I is back!!!

Well I'm back after a period of being away....primarily because my graphics card blew up about 8 months ago and I never replaced it as I didn't feel it was worth it.

Now though, I got a brand spanking new Sandybridge I7 PC with ATI Crossfire dual cards and I'm ready to rock.

I took a chance and got SH5 on the cheap because I just have to give it a go. Installing the updates for it now.....that said, can anyone provide me with a list of a couple of decent mods? Or a really good mod??

Is it ever going to be as good as SH3 was?

Thanks guys, good to be back :D :arrgh!:

Already having problems, have to say so far I'm not impressed. I start the game, go upto the conning tower, and then when I climb up onto the bridge, everything goes black, and I can't see anything.

When I hit escape and the menu comes up, I can see.....yet when I go back to the game its all black. I can see everything inside the submarine perfectly fine, but out on the bridge it goes black. I can obviously move around because I can hear my feet on the metal surface of the bridge. I somehow managed to stumble into the captain and he prattled on with the subtitles on screen.....useless if I aint getting the immersion experience and getting the feeling of being there on the bridge with him.

Is this normal?? I know its meant to be "dark" outside, but surely not so dark you can't see a thing or anyone. Seriously, I've tried going three times now and the result is the same :(

Welcome back.

Found out what the problem was, SH5 doesn't like my dual card config. Have to disable Crossfire before playing. ALl fine :D

Seems quite arcady to play though, not like SH3 that's for sure lol :(

Never played SH3, but 5 with Magnum Opus, IRAI, TDW´s UIs, Dynamic Environment and a couple of other mods is far from arcadish:up:.

Yes it is arcady as stock, but is easily fixed with a few mods.

Install Magnum Opus, New UI's and IRAI. And turn the difficulty to 100%. That is all that is needed to get the game feeling like SH3.
