Silent Hunter 4 FOTRS crashes on entering mission
Hello, I have been having a problem, I am new to SH4, coming from SH3 OneAlex, and I have been trying to get the FOTRS mod to work, however it always crashes on mission start, I can get thru the setup and the initial career creation fine. I believe I have the file in the right spot, and LAA is applied as shown in the attachment, I have changed the windows compatibility settings and DPI, and read access is allowed to the file, I really cannot figure out why it is crashing. I anyone has any ideas I would be open to them!
I am on windows 10 with an Intel I7 7700K cpu |

Well, I cannot get your 1st image to open, and the 2nd is quite small, but is somewhat legible. You could try clearing the tick in Run as admin and then try clearing the "Disable fullscreen optimizations" and see what happens. You will almost always have to use the "Change high DPI settings" button, and then "Override high DPI scaling behavior" and set to Application.
Also, you mention FOTRS, which is an AOTD_MadMax mod. There is also the FotRSU Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate edition that is a combination of all of MadMax's version of FOTRS into one, and more added to it. Most of the mods require Silent Hunter v1.5 aka: Gold Edition aka: U-Boat Missions. Only FOTRS v2.x will run on SH4 v1.4. All others require v1.5 of the game. Plus, you cannot have the game installed in a Program Files folder. You can run JSGME, click on the "Tasks..." link in the middle of the app, and "Export activated mods list to" and choose Clipboard or Text File. Paste the information into your next post, and someone can possibly get you further along. |

Yep, sorry meant FotRSU, I have the 1.5 version of the game, here is my mod list directly copied from JSGME:
'''''' Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157 [E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Silent Hunters wolves of the pacific\MODS] 100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate_v1.8 '''''' Enabling Full screen optimizations did not help, neither did running as an admin |

If you have already cleared the Save folder, and you are certain that the 4Gig Patch or LAA are properly applied, then it would probably fall to the SH4.exe "Properties" settings, with those various settings in there. On one of my computers, I do not have any of the options checked. On another, I have about half of them used. It all depends upon your computer and its config. If you want, let us know what LCD display you are using, what video card you have, and what you have Windows set to use. It is best if you use the "Default" setting for the video display. You might not be able to match it in the game, but if you have a 16:9 display, use a 16:9 choice in the game. I really like 1920x1080 the best, since it offers a good layout on-screen, and the text, for the most part, does not get too small for my old eyes. |

I have made sure that my save folder is cleared, however I am not 100% sure LAA is applying correctly, when I get a fresh install from steam LAA says it is already applied to the game, I have tried both leaving it as is, and unapplying/applying it, along with that I have tried using the 4gb_patch. None of these work, I have tried changing all of the properties, running on Windows Vista (service pack 1,2) and Windows Vista without the service pack along with windows 10, windows 7 and windows 8. SH4.exe has full permission to be written over by every user on my computer along with system and admin, I have tried running the game as an administrator and as a regular user, and have tried with and without full screen optimizations. I have tied setting program DPI to be both application, and whatever windows wants it to be. I almost always get past the initial loading screen, which says it is Fall of the Rising Sun 1.8 and has the quote from Yamamoto at the start, however the game always fails on trying to start the first mission. I have also tried re-downloading the 7zip file from the website. I have also tried running it in 640x480 mode.
I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080. I am using a dell monitor. Thanks for the help! |

Ok, running it in windowed mode I managed to get the error that was causing the problem, which is "unknown error"

hmmm... as my doctors say to me: "Interesting...", which I don't like to hear... You could try to re-do the DirectX v9 on your computer by using the MS End User DirectX Runtime Download, and see if that helps. I'll throw more question your way:
