I finally got the Gold Edition V1.5 of SH4 up and running properly in Steam and I don't want to mess that up. Would like to get some war patrols or maybe even a campaign going.
However I have been dying to try out the FOTRS Ultimate MOD out from all the videos I'm seeing and I was wondering is it possible to run 2 separate games with the same title if it's loaded into a different area? Besides the Steam version that I purchased this past memorial weekend I also have another download from Amazon that is not related to Steam that I purchased back in 2019. It is the same Gold Edition V1.5 with U-boat mission adds. I was wondering if I could install to a separate file area and use it as my clean copy to play around with the MODs. Any thoughts?

I'll look into it. BTW.. I see in your signature that you have an original box CD/DVD version of the game. Same here. I've had it since it first came out with maps and all. The Gold Edition. Can you run those without the player if you do a full install? I have a high speed CD/DVD reader that plugs into my laptop for just such a reason.

Here's my question: Is it possible to have two installations from steam? I'm not sure, and i'm edging towards no, I can't think of a way to do it.

Once you have a clean install just copy and paste everything IN the folder Silent Hunter wolves of the pacific at the Steam.Steamapps.common location, and paste them in a different name folder I use OM darkwaters, Berbsters,Fotrs, JapSh4, TMOSH4, Wediveatdawn, ect. Once the clean copy is installed in a new mod folder, add Large address aware and activate(make sure it's pointing at the SH4 in your new folder), add JSGME don't activate yet, add MultiSH4 1.5 and change the standard three letter save point to something like OMD if you're using OM drakwaters,TMO if your using TMOmod ect. Then install the mod you're putting in the new folder. Lastly make and rename a shortcut from the SH4 in the folder and paste on your desktop. Hope this helps Last edited by 1Patriotofmany; 05-31-22 at 09:10 AM. |

and of course activate the mod by JSGME in the new folder when you're done all that.. I keep the original fresh copy untouched except for JSGME, Large address aware and multish4 1.5 in with the fresh copy, so i can just copy everything into a new mod folder later on, rather than search for the files.

I was playing a Career Mode game and I got fidgitey and started messing with different controls. unfortunately, I toggled the Throttle(?) and saw the digital numbers. I impulsively tried to make the Sub go faster, but it didn't. Unfortunately, the needle stuck on the speed I tried,and then I just got 'cannot comply' statements, no matter the speed or direction. I quit the game, but every other selection I made, I got the same response, about 3/4 of the way thru. So I uninstalled the game and re-installed in a different directory. But still have the same problem...3/4 thru any Career or War Patrol, the Sub stops and I get 'Cannot comply' ,and that's the end.
Sure could use your help on this...I am fairly computer savvy. |

more than likely, you have called your crew to Battle Stations and left them there too long. They are fatigued from weariness. go to the crew management screen and click on a crewman and check their fatigue level. if, per chance, your crew is not fatigued, there could be a whole host of reasons you are experiencing a difficulty. we'll go through that exercise after you check your crew. ![]()
