Map Overlay Offset From U-Boat

GluteusMaximus · 01-17-07, 12:47 AM

Ahoy Ahoy Gotta say first off... OMFG!!!...I had no idea this game came so far. I once downloaded a trial demo of a SubHunt and it was about as fun as pong. Then came Silent Hunter for DOS. Was sorta ok for a DOS game, but did nothing for me compared to flight/space combat sims of that time. Now I've all but burned my other games as they no longer can even come close to the complete thrill I get from Silent Hunter III. I'm drooling over the thought that Silent Hunter IV can offer something even better than what I'm getting out of SHIII. Ok, now to my problem, I installed Silent Hunter III, upgraded to 1.4b, installed GWX and then applied the GWX December 23rd Corrections via JSGME. I now have a map problem where the center of the map overlay isn't centered on the U-Boat. Additionally, when I zoom all the way into the U-Boat, I discover the U-Boat isn't there. Just a line pointing straight north from where the U-Boat appears to be. I've been reading all over about problems with ATI graphics cards, but I'm using Nvdia. Did I miss something? Thanks in advance... GM

Try ctrl-left click to centre the u-boat on the map where you place the cursor.

Didn't work. It just does as it's supposed to and moves the invisible U-boat to a new location on the map but the distance/radial image is offset to the upper left of the U-boat. The U-boat is positioned 5oo Metre on the 135 radial from the centre of the overlay.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas then. Perhaps someone else will know.
