FOTRSU and Windows 11

[propbeanie]

Do you get a "splash screen", similar to the left one in my "signature" below, when starting the game since activating the mod? There is one thing to remember about LAA activation, in that it does not error if the "target" (SH4.exe) has its "Read-only" Attribute set. All will look normal as far as it's concerned. If MultiSH4 let you create a new Save folder though, that probably is not an issue, but you can double-check it by navigating into the game folder, selecting the SH4.exe file, right-click on it and left-click "Properties" at the bottom of that context menu. The "Properties" will open to the "General" tab, and at the bottom is the "Attributes" section, and just make certain the "Read-only" tick box is cleared. You can "Apply" that, or just OK it. While you are there though, you could also check the "Compatibility" tab, and set things similar to this:



you will have to experiment with some of those settings, depending upon your computer, video card and display. The Windows 11 version of that Win10 picture there might be slightly different, but the principal is the same. You might be able to leave the "Run this program as administrator" empty, but that "Change high DPI settings" button is almost mandatory, which that's what the top little window is, on newer equipment in Win10.

Thank you so much! Yes I do get a splash screen, I'll try that out and see what happens, I forgot to mention the game starts and the menu settings work perfectly, but everytime I start a fleetboat career it loads up, lets me set up my boat and crew, and then when I actually start the mission it does the loading screen like normal and then the screen goes black and then it crashes before it actually loads the submarine interior. does that change anything or will what you suggest fix that? I'm also not sure if I mentioned this before or not but the base game runs just fine without a hitch, the problem is with the FOTRSU mod

Captian, you have done a great service to this war effort, because of your quick thinking and deep knowledge of the mechanics of Submarine Warfare USS Cabrillo is now able to begin her first war patrol into the Bungo Straits. God Speed Skipper!

It worked, thank you so much! I'm finally able to enjoy this game and it works much better than it did when I had it on windows 10, you have fixed my problem sir, thank you!

Excellent news! So what was the source of the issue? Surely Bernard wasn't on your boat too!?! Live long and prosper... oh wait, wrong movie - May you dream of large women... no, wrong movie again! Happy hunting! There we go!
