This sounds to me like you might have one of the mods installed in the wrong order. Not trying to insult your intelligence, but check to make sure that you have the mods installed correctly in the right order. One other possibility, check to make sure that the version of SH4 you downloaded from steam is v1.5 and not v1.4. RFB 2.0 is geared toward v1.5 of SH4. Hope you get things working.

Make sure when you are installing mods that the folders are exactly right as well. Sometimes you get a 'folder within a folder' problem such that when you think you are installing a mod you really aren't.

I've followed pretty much everything and tried the whole programs thing to no avail.. Did a quick test to see if the stock game worked and it does.. Really starting to struggle with it, the last time I tried it with the mod was from a fresh install and I started a mission and thought yes (as it had entered it and I was in the sub)!!! But I spoke to soon and as I went to the bridge voila - crash. Started it up again only to find the same thing (now would freeze starting a mission - just after the quote). Really starting to struggle and get frustrated but feel I'm fighting a losing battle.

Have you tried installing one mod at at time then trying the game to see if it works correctly? One of the mods might be have become corrupted during the download, thus causing a problem.

Steam + the U-Boat missions upddates both to 1.5 I believe (1.5 is in the bottom right of the screen after loading).
Question; How do I know RFB is installed? I entered RFB (with patch) + RSRD (with patch) and the game loads fine, but theres notwhere stating RFB is active. Is there a quick way to check?

The opening screen after the intro movies should say RFB on it. Sounds like it didn't load right. You are using the JSGME correct? Try uninstalling the mods and then reinstalling.

The first thing I would check is the file/folder structure. Sometimes you get a duplicate folder when you unzip mods. This prevents them from being properly activated. |

So I recently installed RFB 2.0 and RSRD 575.
and I've noticed my torpedo track indicator is gone, I'm assuming that's a function of the mods. How difficult would it be for me to restore it to the SHIV default? I love just about everything else with the mods, but I'm naked without my tracking indicator. |

The RFB team had the view that the "attack map" stuff was too much of a gamey advantage; so you won't have the torpedo track. |

A pair of files need to be removed from the mod folder. Program Files(x##)/Data/Menu/Gui Look for ContLine.dds and DashLine.dds You may need to experiment, due to the game still not adding back in active tracking of the torpedoes "flight path" but rather only adding back in the initial direction it takes, and the bold green line indicating it's curve. It may be as simple as adding one or the other file back to the GUI. Hope that helps. and I apologize if this information was preferred left out by the RFB team. |
