Goody, good practice in general for games. Something to do with NTFS permissions iirc.

Hello,

I just bought SH4 and am having video problems. The game comes up and runs. I get into submarine school and start the bit on navigation. But soon into it everything goes fuzzy. I exit the program and now part of my desk top and other windows are fuzzy.

I ran that program which analyzes if your computer will run it. It tells me all is well except my video card. It tells me I have a GeForce 6150SW n Force 430. What's odd there is that it has 521.9MB rather than the 128MB of required video RAM. And also that it meets the other criteria.

Any suggestions?

thanks in advance

That RAM thing is odd, maybe there's a hardware problem on your graphic card (RAM especially or overheating?).

Anyway, first thing I would try is a graphic card driver update. If that doesn't work try a Direct-X update. If all that fails I would runs a hardware diagnosis tool to check the graphic card, there are some freeware tools available. And make sure you do NOT overclock the card.

I hope you can play SH4 soon

I keep getting the message of "slow down cowboy.." even though I haven'd downloaded any mods as of yet...is it because I need to post a message (I haven't been on the forum for years, I am rediscovering SH 4)

I downloaded a bunch of mods before I even made my first post, is there some new rule now?

Don't correct answers cost more?

magic452 · 10-22-12, 11:44 PM

Answers are fifty cents, correct answers are five dollars.

I used points accumilated to upgrade my boat with Bow and Stern deck guns, now how do I switch from one to the other? Additionally I keep receiving the message that I have too many officers so I can't obtain the crewmen I desire but there doesn't seem to be any way of swapping one for another I've read all the FAQs here and at UBISOFT now address these issues nor does the manual or Help reference F1 provide any guidance. I would appreciate it very much if someone could assist. Thank you. JC

The AI will fire one gun while you man the other. You choose which gun on the deck gun menu tab at the bottom. The second gun should be added.
"Too many officers" Ubisoft added a limit on how many officers and petty officers a sub can have. You can edit that. Go into your Silent Hunter directory, data, submarine, then you'll find the list of subs. From there find the ".upc" file (ex: NSS_Balao.upc). Open the file. scroll down to "MaxPettyOfficers= ". The space represents the number of petty officers. Change that to what you want. I changed it to 80 for me. Go to the next line, "MaxOfficer= ". Change that to the same number. Save it, it won't change in game until you get a new sub. You need to make the change for each sub. And remember, back up the original file before making changes.

Thank you fireftr18, unfortunately when I try to open the upc file it directs me either to the internet or select aprogram, the internet didn't help and not being that literate with computer programs I don't want to just select some program and hope it opens. Additionally the stern deck gun can be see from the external view but in loking at the personnel (F10) if only shows the bow mount and there isn't any other icons or symbols to shpw that the stern gun exists. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated short of taking the program out back and shooting it. You support and assistance is greatly appreciated.
