Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific, U-Boat Missions (un-modded)
I'm still trying to upgrade from my old Geforce 5500. The card I have now, Nvidia GeForce 7800 GS, is on the recommended list but it is crashing at the same place the 6200 I tried was crashing. I get through the menu's ok but when the Command Room starts coming into view, the system crashes and I have to reboot. I'm thinking it's a setting issue but so far have not been able to solve the problem. Searching forums I have so far found only one mention of a Geforce 7800 / Silent Hunter 4 crashing thread. Turns out this guys trouble was bad main memory and not a card/game problem (tested my memory, found OK). My old card never crashed the system but, needless to say, lacked a great deal in performance. The 7800 I am trying is used but aside from SH4, seems to be working ok.
The questions I have now are: why would the system always crash at the Command Room view and is the problem a setting issue? If it's a setting issue which settings need to be changed? Does anyone have any experience with the GeForce 7800? Hope someone has some insite for me.
