I just uninstalled and put in one of my spare SSD's and reinstalled SH4 on that drive and still there is 0 content in the game.
Even when I go to quick missions there isn't anything there.

Think something with Windows is messing with SH4 but I cannot find anything.

ok, let's back up.
you are using Win11 and installing SH4 plus TMO and RFB but not using JGSME.
this could be why you are not seeing content.

which version of SH4 do you own a license for?

here is a forum that you should review before proceeding any further. it will help you diagnose and fix a Win11 issue.

next, seriously consider using Jones Software tool to apply your mod set. if you were attempting to apply a mod set without JSGME, it would be interesting to know how you are applying it, because that could be another reason you are seeing no content.

Go back and read my first post, I initially tried SH4 vanilla.
I then installed TMO and got it working.

So my issue is with vanilla SH4 no JSGME needed for a vanilla install.
I own SH4 gold edition that I have owned for years bought the ubisoft.

At any rate I just re-installed Windows 11 for the 2nd time this weekend and now vanilla SH4 is working properly.

Had you updated the UPlay to UConnect by chance sultan.of.swing? An older version of the Ubisoft game will have UPlay. The newer version uses UConnect. I have not looked at my installs to see if the folder structure is different between the two "starter" apps, and I am away from my gaming computer for a while... ??

It is the newest uplay app which I have been using anyway, It was something with Windows that was causing the issue as a fresh install solved it.
I keep all my games on a separate drive so after I Re-loaded Windows I just installed uplay and pointed it to my old install and it worked perfectly.

You don't need Uplay anyway it's 'MdR'...!!'LoL'..
I have a Disc version there is no problem .. no Uplay ...
I would even add that Ubisoft are in total loss of altitude...
they "sell off" their games on Steam.. I remember a while ago... the commercial 'Ubi' said that he would not sell on Steam..
they only get what they deserve by dint of taking us for fools...no capitalism...quality above all...
they must have forgotten who made them rich in the past.. the PC players
