is not worth it. but it's your time, not mine. good luck no matter which path you choose.

i was trying to follow your train of thought here.... are you suggesting that beast should change his first Tench mission to something other than what he was assigned with the thought that the out-of-date-range-mission was causing the CTD? km

Yea, I think I will load my last patrol and decline the offer for a new sub. Thank you all! I will report back with the results! EDIT: Since Kieldk recommended that I updated to version 1.2.1, I cannot load my last save game before the end of the patrol because of that. Would it be a possibilty to revert back to 1.1 and get it to work? Or will it work if I restart my last patrol before I was awarded the Tench class?

I am currently experimenting with the proposed changes, and will be attempting to re-load Saves with several submarine classes, to see if those changes can be done to "fix" the Tench. It most likely will have to wait the next full-release. We'll see. |

not sure who kieldk is and if he is part of the FOTRSU development team, but it is standard practice to never upgrade or change your main mod set in the middle of a career. also, never change your mod set when you are trying to fix a problem, as you are with this Tench thing. i am not scolding you...only sharing thoughts based on experience. applying a new release is the same as changing mod sets in that you have to erase your Savegame folder and start fresh. in fact some kaleuns perform a fresh re-install when they "upgrade" to a newer release. let us know how the reversion and reload goes. good luck!

i agree. changing the mission will not cure the problem as the problem is the Tench assignment three months early. Aside: i thought that you had recommended (globally) that kaleuns should NOT accept Balao and Tench upgrades before their official availability date in order to avoid these CTD's. maybe it was only a post however, if you didn't make that recommendation, i suggest that you do that in the release notes in the hopes that someone will read them and not encounter this problem in the future. km

I’m so sorry you got your save game messed up I was just saying there is a newer version than the one you used, And I meant that if you stick with that you would probably not have this bug in the future
