Is this different from another mod I got called XXX_DW_SoWesPacMissionFix? That one consists only of a patrolobjectives.cfg file (which is overwritten by this new one), while this new one also has a flotilla.upc.

don't know.

who uploaded the "xxx" mod? if you got it from the underground then i cannot say it is safe to use.

if you are using the mod i uploaded, i can say that it was tested thoroughly and is safe to use.

Can't remember where I got it from , but most probably somewhere in this forum. I don't get SH4 stuff from anywhere else (I don't think there are many other places left on the web). Tried to find it with the search tool, but no luck.

The XXX was because I know it had a number prefix, but I changed it to suit my install order. Now I checked the downloaded file again and it's 900. So, the name of this other file is 900_DW_SoWesPacMissionFix.

yeah, it turns out one was a quick fix and the other a much better fix.
use the later one. https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=6213

Unfortunately this later one gets me a CTD as soon as I select the "U-boat Campaign" option.

I keep getting a runtime error when I try to start the game. Reinstalled Uplay, although I'm using the Steam version. The game fired up unmodded but when I installed this she just won't go. With so many posts it's difficult using the "search" to find an answer. Has someone figured out a work around for this? I'd love to give it a try.

firstly...you don't need Uplay. this is SH4 not SH5.
secondly prior to firstly, in which folder did you install SH4?
thirdly after secondly, since you posted in the Dark Waters forum, please post your JSGME config. (Tasks-Export-To Clipboard-Paste here)

It crashes in the main menu as soon I select "U-boat campaign". Never gets to the campaign selection menu.

But that was with many mods added (even though I think none of them uses those particular files). Perhaps the problem is on my end. I'll keep the older version by now.
