Anyway as I was digging out all of my old desktop computers that I used to play on I found a box full of my older games that I used to play.
Man there were some memories in there:
Falcon 4.0/ Janes F15/Jane's WW2 Fighters/European Air War
Jane's Fleet comand/Sub Command/Dangerous Waters/Silent Hunter III/Silent Hunter IV
So I got a bug up my (you know) and started setting up the old system in the dining room...as my wife looked at me with a panic'ed look in her eyes saying....
"OH NO!! NOT AGAIN!!" ....I just smiled saying no just checking to see if it still works. That was two months ago...hahaha.
Anyway I have got the sub bug again bad.
Never got that good at manual targeting or keeping from getting killed in SH4 but am determined to get it down.
Anyway I do a lot of out of town work and don't want to take a chance on breaking any of my classic CDs by hauling them back and forth. So for the games I can play on my laptop which seems to be most of them, I decided to fork out the cash and buy the digital download version(s).
SH4 gold edition from Amazon is supposed to be the latest and greatest version with U-boat missions and latest patch.
I already had my CD version without U-boat missions installed on my laptop when I made the decision to get digital downloads. So I uninstalled my CD version from my laptop.
Here's the question:
Is there anything else I need to do to my laptop to get any stray SH4 files removed from my previously installed CD version before doing the digital download and install?

welcome back,hunter.
in no particular order:
be sure to delete the folder where you stored your CDROM version of the game before reinstalling the digital version.
be sure to delete the SH4 mission SAVEFOLDER hiding in your My Documents folder.
when you re-install be sure to use a unique folder and not the default folder. for example: C;\Ubisoft\SilentHunter4\
do not use the default in Programs(x86).my apologies if know this already.
reboot after you de-install and before you re-install.


you didnt say what your operating system is. win10 folks should probably read theberbsters tutorial.
