What kind of Video Card?

[Larrywb57]

Hello Everyone,

Just got a new computer and trying to run the SH IV, Wolves of the Pacific game. I've downloaded/installed JSGME in the game and activate Ducimus's TMO 2.5. The game would start and I could start a career. I plotted a course on the nav map. But when I went to the Bridge or Attack periscope, the game would crash. I removed everything from the activated mods to available mods in JSGME. And re-started the game and the game crashed when I went to the attack periscope station again. So my question is, do I need a video card and if so, what kind? I don't have alot of cash to spend now, so what do you think I could get?

My computer's profile is:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 32-Bit
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duc 2.33 GHz
Memory: 2GB (with slots three and four empty)
Hard Drive: 750GB

Thank you in advance for your help,

Larry

I'm pretty sure that computer has a video card already but the question remains what video card is in there.

go to your control panel>device manager>expand 'Display Adapters
and it should be listed right there.

but in any case you might also ask for help in the SH IV forum since there's a lot more activity going on and a lot more knowledge is there regarding issues with the game.

hope you get it sorted :salute:

If it runs stock fine - its probably an issue with the mod install.

If I could hazard a guess it would be low memory. 2 gigs for a Win7 system will run it but don't look for it to fly. It sounds like when you run the scope the graphics is too much. You may want to lower your graphics down some and see if that works.

Also what's your Frames Per Second inside and outside the boat?

Integrated graphics or separate card?
