Are you running an environment mod on top?

I have the following game and mods installed:
Silent Hunter IV v1.5 RFB 2.0 RFB 23 April 2010 Patch I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I will also try reinstalling the game in a directory other than default ("Program Files (x86)") as I've just remembered that some older games do not play nice in the way new versions of Windows handle the execution of files under administrator, though I won't be able to properly test this until after work today. I will post my results here. |

Hey look at that, I decide to come back to submarines and we've now got a 1 file daily download limit? Not even enough to get the mod and the update?

Hello everyone,
I'm having a ton of issues with firing torpedoes. Not Duds, misfires, premature detonations, or the like, but firing torpedoes where I aim them. I tried using the tutorials, but they're useless when using RFB 2.0. They all rely on information that you don't have, so I'm kind've stuck. For the time being, I'm sticking to firing torpedoes in a spread (read as "In a straight line because messing with the gyro is inherently difficult") and sneaking into harbors. Are there any RFB tutorials on how to deal with this? Also, the game seems to be fairly unstable for some reason. Thanks - whukid

Sorry but I fail to understand what is different in RFB? Last I remember firing torpedoes was the same as in the stock game

No icons in RFB 2.0. It's extremely difficult to measure range
EDIT: Not saying it's the mod, btw. I just need to figure out how to stop sending torpedoes off into left field when the target vessel is directly in front of me

Do you have the 1.5 version of SH4? It shouldn't be unstable. |

Yep. Running 1.5 with no other mods or anything. It gets really bad when changing between views sometimes, from the map and whenever entering a port especially. I've sort of gotten around the problem by Saving before and after ever "action" sequence, if you will. I.E., by saving when coming across a convoy or just about to enter a harbor to refit and saving when leaving.

Mr. Whukid, I'm assuming you're using manual targeting, correct? Please note that in RFB, the point of measurement for range differs with ship class: Merchants - Use highest mast
Warships - Use tallest Funnel Carriers - Use Flight deck It's possible your torpedoes are going astray because your range measurements are off. I consistently use the stadimeter and PK with great success, despite folks who think it's useless. |

If you are talking about when you enter your home port (sorry, I don't do horbor raiding), the game gets very glitchy. AFAIK, this is not a RFB issue, but a stock game issue. Most just use the dock at port menu, and skip the actual docking. I had assumed it was a graphical/memory issue, but I don't really know. If you are talking about something else, I have no idea. |

I've recently bought a new computer (8 gig ram, 2gig dedicated graphics card yadayadayada... runs games full spec) and set about installing one of my all time favourites SH4 after quickly dismissing SH5.. downloaded rfb, its patch, rsrd and it's patch then booted it up to see it in all it's glory however... When I load up the campaign and start a mission it shows the loading screen and a message (sink them all or it's equivalent) then nothing, I then have to restart the computer due to not being able to force close it (many thanks windows 8). I do have the steam version and U-boat expansion and installation is no longer in 'program files' as I've heard that can cause issues. Someone please help as one of my main reasons for updating my computer from the previous one (that had been abused by SHIII GWX) was to sink my teeth into 4. Thanks in advance and I really hope that someone has an answer!!!!!
