The link for the (101_FotRSUv18_FixPak) is not working in the download section. Any help would be appreciated.

I have tried on several computers, and none have issue. The FixPak is just like the main mod, in that you must be logged into SubSim for downloads, and SubSim.com must be white-listed in your browser. Notice the top of the download pages that Onkel Neal has

If you are experiencing trouble downloading, it could be due to an ad-blocker or extension in your Chrome browser.
Try turning off the ad-blocker or whitelisting www.subsim.com in your ad-blocker extension
or switching to Microsoft Edge browser or Firefox to complete the download. Thanks.

So it could be that also... Let us know how you get along!

I just successfully downloaded the main FOTRSU 7z, but the fixpack is not downloading for me.

I see that others have had the same problem. They posted in the fixpack download page.

Thanks for the help!

Did you attempt to whitelist SubSim.com in your regular browser?

in the recent past i began having the same issue as you had: not able to d/l from Subsim.
i switched browsers to Opera, which is very Chrome-like but without the warts and without the Google-tracking.

Default Is there a previous version of this for SH4 WoP?

I know that they have had versions of this mod out for the base game in the past, but where do I get that? I don't have the U-boat missions and I want this mod! I've looked everywhere and I cannot find it, any and all help would be appriciated. Thanks!

You would want the AOTD_MadMax team's Fall of the Rising Sun (FOTRS) v2.0 for SH4v1.4, which is what FotRSU is based on:

Fall of the Rising Sun v2.0 for SH4 v1.4

The MadMax team did have a patch for that, and we had done some further "fixes" for it that eliminated the "run-a-way" spawn issues that the mod had. If I can find those, I'll PM you the links.


Edit 28th Oct 1515: OK, s7rikeback does have the AOTD_MadMax team's patches in this folder: Patches

Default When trying to load the mission I get a black screen...

I just got the FotRSU installed and working, kinda. The setup went fine, but when I attempt to start the mission (either docked in the harbor or docked out of the harbor) after the loading screen, I get a black screen freeze. And if I alt-tab out I see an error pop up saying...

"Data/Shaders/VolumetricFog/VolumetricFogPS.fx"

What can I do to fix this issue? Thank you in advance.

Are you using the v1.5 of SH4? You need to have German U-Boats available in the game. It might also be name "Gold Edition". If you are using the Steam version of the game, be certain you are using the correct Steam short-cut to start the game. Wolves of the Pacific gets you v1.3, whereas U-Boat Missions gets you v1.5... You to still play the US Pacific side in v1.5, but a German career is also available. Also, DirectX v9.0c must also be installed so that the DirectX on your computer includes the old "calls" for the old game...

I actually bought the U-Boat missions DLC for SH4 from the steam page, upgraded my way from v1.3 to v1.4 of the base game prior to that using this amazing community's help, and successfully installed everything needed for the mod. When I attempt to start a new American campaign, upon loading into the mission (NOT the pre-mission screen where you can upgrade your crew and all that, the game runs that no problem) it finishes loading but immediately goes to black screen freeze before loading me into my boat. An error message pops up as I mentioned previously and it closes my game.

I think maybe unchecking Volumetric Fog in your graphics options might help. I don't think it is used by most SH4 players though I could be wrong. Its kind of wonky. Or that particular file could be missing for some reason. Open up your game install and navigate to that file and see if its there.

There is another change that may fix the black screen problem. Others know more about than I do (Propbeanie!), but I think you could try this:

Go to the game execution folder, find SH4.exe and right click on it. Select Properties (at the bottom of the box), then click on the Compatibility Tab at the top of the Properties box. Then click on the "Change High DPI Settings", and check the box for "Override High DPI Scale..."

If that box is checked already, uncheck it. If it is not checked, then check it. Sounds confusing, but one of those two changes will eliminate the black screen.

Wish I could be more clear, but it won't hurt to try it! Good luck.
