don’t know what’s wrong with your game...
There are 3 mods i don’t have (OMEGU English, Stormelo Fix, and stock clock)
Have you tried without Stormelo Fix?

Even trying plenty things in modding, i rarely CTD my game
That’s weird...

the CTD is a C++ library thing.
i've been round and round with Ubi such that they have disabled by Ubi support access.
hey, can you go to your Control Panel-Programs and tell me which C++ libraries you have installed? maybe you can support me better than Ubi.
it will look like this:

i appreciate it.

if you feel self-conscious about it, PM me.

I really don't want to look as a guy who just looks for little bugs.
Just in case you did not see it for yourself, the waterstreams on type VIIB are continuing "streaming" under water.
I did not try out other u-boats.
Again, there is no rush to fix this, it's only visible with external camera under water.

Thank you for your hard work.

Hi Dani,
Yes i’m Aware of that.
Once more it’s a side effect of the URC (Unified Render Controller) previously introduced to gain performance.
All the water particules are set to not be visible underwater, and they still remains... like if some settings are ignored with this URC
We saw same issue with the UZO clicking ability lost, and recently the emblem & flag brightness issue at night.
This can be solved, but requires a total re-work of nodes involved.
For the streaming underwater, it is huge amount of work (very time consuming) as there are around 25 nodes per U-Boat hull to re-build, and around 15 U-Boats hull to tweak!
Total of more or less 375 nodes to re-build just to do not see streaming underwater is too much for me now...not to say each node involved for this issue in Submarine/NSSxxx is linked to some particule in Particule.dat

To resume, just ignore those underwater streaming for now, i’m Sorry

EDIT: Seems not all sub are affected by this problem.
I.e type IIC is ok with stream underwater.
So maybe not all the subs have to be corrected.
I will look into this when more time...

UPDATE 8 IS OUT!! (see end of post #1)

DO NOT ACTIVATE RIGHT AWAY! Once downloaded, you'll find INSIDE the Update 8 to activate + 2 add-on mods!
Those add-on mods have to be activated ALWAYS after the Update 8!


See end of post 1 for instructions and informations.

- Backed up waves 15m/s
- New mission loading map
- Smoke and fire underwater fixed
- IXD2 deck color adjusted
- Emblems and flag brightness bug at night fixed (except Flotillas emblems i forgot to do)
- VIIB see through deck fixed
- Moon light adjusted
- Warm clothes add-on mod added
- Weather change add-on mod added
- Training flotillas re-worked (thanks Propbeanie!)
- Emblems re-worked (thanks KaleunMarco!)

Let me know what you think about the weather change mod. It is for playing no more than 1024 TC...you should have more weather changes (around every 2 days or so)
If you don't like it, just deactivate it! (in bunker)

So weather mod is to be put last or on top of the clothing mod. Does clothing need to be before or after update 8 or does it matter?

Best is to activate Update 8 then one or the two add-on mods in whatever order.
But add-on mods have to always be last.

Warm clothes mod, you choose when you want your guys with appropriate clothing for Atlantic weather. You can activate it at start of war (September) and you can deactivate it in May or June (but always when in bunker)

The weather change mod, as it says, change the weather more faster.
In my current career, it changes around each 2 days...but sometime it keep the same waves m/s and change only the clouds and/or the fog!

Don’t forget to delete previous update 7 and its Patch Fix 7

Again, best is to create new Document/SH4 for new career (just delete it, and game will re-create one - you’ll just have to set again your favorites settings - what i usually do is i keep on desk top a Main file and FX file so i just have to copy/paste it in new SH4!)

Yes I do delete my old sh4 folder each time there's an update. Old patch is deleted too. I don't quite understand though what you mean by a main file and fx file?

Inside your Documents/SH4, there are 2 files named « Main » and « FXsettings » (don’t recall exact name)
Those files have your game settings and graphic settings.
So copying/pasting them, no need to re-do your favorites settings each time
