Default We Dive At Dawn Question

What order do I install the mods for it.

I put WDAD v1 in first then I have:

WDAD PatchK
WDAD Patch1
WDAD HMS Triton Refit v1
WDAD Missions 1940

Reason I ask is during a single mission I am getting a PC Freeze, nothing happens so I have to Ctrl -Alt - Del to get to end the process.

What you are dealing with is an incomplete mod from lurker_hlb3 (as stated by him), and then an incomplete mod "update" from a couple of other fellows (as stated by them), so things still are not completely "correct", but this is the way I have mine:
1 - WDAD_v100
2 - WDAD_V100_Patch1
3 - WDAD_V100_Patch K
4 - WDAD AI Italian Sub Adua v1.1
5 - WDAD HMS Triton Refit 1.1
6 - WDAD missions 1940
The single missions can go anywhere in the list, as can the Triton, if I remember correctly... The patches both update the CareerStart, with the Patch K having the later date, and some 'corrections', hence their order of application. Even still, the Flotillas and PatrolObjectives files are incomplete, and quite a few of the mod missions are not used, plus there are issues with certain aspects of the mods not functioning as intended (mpo). What is needed to go along with WDAD (besides a "legal" fix) is a good British accent sound mod (with proper vernacular) and a good uniform set, including rank insignia and medals - as well as some missions in the North Sea, etc... - cheerio pip pip!

Of note:
JapLance's [REL] A British Med Campaign
s7rikeback's WDAD Cumulative Fix
I am not certain, but those would come after all of the above... s7rikeback might comment in a bit...

My mod soup for WDAD works fine with no significant issues noted:

WDAD_v100
WDAD_V100_Patch1
TheDarkWraith_DC_Water_Disturbance_v2_0_SH4
Webster's Eliminate Floating Plankton
SH4 British Dive Klaxon v1-1
WDAD No Surface Hydrophones
WDAD-Cumulative Fix 20-03-20
Loading Screen
Med Campaign 2.5 Release

For Indian Ocean careers, the Med Campaign is deactivated. The No Surface Hydrophones is my own custom fix.

Thank you guys.

I do have the Italian sub too, I forgot.
I was more concerned about Patch1 and PatchK order, but I see I can also have the Med Campaign which I also have but not installed it on this version so now I will.

I see you both have different mods installed, no mention of the PatchK in the second thread, does the Cumulative cover both?

No, the cumulative does not have any UPCData changes. You do have to be careful between the cumulative and the Med campaign, in that some of the files are overwritten, but I do not recall which, or how important they are. The Cumulative is newer though. We had a "fix" to combine the Med and Indian Ocean campaigns, but I do not recall what I did with it... been too long since we noodled with it... mayhaps if s7rikeback gets time to stop by, he'll remember that, as well as if there's anything to watch for with the Cumulative vs Med...

Well I installed the Cul and the Med along with your config, I didn't get the WDAD loading screen anymore but the Med, probably because that was the last thing I installed.

I tried one mission quick but never got a single ship lol, I was just trying it out to see, that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.

Also I changed the screen resolution to match my screen, it was way out, not sure what that will do but now it is the same.
