Joea,
not recommended
I tried renaming:
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Sound\Music
to:
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Sound\Music-
<insert favorite obscenity here>
and as soon as I loaded a game, got "SH4 has encountered an error and must close".
So I got bright and created an empty "Music" folder and tried again. Same thing, SH4 crashed. Obviously the game is looking for the music files, and if it don't find them it gets "upset".
I hate that, AFAIK, fleet boats did
not have melodramatic music playing in the background 24/7, but they did often receive radio broadcasts, and did often play morale-boosting gramaphone recordings when circumstances allowed.
Bottom line, don't even
think about deleting the music files. I was lucky, in that I renamed as opposed to deleting, so I didn't have to do a reinstall to get playing again.
On a side note, my radio and gramaphone no longer work at all. When I click the icons, nothing appears, whether surfaced or submerged, whether "music" is enabled or disabled. Used to work properly. All I've added since last time it worked, is the "Green Icon" toolbar mod, and the "360 Bearing Plotter" mod but I can't see either of them breaking that. Anybody know how I might get radio and gramaphone working again?
