Hi,

Sorry to bother you.
I play SH5 on a lower spec than recomended and its a single processor.
It works ok and I seem to be able to play maybe 2 to 3 hours with no problems.
Then the graphics go black and all there is left is the interface but I have no views in or out the sub left, persicopes are gone to.
I still have my maps. An can play completely blind.
As I see you know more about PC as I do I was wondering if there could be a tweak there so the graphics will stay.
I'm unemplyed at the moment and realy have no extra to go buy a new PC.
If you think you seem to be able to find a solution I can send you a DXreport or what ever you need to investigate.
Thanks.

I could send a DXDIAG, but dont know how to attach it here, sorry.

But my PC.
AMD 64 processor 3700+
994 Mhz 1 GB RAM
GEForce 7300GS 512MB

But once the graphs are gone they dont come back when continuing safed game.
So I try to play all blind, its a challenge but I learn the mechanics of the game, its also hard to find people and give them orders, only way yo find them is the ALT key and see their outline.
I think first I will try to put some more RAM in I have new Graphcards but my Moherboard cant handle them.
Wel its along shot but one never know there are some of you guys now so much more about these things then me.
Thanks for relpy anyway.

Nothing happens, when I lose the sub or have enough of playing blind I just exit the game and continue on my pc.
Nothing bad happens.
