SH4 and Windows 7

[harpman]

Will Silent Hunter run on 64bit Windows 7? I have an IMac and will be partitioning my drive through boot camp to run Windows 7 64bit. Does anyone know if it will run?

[Bilge_Rat]

win 7 64 bit here, SH4 runs like a charm. No worries there mate.

Ditto, to the above! Please be sure to read the Stickied thread on installing the game in Windows7 and Vista. There are some small tips that will make for a trouble free experience.

Win7 64-bit here, too, and the game is smooth as an elven arse for the first time in 5 years (with a 2-year break inbetween and a totally new rig built a few months ago)! Heck, I even installed in the default directory (Program Files(x86)) with no incident whatsoever...though I'm sure the Gods are chuckling right now and preparing some kind of mischief for my insolence :o

Holy cow! That makes me wonder: Will SH4 run in Windows 8? Do I even care to get a crowbar and wrestle with Windows 8 to see? Probably not....:woot:

[harpman]

Thanks for the input mates. Will give it a go.

[joea]

Yea no problems with Win 7 here.

Hi all, am trying to run SH4 On Windows 7 ultimate, game has installed ok and loads up fine, the problem i am having is when the game starts inside the sub i am looking at the floor, if i change view to outside i am looking down to the top of my sub and if i switch to the map it scrolls all the way to the bottom. hope someone has a solution for me, it's driving my nuts.

Seems to work for me

[aanker]

Yes it runs fine on Win7 64 bit in a folder off the root C:\

....... and YES RR, SH4 runs fine on Win 8 too!

Also runs on a beefy Mac with a Win sub-partition or whatever it's called. Amazing.

Happy Hunting!

blackraven66Is it a clean installation, or did you use mods in previous occasions?

[ElAurens]

Win 7 Pro 64 here, been running SH4 on it for a long time. No issues at all.

Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit w/16gigs ram and 2 nVidia Zotax 460GTX vid cards and it runs so good that I swear a rogue wave will get my face wet.
I loaded it in a dedicated hard drive but not in program files x86.

Runs fine on MacBook Pro, 8GB, using Bootcamp with Win7 and also native MAC OSX Lion (10.7) using Wineskin.

I'm currently running SH4 v1.5 with RFB and RSRD under Windows 8 and have not encountered any problems. It is running very smoothly, actually better than it ever did in Win XP.
The only gaming software that I have been absolutely unable to get to run under W8 is "Dangerous Waters."
Although I haven't tried SH3 yet as I've been focused on SH4 v1.5.
With the Radio Station Mods and RFB and RSRD it is a really good gaming experience.
I've also been setting up approach missions in SH4 mission editor with no problems. The practice missions are based on the Dick O'Kane method and the use of the Electronic Maneuvering Board which is really a piece of work that can be used in almost any tactical naval game and in real life too!

Well mine was running great. But I've since removed the mods and uninstalled. Going to re-install and see what happens, mod free first.

Was getting an appcrash when trying to end patrol. Also noticed I was getting strange graphical glitches inside the sub - white blocks where the dials should have been.

Hope it's just corruption, and a re-install does it.

Win7 Pro 64bit. Runs perfectly, no issues.

[JagdPanzer44]

Working fine now. Win 7 (64)

Stopped using the Steam version which was a mess, and bought the gold version.

No worries. :rock:
