[TEC] Fall of the Rising Sun Hanging on Load

Well I was hoping for a free version to fix this issue due to being on a fixed income...

I do appreciate the help with this issue but I see it will have to be filed away under a well intentioned add-on but shelved to the unusable section of the drive.

Thanks again for the help, too bad there wasn't a different way to resolve this issue

Cheers!!!

well you really don't have much options for mods with this game unless you spend the $10 to get the v1.5 update, it really is worth it but we all feel as you do that it sucks they make us pay for it.

there are probably 9 or 10 mods that works for v1.4 but there are around 200 that work only with the latest version 1.5 so its kinda not optional, you need v1.5

I was just noticing someone said this just the other day:

If you look at Amazon.com closely, you can find Silent Hunter 4, Gold Edition for as little as $3.99 US.

Cost more for shipping than the game

sh4 gold edition includes the v1.5 update

Hi! I'm new here and just got a bit confused. I also installed the FOTRS mod, but version 2.0 released on Dec. 17th 2013 for SH 4 1.4.

I would assume that the one I installed is newer despite it is for SH 4 1.4 instead of 1.5.

Can somebody enlighten me, please?

it says it is for v1.4 and it wont work on v1.5 game so you have the wrong mod, you need to find the one that says it is for v1.5 game

it is found here: http://www.gamefront.com/files/14694...the_Rising_Sun

Webster, thanks for your your reply, but I don't agree with your definition of "wrong"

.

I have got v1.4 as well as v1.5 of SH 4 and FOTRS 2.0 works smoothly with my SH 4 v1.4.

My question was which mod version newer and/or better is - FOTRS 1.2 or 2.0.

I perfectly understand the release article which I linked

. Here the text part regarding the version and my translation:

"FOTRS V2.0 ist für SH4 V1.4 gemacht worden, also für die SH4-Version ohne die deutsche Kampagne. Diese Version von SH4 ist die eindeutig stabilere und Bugfreiere Version und deshalb wurde FOTRS dafür entwickelt."

FOTRS V2.0 has been made for SH4 V1.4 which means for the SH4-Version without the German campaign. This version of SH4 is definitely more stable and contains lesser bugs and therefore FOTRS was has been developed for it.

all im saying is if your game version is v1.4 then use the FOTRS for v1.4 and if your game version is v1.5 then use the FOTRS for v1.5.

there are HUGE differences in the files of v1.4 and v1.5 games so if you are using a mod from the wrong version game it can and will cause CTD errors and many other side effects many of which are not that noticed but they are there.

if you use certain v1.4 game files with the v1.5 game then you will have CTD at some point, I haven't checked the reverse to see if it also happens when you use v1.5 game files with v1.4 so maybe it does work going backwards, I just cant say for sure since I never tried it.

if you can find a way to communicate with any of the AOTD group then please ask them to stop in and fix their mod link and ask them what is going on with their website or if they no longer have it?
