[REL] Dark Waters

Have you installed correctly the LAA application linked to your SH4.exe?
Dark Water needs RAM

lederhosen · 12-13-19, 04:57 AM

umm...I have a 4gb patcher thingy. will look for the LAA

Fifi · 12-13-19, 05:36 AM

I think LAA is better than the 4GB patch for SH4...but propbeanie will correct me if I’m wrong

Make sure to get the right one (for 64 bits if your PC is 64)

There is no difference in the end result with either app, but the LAA version of it is written to the "modern" Windows GUI specs, and might be a pinch "prettier" and maybe a bit easier to use??... All that happens is a couple of bits in the header of the executable file are flipped, which lets Windows know that the targeted app is capable of addressing more than 2g of RAM, so whether you are using a 32-bit Windows with 4gig of RAM and also a boot.ini edit, or a 64-bit version of Win10 or whatever, the end result is the same.

must be a bug... I got thrown in the Brig for sinking neutral shipping!
What could I do....the whole Konvoy was Neutral!!! waaaa!

hee hee, new career for testing

Hi there,

Fresh install of SH4, with LAA. WIthout activating the mod the game starts and runs fine, but with the mod activated I get a CTD due to a C++ Runtime Error, any ideas?

propbeanie · 12-16-19, 09:36 PM

Which version of SH4, Kaxii, and what folder is it installed in on your computer?

Zunaka · 02-21-20, 08:15 AM

Probably a stupid question, but does it require Operation Monsun? Thanks!

Nope, all included

You just need clean SH4 install (SH4+UBM)

lederhosen · 02-21-20, 12:20 PM

Thx for the great mod...
now that updates are slowing down I might be able to get more than one patrol in.

Where can I read accurate heading of my sub, at least 1 degree? The readings on compass are hard to see clearly.

What compass? Nav Map, or interior/conning deck compass, or compass dial bottom right?
I’m afraid i can’t make it clearer

A few things I have noticed while playing Dark Waters.

Every convoy I have run into so far has neutrals in it and when I launch my torps at them not knowing they are neutrals and I kill them it affects my campaign. My latest patrol when I returned to port my carrier ended because the Gestapo carried me way for my actions.

The Type 2 torpedos are way to reliable, they do not go deep like they did in real life.

Alot of ships in the recognition manual do not have there angled views.

Neutral ships attacked my sub. An American ship attacked me when I got too close even though it was 1940.

Other then those things mentioned above, the mod is pretty good just wish there was support for 1366x768 resolution.

Hello, I'm new here, I've been playing SH4 since it came out. The mods are really great, thanks for the great job.
