I started a few school and quick missions with various boats and all was ok.
So started another campaign, mid 41, 7 flotilla, type VIIb.
This time all was ok.....hmmm


one thing though. I have the "umark" on and I dont see it when submerged???

For the UMark, make sure you have the UMark.tga in your Data/Misc folder.
It should be in there, but if not, copy/paste the SH4 original one
The UMark should appear when submerged at around 10M.
Of course the add-on mod OM_UMark have to be activated after Dark Waters...

I do not use any external views and cannot run at the designed screen resolution so much of the spectacular eye candy is wasted but I installed v3 and took it for a spin.

Started a BdU Deployment to Norway career in September 1941 and all good until entering the Narvik Fjord at TC x256. Suddenly, right is you enter the first shallows and in mid-Fjord, TC dropped to x1 and all forward torpedo tubes were destroyed with no warning or enemy action. Perhaps ran aground but had 17-metres of water under keel. sailed the rest of the way at TC x64 without incident. Maybe a mine except no hull damage whatsoever. Never hit a mine in SH4 and never survived a mine strike in SH3 so this may be working as designed.

Decided to try to manoeuvre into Narvik port as it looks like an interesting, tight squeeze but the end mission icon disappeared before I entered the port itself and coming along pier-side I could no longer end the mission. Not game-breaking but certainly inconvenient.

Hi Fifi

I used V1 through v3 and they all run good. However, in V3, the chronometer (or stopwatch) doesn't show up - or I can't activate it or find it.

In V1 and V2 is shows up at the bottom left hand corner and and I have to "pull it up" to see it. But in V3, in my game There is no chronometer (or stopwatch) at all.

Please advise, thank you.

Welcome aboard Mike76.

Are you running the designed resolution?

I am not but found the chronometer hidden in the bottom centre of the GUI. Try clicking the Chronometer button then hiding the GUI by pressing the Keypad . DEL key. You should now be able to drag the chrono wherever you like and it should stay there for the session. Just press Keypad . DEL again to restore the GUI as it acts like a toggle.

Could be a mine, there are mines in OM.
Never played with Narvik as home base...will have to test...

Make sure to set video screen settings for 1920X1080...it is designed for this resolution. If other resolution, items may hide somewhere else!
Chronometer is called using X key or clock button in order bar.
Have you tried to activate the OM_UJagd? This chrono is bigger than stock clock

I have the resolution set to 1366x768, which is the largest I can get in the
"gameplay" settings within "options" on the main menu. It worked fine this way on V1 and V2 though. I also have had the OM_UJagd mod activated in all three versions.


Here's a real noob question: How do I set resolution to 1920X1080?

Thanks for your patience and the help!

Whoops, I take that back. I did NOT have the OM_UJagd mod activated
in V3. I activated it now in V3 and the chronometer works fine.

I still have resolution set to 1366x768, but everything seems to working
fine. Should I change to 1920X1080 anyway?

If it’s ok like that, you can keep it...
But you should try at 1920X1080 and see what is best for you: in main game screen go to options, then video settings and scroll the resolution list until you find 1920X1080. Accept and re start SH4 to validate it.
Oh and make sure to have the same Hz than your monitor; 60hz or less

Fifi, my graphic (or video) settings only goes up to 1366X768, I can't go higher than that. I believe I can go to 1920X1080, by manually changing a file. I had to do that with KSD-II, if I recall correctly.

But it seems to be working fine as it is at 1366X768, so I'm disinclined to do so. "If it's not broke, why fix it?" is my thinking.

Thanks for your help! So far it's a swell game!

You do not state in your posts what your native resolution is?
1366 x 768 is a peculiar aspect ratio as it is not quite 16.9
In your "display settings" a resolution recommendation for your system should be showing.
If it is possible it is better to match your system to the games graphics options.

The X key is the shortcut for the Stopwatch
