When I deactivate the mod and fire up SH4 the game runs fine, goes into the missions, can sail around and sink ships (even shot down an aircraft once). So I'm honestly at a loss.

I have the program running as admin, in compatibility with Windows 7 as well. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm missing but I've got no idea what it is.

Be sure that LAA has been enabled properly. Run LAA a 2nd time, and add the SH4.exe file in again. If it does not say "True", then be sure and check the attributes of the SH4.exe file, to ensure that the "Read-only" tick box is empty, and then try to apply LAA to it again...
Ditto to the two replies above. especially in light of if the stock game running fine after removing the mod - and just to re-iterate and emphasize what Larrywb57 said as far as the Save folder goes: You could use MultiSH4 and create a new 3-character Save folder name for FotRSU, but if you don't do that, you need to empty the folder prior to playing the FotRSU modded game. Similarly if you de-activate the mod and go back to Stock, or some other mod - you will have to empty the Save folder again. The v1.8 patch is generally not needed, but does fix several oversights from when building v1.8 of the mod.
