It's quite nice to see my old favourite game receiving so much love and support in 2020, and with the current situation here this game modded will keep me in the house for weeks

Again thanks!!!

You are welcome! Have fun and stay safe

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I just wanted to leave a quick note for other users who might encounter the same trouble as I had the last two days figuring out why my PC wouldn't run the mod.

I encountered a .dll runtime error with the Sh4.exe, and no matter what I tried to fix it, it just would not run.

After a bit of research and talking to a few gamer friends we came to the conclusion that at some point in the uptime of my system my VC redistribution got corrupted and even reinstalling or using the repair option wouldn't fix it...

So yeah I had to bite the bullet and reinstall Win10, after that It started.

I hadn't reinstalled win10 in almost exactly three years and as said at some point something got so broken that it affected the SH4.exe in some weird way to cause the runtime error...

Now after that little adventure in fixing my setup I can't wait to get huntin again!

When ever I send a contact report, I get a reply in french?

Is this a bug?

Also, the loading menu still says version is V5?

Fifi the author is French... You could back-off the Dark Waters mod for the time being, then copy the original "Drive: Folder \Game \Data \Campaign \CampaignGE \DynamicMiss" folder and make yourself a little add-on mod by pasting that folder into one you create in "MODS", like "DynMissEng \Data \Campaigns \CampaignGE \ (DynamicMiss \)". Then activate your "DynMissEng" mod on top of Fifi's Dark Waters mod.

I'm not certain of the splash screen designation, but I do remember him missing that in one of the updates... If I get to the other computer later today, I'll see what mine says, unless Fifi or someone else beats me to it!

Yes the screen says V5, though it is V6! (Forgot to update it at last update, sorry)
Anyway V5 is not available anymore in download, so no doubt for you.

As for the French messages, i don’t understand why you can get them

I don’t even know where the contact report replies are!

Maybe Propbeanie could tell what happened...
