I am going to guess then, that your SH4 is not v1.5 with the Uboats... Do you happen to know what version you have? Where did you purchase it from?

ShotMagnet · 12-29-18, 04:51 PM

I got it from Amazon, through download. I would suppose that it's not v1.5. There are no U-boats in my game.

Which version is right below you in the loading screen?!?

if you have the Option, you will see it when you are in port. Click the Options icon, then click GamePlay Options. and you should see this:

on the right side you will see Measurements and under that a drop-down for the type of measurements.
as i indicated previously, leaving that Option on Authentic will always give you the correct units.
good luck.

I don't see that.

Can make a screenshot of your "options ----> gameplay setting" page?

then it is probably a version issue, as previously stated above.

you have probably purchased a version that is not 1.5 Gold (with uboat missions).

i feel your pain.
you need to purchase this product, although not necessarily from this vendor:
https://www.amazon.com/Silent-Hunter...e+pacific+game

also, if you do decide to buy from amazon, use the subsim purchase link (below) before you go to amazon and Subsim gets a donation from amazon.

good luck, kaleun.

OK. Thanks for the info. Off to find an old game for cheaper than $20.

US Ubisoft Store SH4

I could have sworn I posted this link several hours ago, but apparently didn't hit the Send button...

Thing to do first though ShotMagnet is to right-click on the SH4.exe file, then choose "Properties", then the "Details" tab, and in the middle of that little window should be "Product version: " - my guess is that yours will be either "Product version: 1,3,0..." or 1,4,0... let us know though. You want 1.5, like the Ubisoft store has.

Sh4 gold $19.99 at amzon.com via the link under "quick links"

ShotMagnet · 12-31-18, 12:49 PM

OK gents. Thanks for the links. My version is indeed 1.0.

Propbeanie, the link takes me to what appears also to be version 1.0. Is this correct? The accompanying 'box art' would suggest that it is.

Shot

propbeanie · 12-31-18, 01:27 PM

It has a "Gold Edition" at the top, which insinuates v1.5 with the UBoat Missions Add-On... That is the US site, so they might have a telephone number on there, but I couldn't find one... nor did I find an "Online Chat"...

ShotMagnet · 12-31-18, 02:26 PM

Okay, thanks.

Is there a way to ignore contact reports, which incidentally can turn patrols which are already tedious into something that keeps me tapping away on the + key? I'm betting that the answer is either 'no' or 'you don't have the right version' or both, but I'll never know if I never ask.

ShotMagnet · 12-31-18, 02:27 PM

Also, how is it that my guys will spot a ship at long range that I can't see, and what can I do about it?

Also,
