Just be sure you navigate into the Save folder (C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH4" or similar) with Windows Explorer after activating FotRSU, and delete the data. Doing that from the game does not eliminate all of the old data. The game will re-create the folder and data the next time it runs. You do lose all progress in any career you have though, and you will have to re-set your options for the game.



The Awards were re-worked for the mod a while back by CapnScurvy, to make the CMoH more difficult to obtain. The Awards in the game are not easy to deal with, so the way they are edited is to change the names we see in the game, but the base award is still the same. The pictures were also changed to protect the guilty (Ubisoft). If there are issues with your Save folder, what you describe is a possible side-effect. Another way to have similar happen is to Save the game prior to coming into port, docking, and then loading the earlier Save and coming back in to dock again in an attempt to get an upgrade. Usually, any medal earned will be downgraded when coming in to port a 2nd time. Your situation does not seem to quite fit that. Like the advice to Brooksie above, it is recommended that you delete your Save folder so that fresh data can be brought in. You will lose those ship sinkings and other career progress, as well as the game configuration.

Yes, you can get more than one of the same medal in a career, but only one per patrol. We attempt "realism" in the medals awards, but... it is a Silent Hunter game... There are also medals and promotions available for you to give to your crew when in the Office. Click on the sub on the desk, then go to the crew page, and click on the appropriate tab in the left-hand column, and then click and drag to the crew member with the mouse pointer signifying who will get the medal or promotion. Release the mouse button over that person. If a promotion does not take, then there is probably a restriction in place. As to editing the Medals.upc file, it is in the Data /UPCData /UPCCrewData folder, and can be edited with a text editor. The medals' pictures are in the Data /Menu and Data /Menu /Gui folders.
I'll give that a try later, I really hope this time it works, Thank you.
