Umm, this is old news. The thread was resurrected for a birthday wish, but he hasn't posted since this one and only two years ago, nor has he looked at the forum since last December.

As for me, I'm now playing on Windows 8.1 (was 10 until I had to reformat my computer) with no problems.

Exactly! I checked recent activity: within 4 months (DEC) and out respect for a AoD longterm Steve membership since 2005 :D and still kickin' (lurking?) after 70! Sorry about the confusion. The resurrection was worth a polite nod if not a separate thread imho! :D

Welcome to Subsim Kira. :sunny:

As far as the computers, I can't really add much other than what has already been said. However, A single core computer can play silent hunter 2 and 3 fairly well if it's a 2.8 GHZ unit and above with about 2 Gb of Ram. Then it comes down to quality video card

Newegg has a 1 Gb card for $29.00

If you plan to try out Silent Hunter 5, then you will need a dual core Computer.

Identify which games interest you and view their Hardware requirements.
Silent Hunter 5 is the newest game out so it will have the highest Computer hardware requirements.

SH 5 has been out long enough that you can get a used computer that will play if at a reasonable price.

Good luck and happy hunting. :salute:
