I would get rid of either / or of the UJagd mods in the list SonnySmiles, such as what KM has. One or the other. Be certain also that you are using mods from Fifi's MODS folder, and NOT a direct OM mod. Some aspects of OM are not compatible with DW, and vice versa. Different environments.

I tried just installing one of them and even none of them and still nothing and all the mods I got are with the dark waters so I'm not sure if that's the problem

I can't load any saves files made after sound contact with large convoy. All of them are stuck on "Please wait" screen. This is pretty game breaking. Plus it seems like hydrophone operator is deaf and can't hear anything until visual contact. Are those well known issues?

[propbeanie]

No. What folder do you have SH4 installed in? Did you delete the Save folder after making mod changes? Are you using Large Address Aware on the SH4.exe? Are you certain it is activated properly? When you save the game, are you using a unique name for each save?

Have it installed on c drive from disks and yup used all of that dude
That's if the question was for me

[propbeanie]

But which folder? If you are in "C:\Program Files (x86)...", which is what the install routine defaults to, then Windows is preventing your being able to properly activate mods. You could either re-install the game, and delete the "\Program Files (x86)" portion of the path when you get to that section of the set-up routine, or make a directory of your own, such as "C:\Games" and put an SH4 folder in that.

[SonnySmiles]

Yeah literally just c:\ and it makes it own folder

[SonnySmiles]

Update
I finally got it to work !!!!!! I just did one last hail Mary install didn't do anything different and it works
So so happy and thankyou for the help guys
Gonna have to do the run from France too the Pacific so excited

[SonnySmiles]

Would anyone be able to tell me the difference between the u jagd and the stock one on the mods list
Thankyou in advance

There seems to be a problem with the optics which makes the AOB wheel unusable:

I ran a mission where the Battleship in front is 914m (1000yds) away (as shown by the Nearest Visual Contact), at 1.5x maginification.

The battleship mast covers just over 5 marks (5.1 as far as I can tell, which according to Kiub User Guide is 10.2 Degrees).



I insert the optical range of 5.1 under the black 1.5x ranging cursor (A).

Where the mast height (23.4m) aligns with the range (B) I get 4.60 periscope marks. B should show 900m but does not.




I also aligned the known range of 900m (A) with the mast height (23.4m) and received the expected height of the mast in periscope marks (B) showing around 2.64 periscope marks which is wrong.

My Resolution is 1920x1080 HD.

This is clearly an error in the optics, any chance of a fix?

Seems I have another problem Everytime I find a convoy and save it
It just won't load the save afterwards is there away round this at all
Killing me inside

hard to say without knowing your system config or your SH4/DW config.
are you installed in the default Windows folder? what is the order of your SH4 mods? which version of SH4 are you modding, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5? are you running with LAA enabled?

have you tried to reconcile the Windows compatibility issues that we encounter after Microsoft updates your OS?

for example, i was playing just fine and then encountered exactly what you describe: can't load a presumably good save for no apparent reason. Immediate reaction is to blame the app.

in fact, unbeknownst to me, Microsoft applied some updates that affected SH4 (written for XP/Vista).
i reran the compatibility exercise and found new settings that work.

this is an old game by computing standards. as an analogy, try plugging an Atari game cartridge into a Sega Genesis console. that is what we are kinda sorta doing with SH4 and win10.

i cant seem to surface or level out my boat on Dark Waters mod. has anyone elese had this problem and if so how do i remedy it

[propbeanie]

Did you empty the Save folder (C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH4) before playing the modded game? Do you have either LAA or 4Gig Patch properly enabled on the SH4.exe file?
