When more of those SH3 players upgrade to 24" monitors and Windows 7 I think you'll see more and more complaints about that game.

I absolutely love Silent Hunter 3, it plays remarkably smooth on my machine now. However it's a bitch to get it working under Windows 7 64bit and it looks like utter crap on my new PC since it's essentially designed for a computer with the screen resolution and computing power of my phone.

How would the thousands of SH3 game players be able to back up his statement that he personally finds playing with a low resolution UI difficult? I think it would be best if we didn't start saying who is and who isn't a proper subsimmer, because of the way they like to play or their preferences. If you have supported the genre by buying the games, then that's good enough for me.

Well, kind of what I was getting at was if they did have unlimited time, effort and money. I know that's not economically feasible, but ah well. :D

I'm prolly one of the least computer literate people on the planet, but thanks to the excellent help topics on how to load the game on my new Win 7 computer I had very little trouble. Of course, my new copy of Sh3 doesn't have Starforce so maybe that helped. I also used the wide screen fix that was available for the game and it looks great on my system.

I dunno. I guess I was lucky, bc I've heard of others having trouble getting /3 on their new system. I didn't have any trouble, which was a relief. Now if I could only find time to play it, haha. :DL

I use a 22" and XP Pro but not to concerned regarding my next OS upgrade because I know a few folk who appear to be problem free.....I am hoping I'm not the exception to the rule though :DL

It would appear you have misinterpreted my post, I made no reference or opinion as to somebody being a 'proper subsimmer' or otherwise.

What I did respond to was Quite subjective in my view, especially when taking into consideration the time and effort (there's another clue to 'veteran subsimmer' or lack thereof) taken by so many in this community to improve upon what was previously released.

I'm pleased to hear that. It sounded for a moment like you were saying that he wasn't a true subsim veteran.

Nope, not my style...or of sufficient importance considering the subject matter.

If somebody says "SH3 is ancient and ugly" or another posts like purdy graphics is the most important thing in a subsim, I can almost guarantee you that they are anything but subsim veterans.
If we mean by "subsim veteran" as gaming experience playing submarine simulations throughout the years.
I'll let you figure out the reasons why.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what that means, what are you saying?

Gee that's too bad

That's mature.

EDIT: OK, I think you're probably just reacting because I said you'd communicated poorly in another thread, but seriously what you typed doesn't make any sense. I could guess at what you mean, but that might not be what you meant.

:haha:... Nisgeis you can only do that trick of saying you don't understand and then insult by saying somebody doesn't make sense, so many times. It's already getting old.
Now you're either going to ask me again what I mean by that, or act like a victim... classic forum tricks.

I'm sorry that I offended you by saying that I didn't understand what you wrote. That wasn't my intention. I did not mean to insult you either.

I find a good healthy debate much more effective than forum tricks. If you'd care to discuss your point of view, then I'm all for that. This is a discussion forum, after all.

why does it seem that more sh3 players hang out in the sh5 forums more than they do in the sh3 forums? i figured the bashing would end eventually and people would just accept what is and move on, but it hasn't. 9 out of 10 threads are about drm sucks, ubi sucks, or i've never played it, but sh5 sucks. we get it. sh5 sucks and sh3+gwx is the best, enjoy it. when will it all end here really? why not bash it on the sh3 forums instead? sh3 players seem to be the most interested in it anyways.
