Have you tried the SH4.exe "Properties" and then "Compatibility" tab and mess with the settings there?? (Silent Hunter 4 & Windows 10 - same applies to Win11) Also, do not install the game in a Windows "Program Files (x86) folder, but rather in a folder you create for yourself.

Hey! I've built a new PC so another round of SH4 is mandatory. Launching the game off a fresh Steam install at native 4k presented no problems (besides readability!), but I can't make it through any tutorial without random CTD's. Will try the compatibility settings and report.

7800X3D/Arc B580
Yes I've done the LAA thing. No my install is not in Program Files.

Report: No go. Not sure what else to try. As the kids say these days: rip.

Update: The ctd's may have been caused by the Corruption Manager thing. Tried a clean install without it and things seem to be working fine. Working my way through installing the mods from this package I previously had in the CMS install to make sure none of them cause problems. (I was getting ctd's on the unmodded "root" install .exe with CMS, so it wasn't a mod then). The upside is plenty of reps against the tutorial cruiser. It's interesting to see how the environmental mods are affecting its behavior.

The 3000 yard bearing tool mod causes the game to crash on loading the actual game - not menus. I haven't tried this version, but it doesn't list 4k as an option, so I'm thinking it's a bust.

New desktop I purchased mainly with SH 4 in mind as the older PC used exclusively for SH 4 for long time finally gave out. Have another desktop and laptop for professional and personal business etc.

Windows 11
x64 bit
16 gb ram
AMD Ryzen 5 8500G w/ Radeon 740M graphics 3.55 GHz
Resolution is 1920x1080 180 mhz

SH 4 installed just fine, and works just fine.

However, twice know while running TMO Update BH it just suddenly
drops to desktop, closes game out. No warning, no message.

Now, can't tell if this is a mod bug but dont believe it is or something in system.

4gig patch installed

By all accounts, PC should handle this easily and it seemed to. The graphics, play

Random CTD's are quite aggravating after being well into patrol and it seems to run very well.

The game saves are also not wanting to load at times, causing CTD.
