Firstly, not sure if this is in the right place, so I'm sorry :)

I've had SHIV since it first came out, and a few months ago finally uninstalled it. Recently I got back in the mood, whacked on SHIV and the expansion and prepared to attack silently once more.

But, for some reason it no longer works. After I installed, I clicked on 'Musuem' just for a bit of fun, and it had a very weird crash, it didn't just CTD, it turned off my computer (Well, restarted it) :-?

All my drivers are up to date, Directx is installed, I have enough specificiations (It used to run it fine) all patches (Unless, is there something after U-boat mission's 1.4?)

I haven't tried the campaign to see if it works yet, incase this is a common problem.

Cheers, Gigalocus

Greeting Gigalocus.:salute: (Sorry, I just kinda like that smiley) , anyway, you say you uninstalled, and then reinstalled SHIV? Have you browsed through this thread?:

Entering the museum can cause crashes on computers with too little RAM.
In particular, sertain mods (which adds ships) actually plainly states that entering
the museum WILL make your computer crash due to the amount of ships loaded.

hope it helps :)

Your problem could be that you have 1.4...its now V 1.5.

If you have the Uboat Addon you have 1.5, if you don't have it you have 1.4. Which do you have?

Odd, because my computer hasn't changed, and I used to be able to access the Museum fine.

Odd how it turns my computer off though surely?

Oh, yes sorry, got confused. :) I do have 1.5 UBM.
