input not supported
 

guys,

i updated my GeForce drivers. then a while later fired up SH4. the graphics had changed as i could no longer see all of my crew in the damage control room. i made some changes in the SH4-Graphics Options and unfortunately the last change i made resulted in a floating window which says "input not supported". :oops: every time i start SH4 i get the floating message after the branding screen.

ok. i get it :wah:but now how do i get rid of it. i checked main.cfg and it states that my graphics are set to 1024/768 which is not the case.

what file can i change/delete that will reset the game graphics to a setting that is supported?:06:

Your My Documents / SH4 / Data / cfg folder has the Main.cfg that holds what you are set to now, such as:

[VIDEO]
Resolution=1280,1024,70,22
DynamicShadows=No
FullScreen=Yes
Synchronized=No
TextureResolutionHigh=Yes

I'm on an old-fashined "square" (4:3) LCD...

The main.cfg in the game folder is only used upon initial install, or if you delete the Save folder info.

ubisoft is sooooo sneaky!

PB...thank you very much for that.:Kaleun_Applaud::salute::Kaleun_Cheers:

so, SH4 will actually run now but the crew management display is off from what it was. previously, all of the damage control crew was visible and now the rightmost 3 or 4 crew are not visible.

same resolution as before: 16x12

any hints?

ok...i fixed it.
i changed the win7 resolution to 1920x1080 then changed the SH4 graphics to match. exited and re-entered and voila...i got my three crewman back.

in truth i do not remember ever setting the resolution to 1920x1080 previously so i am at a loss as to how with 1600x1200 i could see all of the crewmen and then not.:06:

dunno... lots of mysteries still to be discovered in the game. One of the devs or Ubi needed to come out with a "Silent Hunter 4: An In-Depth Study" book that also had a chapter or two on modding and how to interface with the game's workings, and not cause a CTD...

lol....yeah, you hold your breath til that appears.

... toooootht... been... ten... years... and... counting... :har:

I'm beyond blue, beyond Deep Purple
