PLEASE DO NOT HIJACK THIS THREAD!!!

I WILL DELETE IT, COPY ALL APPROPRIATE INFORMATION AND JUST START AGAIN OTHERWISE ON A NEW THREAD!


Going back to topic....

Ntune shows my card working within levels of me having it brand new. Temp is good and fan is reasonable.

Nhancer dosnt do the job im afraid... Microsoft even personaly gave me some software in an attempt to help personaly... no luck.

Guys please dont stop helping, i will not give up on this game.

Uninstall silent hunter 4 then download ccleaner and run the registry cleaner . Then reinstall silent hunter 4 . See how that goes .

Agreed, last thing to do.

I feel the pain . SH3 ran like a pig on my machine but all other games were fine . In the end i had to toss it out the back door like a frisbee . SH4 has been like a solid rock for me , stable as a rock .

Is the OP doing OK did you get your problems sorted? We want to add you guys to the "happy list"!

Happy Hunting:ping:

everything mentioned has been tried ... no luck... so epressed and stressed.. it just wont work :(

Take thees thread to Cuba!

You make threats, I make threats.

Now, seriously, threads do wander around these parts, and usually wander right back onto the topic. Making threats is pretty much begging for trouble. Lighten up, and you'll find the friendliest, most helpful forum around.

And though I don't have any helpful knowledge, I too hope this gets sorted for you. We all want our community to grow and have fun.

Oh, and in case I missed it before, WELCOME ABOARD!:sunny:

Thank you for your welcome...


And it still does not work. I have noticed that if i run the stock game on full settings... it works fine... Then i update it to 1.5... run it on full settings... and it crashes saying the nvidia driver has stoped working and had to be restarted... then goes to blue screen of death.

Your not trying to apply the addon to patch 1.4 are you ?

No, im doing it over stock... (stock works fine).

No, you wont.

Anyways back to problem.

Anyone got any further suggestions?

Icecold, I want you to know you are not the only one. I have the same problem as you. I also have a 8800 GTX card and Vista 32 bit. I have unistalled and reinstalled SH4 and then put on the expansion several times. I have tried many different drivers to no avail. I still think something got broke since the upgrade, before the upgrade I didn't have these problems. I have elected to wait for a patch or Nvidia to put out a good driver. I got tired of fighting it for now. My system specs are AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual core 4600+ Vista Home Premium 32 Bit with SP1, 2048MB Ram,8800 GTX video card, Dynex 500 Watt Power supply.

Well thats quite a few people now... So looks like it is fault/bug.

What soundcard are you using and mouse too?

Wait a minute, I have been seeing a pattern here....Vista + 8800GTX = Broken SH4 1.5. There is still a lot to ponder.

For instance a 500 watt power supply. Please go here and use this calculator to see if you have enough PSU to run an 8800GTX.

When I upgraded my Video Card I opted out of the 8800 series due to being mid-cycle in PC building, I just did not want to go out and get a new power supply for a computer that has 6 months left.

Look these things take time and patience, we will continue to plug away. Hope this helps.

Happy hunting!
