OM Museum - Glup?? :rotfl2:
Can open it at any time. It do take some time due to the massive amount of ships and planes, but eventually it gets there...

Impossible to open without allowing SH4 to use more RAM than it's native 2GB (=1.6GB) address limit permits... as screendumps above shows.

There is a utility hosted here, just for the SH4exe. I also installed the LAA, and have used it for Il21946 with UP2.01, and BOBWOV with the 2.11 update and multiskin. It seems to have cured some random CTD's in both of them as well.

Tried to install this Patch to the SH4.exe and keep getting an Error that it can't patch due to the SH4.exe being an "Unknown" version...???

I have version 1.5 and am pointing the patch to the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4... folder.


What could be the problem???

Use this generic patcher instead... http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=112556
