Can SH IV be played under Win98SE?
 

Hi guys

Just wonder if anyone has tried to run or knows if SH4 can be run under Win98SE as SH3 could?

The only problem when I ran SH3 under Win98 was I could not save while on a patrol in a campaign but only when in port which was no big deal to me.

Thanks

Saw this under game requirements.

Dude! Its 2008, that OS is 10 years old. Good God, man!

Damn. This probably crushes my dream to run it under Windows 3.1 :lol:

Sometime in 2006 there was an update in the DirectX SDK that made the DirectX games not being able to run on Windows 2000. So that's why the requirements say: XP/Vista only.

So, no, you can't run SH4 on Win98 (or Win2000). Sorry about that.

Hmmm
 

First; why would you want to play it on Win98SE in the first place, LOL??
Second; I think the memory and graphics limitations of Win98 would preclude the game running well, if at all, in any case. Even if it did run I'm betting that you would be unable to enjoy the game in all it's graphical glory.

WOW! I thought I was a hardcore holdout for upgrading Windows.....LOL.;)

My recollection is that nothing ran on Windows 98SE...including the Operating system. :D

lol

Thanks guys

Guess I am out of luck anyway as I have a GF 5700LE 256MB vid card and the min for this sim is

"*Supported Video Cards:

NVIDIA® GeForce™ 6200/6600/6800/7800"

Thanks for all the replies :cool:

Sorry it did not work out for you :roll:

It was marginally better than me.

My card does support pixel shader 2.0 though

UBI and their strange specs :roll:

oh well I'm gonna have fun with the new GWX 2.0 for SH3 :cool:

[quote=Crop-Duster]I dunno that it's "strange" for the developer to assume you have an OS that was released sometime within the last decade. :hmm:

[quote=Schlippittz]I meant about the video card requirement

When does the Atari version come out?
