Silent hunter IV/U-Boat missions on vista

[aric149]

I'm getting back into sub sims after a LONG time,
Really long time, 688, sea wolf, silent service, silent hunter 1.

How does silent hunter IV and the U-boat expansion run on Vista?
I'll be running a pentium D 3.0ghz, zalman 9500
2 gig memory
nvidia 7600 GS 256 meg (not the best, I know)

I have a Vista 2ghz Core2Duo w/2gb RAM & 7600gs w/512mb, and with all the special effects filters clicked on, imagery is very choppy. I clicked most of 'em off and things sped up considerably.

Also, the villages / cities have more detail and navigating 'round ports causes framerates to drop. You have a faster processor that might make a difference. Add more RAM to the 7600 to help out.

If you set up a great screenie, hit ESC, click on all the filters, then resume and take the shot. Just remember what filters you had clicked off before you click 'em all on.

SH4 runs flawlessly with all bells and whistles max'ed out on my Rig. With VISTA, install SH4 (and any other similar Games/programs) into a folder other than C:\Program Files

ASUS P5N32-E
Dual core E6700 Cpu
2GB OCZ PC2 8800 (1100Mhz) RAM
BFG 8800GTX Graphics card 768MB
Audigy2 ZS
4 Seagate 400GB hard drives in a 0+1 RAID array
24" Widescreen LCD Monitor 1920X1200 native resolution
Windows VISTA 32bit

Running Vista x64 for almost one year without problems. SH4 (and addon) runs perfectly fine at max settings, and no problems with mods/UAC if you follow Doolittle81's suggestions.

Your configuration may indeed suffer a bit, but only way to find out is try

It runs like utter crap on my box after i upgraded to vista. The game is fine, untill something blows up real good. When that happens, my rig just doesn't seem to be able to cope. Either the screen blacks out for a bit, or the game crashes. Heck I've even had my PC do cold reboots after hitting a cruisers' ammo magazines. This utterly devastates the game for me

Running Trigger Maru Overhaul and 1.5 on a core2duo6600, gforce 8800GTS320 and audigy rig.

Runs like a dream for me, running Trigger Maru Overhaul and 1.5 on a quad core 3.2GHZ, 4GB 800mhz RAM, 2x 8800GTX in SLI, 2x 500GB SATA HDDs, 1000whz ultra cool psu with Vista 32bit.
I DID have some graphics driver issues with the 8800s in SLI about 8 months ago, but other then that my system has been really reliable and runs perfectly, unlike my old XP system!
