SH2 Revisited
Sorry, can you move this to classic - SH2 - thanks
I recently made a small contribution to the forum and in reply received some links back to SH2 Pacific Aces. Strange I thought, surely thats all dead and buried now? Then thought, why not install it on my XP SP2 laptop and I can play it now and then. Ah, all those installation headaches came flooding back!! The black screen which only a 3 finger salute will remove, the script error message boxes popping up when try and run any scenario!! So I installed: SH2 Pacific Aces RC4 PA patch 1.1 PA patch glitch fix - didnt work so then installed SubSim HiResComb_11SP1.exe so, anything missing/wrong?

It runs on XP no problem. Just make sure you install the 1.1 patch i think it is for SH2. That patch makes it XP compatible.

Is that the SH2 patch 1.1 or Pacific Aces patch 1.1? I had already installed the latter ?

SH2 even runs on Windows 7 but you have a super fast mouse in game.

It does not always run on Xp depending on your system. Mine will not run after I upgraded my video card, well it runs, but with corrupt text. DC would not even install after the upgrade. I haven't tried to reinstall SH2 to know, but I would assume if the installer runs OK, your good. The black screen is the blanker which you can stop with Ctl-F4, or Alt-F4 oops.
