Well I had to do a what if vote. I would be playing happily if my power supply was up to snuff! Installed the game a few days after it came out, patched it to 1.1 and went through the sub school. I love the graphis, especially the way water is renedered. The best I've ever seen! 1.2 came out so I applied that and started a career. Had a few CTDs and decided to reinstall and patch to 1.2 before starting the game. I was able to start another career and played most of the first patrol before the CTDs started in again. Soon after my pc just started shutting off when playing. I reasoned it out to be my power supply which was probably defective when I bought it, but just never had an application that was so demanding on a video card. So I ordered a new one, which came DOA, sent it back and I'm waiting for the replacement, which should be here Thursday, just in time for my birthday on Friday!
I admit, I'm in the tank for SH4. Was a big fan of SH1, and waited 10 long years for the series to finally get back to the Pacific! So I'm confident that 1.3 will fix most the things that need fixin, and I wouldn't be surprised if they throw us a bone to boot!
