SH4 and Windows 7
 
Will Silent Hunter run on 64bit Windows 7? I have an IMac and will be partitioning my drive through boot camp to run Windows 7 64bit. Does anyone know if it will run?

win 7 64 bit here, SH4 runs like a charm. No worries there mate.

Ditto, to the above! Please be sure to read the Stickied thread on installing the game in Windows7 and Vista. There are some small tips that will make for a trouble free experience.

Win7 64-bit here, too, and the game is smooth as an elven arse for the first time in 5 years (with a 2-year break inbetween and a totally new rig built a few months ago)! Heck, I even installed in the default directory (Program Files(x86)) with no incident whatsoever...though I'm sure the Gods are chuckling right now and preparing some kind of mischief for my insolence :o

Holy cow! That makes me wonder: Will SH4 run in Windows 8? Do I even care to get a crowbar and wrestle with Windows 8 to see? Probably not....:woot:

Thanks for the input mates. Will give it a go.

Hi all, am trying to run SH4 On Windows 7 ultimate, game has installed ok and loads up fine, the problem i am having is when the game starts inside the sub i am looking at the floor, if i change view to outside i am looking down to the top of my sub and if i switch to the map it scrolls all the way to the bottom. hope someone has a solution for me, it's driving my nuts.

Seems to work for me

Yes it runs fine on Win7 64 bit in a folder off the root C:\

....... and YES RR, SH4 runs fine on Win 8 too!

Also runs on a beefy Mac with a Win sub-partition or whatever it's called. Amazing.

Happy Hunting!

Is it a clean installation, or did you use mods in previous occasions?

Win 7 Pro 64 here, been running SH4 on it for a long time. No issues at all.

Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit w/16gigs ram and 2 nVidia Zotax 460GTX vid cards and it runs so good that I swear a rogue wave will get my face wet.
I loaded it in a dedicated hard drive but not in program files x86.
