thank you, peter.
i will take your suggestion and play TMOwtw.

sorry, but I actually have quite a decent machine, and travelling between pearl and okinawa without serious time compression is just ridiculously tedious.

with 3000 enabled, I had skips and crashes at even 1024. I get full framerates without it, in every situation.

also? I never had anything BUT your mod list installed, and the eye thing happened on a completely stock 1.5 install, with nothing but your modlist installed.

again... something must be wrong with it, despite the claims otherwise, since REMOVING it resulted in perfect eyes.

check it again.

Did you install either the 4GB Patch or LAA Large Address Aware? Recommend you use one of them. THEBERBSTER has a tutorial on how to do it right.

Don't forget to change the SH4.exe properties from read only when you configure/install LAA.
That 3000 graphic uses a lot of RAM.

Ichthyos,
i have played both sides of GFO without a problem.
in the past, i found these things to be tripping points:

• not properly re-installing. a fresh install is always necessary.
• not properly configuring LAA.
• not deleting saves from previous game play. yes, i know, this sounds like BS, but i had all kinds of CTD until i deleted the old save files and then, {poof} like magic, they CTD's disappeared.
• not making any mod changes when not in port between patrols.

have fun.

peter,
who is first-level-support for TMOwtw?
i just started patrol #2 out of pearl and for the second time i started the mission at midway but ended it at pearl. pearl is the designated home base.
is that what was intended?:hmmm:
mb

1. was a fresh install
2. LAA does not affect mod behavior, but I used the one posted here to be sure (before I ever even ran the game for the first time). and manually checked the modified exe later. all good.
3. there was no previous gameplay; never played SH4 before.
4. this is a possibility, since I cannot recall if I had added any texture mods while not in port later. but they were texture mods (foofighter's high res boat skins) and affected none of the files involved in the eyes mod.

Hi MB

I would go to the main TMO thread or make a new post.

Your port base will always be the one you return to unless you receive radio orders to tell you otherwise.
If you are based in the Asiatic Fleet then you will certainly be moving around a bit with different bases as the Japanese invade different countries.

Hi! I finally got SH4, but it's the old V1.0 on CD-ROM. I'm doing a clean install. I might have missed this scrolling through the thread, but do I need to load the Ubisoft V1.4 patch before installing this mega mod? Thanks for your help!

If you patch to v1.4 you will be able to use some mods.
Most of the mods are designed to be used with the latest v1.5 patch which comes with the U-boat missions and is available as a download and you will then be able to use my mega mod.

This mod is for v1.5, which is the UBoats Missions Add-On. If you've got the disk, then you can purchase a download from like Amazon, or even buy the Gold Edition, which is the "latest" version, or even directly from the Ubisoft Store, where that particular version costs less than the Amazon's Add-on does... hmmm....

The v1.5 Add-on is not just U-Boats. This Add-on fixes many things for the fleet boats vs Japan War in the Pacific that the 1.4 patch didn't fix. There is a huge difference if you look under the hood at the files the v1.5 Add-on repairs.

That's why they charge money for the v1.5 U-Boat Add-on.

Hope this helps.

Happy Hunting!

Mooo-hahah. Thank you, all! I played a bunch of SH2 back in the day, and I've been waiting a year to get into SH4. Thanks again!
