Otherwise, excellent mod! The graphics are astounding. Oh, one more thing...my watchstanders don't have eyes.

Do you have the Large Address Aware set on the SH4.exe, as per CapnScurvy's Windows10; Large Address Aware; SH4 Install? That would help immensely with RAM management for the game. However, I suppose we should find out what you have for a computer, since it sounds like something is still off a bit with your install. Of specific interest would be the type of graphics display / card that you have, but also the amount of RAM and the cpu.
As far as the FotRSU mod team is concerned, a CTD is unacceptable. We want to try to figure out why you're getting those. The use of much Time Compression (TC) can mess things up, which is one reason why it's limited to 2048 in the mod. But even at that, if you encounter many planes, or large groupings of ships, you will notice a "glitch" in the TC, like the game "hiccuped", but we don't want anymore than that... Can you describe the circumstances surrounding your "lock-ups" and "crashes" please? |

Are you playing the German Uboats in FotRSU then? The US and other Ally planes have been known to "accidentally" attack the player's boat, it doesn't happen real often. There are a lot of airplanes in the game though, even in Stock trim. Webster has a small mod for the airplane frequency, though he did make them more accurate when they do find you. In FotRSU, all of the enemy planes have superman vision, and Annie Oakley accuracy from the distance of 10 football field lengths... The idea when "seeing" a plane, whether friend or foe, found by radar or visual, is to crash dive if they're coming at you. Do NOT attempt to fight them in FotRSU. If you're doing the US Fleet Boat, the Japanese have several types of Kamikaze that can get you, with the human-guided bomb able to get you below periscope depth (been there, done that). Whether an Axis or Allied plane, when they "see" you, they keep coming back to check on you... I'm not sure how far along RR has gotten with "User Definable" AI Settings, but "frequency of" might be in there eventually also... but those would be after the initial release, since several other inter-related settings keep having to be changed.
In the meantime, this is a "beta" mod, and as such, we would really appreciate if you would document anything that you deem as "broken", or "not good enough", or "needs tweaking", etc., because we are shooting for "The Best" with this mod, though a couple of us on the team are about as "smart" as an anchor... - a necessary tool, but... |

And yes, I prefer doing the U-Boat patrols. I like trying to break into the Pacific and cause trouble, but it's murder dealing with Allied aircraft. There should be permanent refueling points in places like Guam, Truk, and Wake in my humble opinion. It's ALWAYS around Celebes that I always seem to run into trouble.
Funny story, I was operating in the Indian Ocean after raiding Colombo, and I surfaced in the middle of a German task force! I literally surfaced a klick away from the Lutzow. Can you imagine the surprise both crews would have?

The U-Boats were an after thought.....a way to get us gamer's to pony up another 10 bucks to add the last official "Patch" (number 5) to the game. The U-Boat side of gameplay is purely stock. Most mods here in SH4 are designed for the American side of play, you shouldn't expect to find many modifications for the U-Boat within the SH4 community......If we wanted to play/modify the U-Boat, we would be on SHIII or SH5's site. Planes like the American B-17, P-38 and many others were indeed modded by us to add to the game....for our enjoyment to see flying about. If you're on the wrong side of the war and get pummeled by them, thank Ubisoft for that.

You folks have done a splendid job on this mod, perhaps I need to play more American campaigns. I've always mostly played as the German side.

If you want German boats in SH4, give lurker's Operation Monsun a whirl. While not as steeped in ships and planes as FotRSU, if ya gotta have Uboats, ya gotta have OM... There are about 10-12 mods that can all work together, though I used to just do OM705, the 20 update and the patch. I don't recall ever making it past 1944, and now I can't find my old download files... I archived a bunch of stuff a couple of weeks ago, and now they're like my SH3 and original SH4 disk, and done gone invisible on me...
