Hello Gray Lensman,

Most of the problems you have raised, are linked to stock, and previous edits

To this end, Over the last month or so, propbeanie has been neck deep in deck guns, sonar settings & sub upgrades, plus many other file edits.
I have been busy on other elements within the mod, mainly parent node ID conflicts, visual settings, graphics, external .DAT file names, and internal .dat file names, plus many other edits and fixes.

As you so elequently mentioned in your post, the mod team was far larger in it's first few years, and to this day, both myself and propbeanie are the only two permanent team members left.

Within a team, you have different strengths, when that frame-work erodes, those strengths leave, creating voids in knowledge and experiences.
We are both learning as we go in these area's and there is currently no quick-fix, when we change something, we then load the game, we test, edit, we load, we test and so on.

The next release is coming soon, and will come with noted exceptions, there will be No Add-On Mods included. This is something you also alluded too, and has been in the plans since the last version release.
We want to get to a secure base, before we bring back any mods, this now includes adding any more addtional mods or projects.



The version number may well change at the time of release, and once released, this will also be inline with a complete overhaul of the first page of the thread, to only show the needed information like the do's and don't - to get a more stable game play experience.

We are hoping that many of the "fotRSU" issues recently reported may have been fixed or are in a better state of play, what we cannot fix is people's desire to shell out, using high time compression, not using a clean install & clearing previous saves games when using a new version, not to add 3rd party mods, the list is endless, and these reasons are not being throw around without good reason, we have had these experiences in our own installs, as have many other gamers and modders alike.

We are aware there are inherent problems, as listed further above, please rest assured, we both are doing what we can, So please go and play TMO, and once your done, and you fancy retrying FotRSU, we will still be here, working for free, in our own time, and we just might be at a level where you expect us to be at.
