Ahhhhhhh! THAT's more like it. Nice static display whilst watching the scroll bar think it's in Windows XP! Color me guarded excitement.
Now we're talkin!!! The game is actually running and it's time to take her out of the slip at Pearl. This is v1.4 and I haven't installed U-Boat Missions yet. I'll probably have to go through a lot of bullschnitzel with Ubi to be able to reinstall my CD again so it may take a little time. What a lousy decision it was to download the U-Boat Missions add-on. They just torture you and remind you NEVER to buy another Ubi game. And to this day I don't own SH5 for that reason. I punish bad behavior. What you are willing to pay for you will get more of.
I'm running the game 1024x768 with kinda medium graphics, no post-processing or anything. This is proof of concept and no indication of how good the game can be made to look.
Okay, it's also my first time using Kazam desktop video recorder and I have to do some tweaking there too, but even though the video quality doesn't reflect how good the game looks I'll post anyway because it is the very first time I'm running Silent Hunter 4 on Linux. This is not a virtual machine. This is not an emulator. This is Silent Hunter 4 running in Linux!
Neal, how can we make it possible to actually post the video itself in the post? Just about every forum does that nowdays, like RCGroups.com as an example.
