Silent Hunter 4 & Windows 10

Ensign Dunsel · 08-08-15, 10:48 PM

Sailor Steve,

Again, I am sorry. I jumped to the end and completely missed your thread. I normally follow rules and instructions, and I missed yours. I wish to retract that last part.

Ensign Dunsel.

WIN 10 64bit PRO here.

Works like dream!

Much better than my ex- win 7 ultimate

Easy to install, just set your privacy settings after install.

And if that is not enough you can order custom made tinfoil hat from me. Only 999,99 euros , special Stealth coating, makes your brains invisible to 99% of NSA's brain scan tech. (works better inside u.s.a, placebo effect is strong in there because tiberium in terrain (info from www.C&C_Harvest.nod)

Order soon, be master of privacy !

Win 7 until they pry it from my cold dead fingers here!

It's the last Windows that doesn't dumb down a computer to a cell phone. I have a cell phone. I like my computer better.

same here, thanks for the links, shocking stuff there and I think you are right, they want to make your computer like a cell phone now.

I have two computers with reservations to get win 10 but after seeing what its recording of my activity and storing at Microsoft for them to sell and use or get stolen by hackers, im not upgrading and im warning everyone I know not to either. I was going to wait to see if it had any operating issues first but now im not even caring "how" it works if its collecting data on me like that.

maybe if they undo all that stuff to make it secure I might give it a second look, but then if its just a tweaked version of 8 (which some say it is) then I don't want it anyway

I say give 'em six months to back off their Windows is Facebook kick and for the gurus to uncover everything we don't know about yet and to tell us how to defang it and it might be time to take another look at Windows 10.

UEFI bothers me a lot. This is a monopoly company trying to close the door on any competition, keeping them from installing on someone else's (our) set of hardware.

Microsoft got in big trouble for a lot less in the early 2000s and I think its time to point the blowtorch in their direction again. I look for Europe to do the heavy lifting on this one (as usual and that's depressing) as they did in opening the door for Chrome and Firefox to have equal status with Internet Exploder. Now Edge (have to come up with a derisive name for that

) is doing much, much worse, while forcing Windows users to use a cell phone app for their Internet access. That's not cricket and I don't think we should tolerate bullying like that.

well in October is the full release so by January we should have lots of comments and solutions about stuff by then. right now with this "limited release" its just maybe half a million people so far, once 15 million start using it we will know better.

my brother is using it (after tweaks) and he says he likes it but he had windows 8 so he had nothing to lose by trying it.

...First, I noticed that on Silent Hunter 3, there was a check mark on "Disable display scaling on high DPI setting", which wasn't there on Silent Hunter 4...

I checked that box on properties of my shortcut and back in business!

Thanks Ensign!

One more time: This thread is for people having problems getting SH4 to run on Windows 10. There are now two threads in the PC Software forum on the OS itself. Please stay on topic.

majidb · 08-26-15, 10:16 AM

After using the above noted tip about ticking off the graphic box it worked for me. I am just leaving it at plain W10 compatibility as that works. To use UBM mod I did two things. One I used the JG thingy to load the mod but noticed that no files were in the single section etc. So I copied all the games to the single in the data section and they worked. Now I don't know the exact terminological but maybe you get my drift or someone can re-write this more technically

.

aotino · 11-11-15, 02:01 PM

Well I recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 10, and I can't get SH4 to work. However, it was not on my computer to start with. I just bought the SH4 CD - so its all brand new. Clicked on all the recommended prompts as I installed it. When I hit the game application - nothing happens - can't get the game to play. Anyone got any suggestions? Not very computer savvy so go easy.

Just coming back to Silent Hunter 4 after a long time off, and now on Windows 10. I can't get passed the trash that stops the EXE from running except with registry hacks that let it work but crashes all the time, or my computer shuts down and restarts on it's own..

Very sad indeed!

Red Devil · 06-09-22, 07:13 AM

now on win 11 and everything seemed good until yesterday. The graphic content is not quite right. Not sure how to describe it. the edges of the items seems blotchy, broken. I may uninstall it and try again. Also, still, problems with JSGME - I cant load mods

I'm with you RR

I found this youtube link gives step by step instructions after you follow procedure Silent hunter 4 will run normally. You will also get this error on installing the SH4 1.4 patch for the game. I couldn't find the other thread please share this in other threads concerning windows 10 problems
