More Technical Problems

trenken · 03-04-06, 01:31 PM

Well, I've reached my breaking point with this game. I've had nothing but constant problems with it since I got it. And I just reinstalled the game because I was having problems, and now every time it gets about 95% though the loading process, it crashes. I have to look around a see if there any other decent sub sim games out there.

update graphics card? reformat comp?? I never had this, its probably your comp dude..

trenken · 03-04-06, 01:42 PM

Nothing has changed in the machine. This crashing is just a new thing that started. All my machine specs are well above the recommended game specs.

trenken · 03-04-06, 03:04 PM

This is unbelievable. I just reinstalled yet again and i'm having the same problem. I'm giving up on this now. This is the absolute worst PC game I ever spent money on. I've never had one problem with any PC game I ever bought. I've had nothing but problem after problem with this one. I can safely say I will not be purchasing SH4.

Thanks to all who helped me with my questions in the past.

Have tou deleated Silent Hunter III file in /programs/ubi & clean out old keys in regedit before reinstall?

trenken · 03-04-06, 03:13 PM

I deleted everything in Program Files. Thats it though. Didnt do anything with regedit. Dont know how to do that.

donut · 03-04-06, 03:38 PM

I use Registry Mechanic ,google to find works for me $29.95

trenken · 03-04-06, 04:21 PM

I downloaded and purchased it. How do I find out if there is any Silent Hunter entries? Or do I just do a scan and it should take care of everything for me?

Treken -

i havent yet insalled the game (should receive it in the next couple
of business days), but think this is the best sub sim since "Aces of the Deep" which I think is the measure mark....

Give the game a chance... the folks on this forum can help you get it running... give them the opportunity, and you will not regrett it.

I dont mean the worst as in its a bad game, I just mean its very buggy. It almost feels unfinished to me. Its definitely not as refined as other PC games out there. They dont even let you swich the screen resolution which has been a standard feature for many years now.

Ive had it for 2 or 3 months now, and there is just a lot of issues im having with it. I cant get the game to run at 1280X1024 with the patch. I went though all the steps for XP SP2 and it just doesnt work. My anti-aliasing doesnt work right anymore. It used to look fine, and just stopped working right. Normally I change it in my card settings, but now when I do this, everything gets really blurry. And nothing has changed. This just happened on its own. So I have to stick with everything having jagged edges which looks horrible. My sun only glows on a rare occation. Usually its just an ugly white disc in the sky. I played with trying different drivers, turning on and off AA and it just works when it feels like it.

Thats just barely scratching the surface of the issues ive had. And now all of a sudden the game wont even start up. Its the most frustrating experience ive ever had with a game.

CasperImproved · 03-04-06, 04:47 PM

Treken - I feel for you... many cutting edge games cause system issues.... and No, I can't yet help you with this one as I have not yet installed it.

BUT... Since this game is many times ahead of it's peers (and I did research the topic), you should spend the effort to make it work. I have several games that work well off of initiall install, but none for me will make me happy as much as a good sub sim..... post your issues on this forum, and I am certain you will have your issues resolved... just make sure you include details. System config (monitor, video adapter, memory, and drivers) are usually the cause of issues.

My last

PC had problem after problem in the end I gave up and bought a new one. Hope you can sort the

problem out.

donut · 03-04-06, 05:20 PM

would like to know processor speed & graphics card, does it have 256 ram post here please thanks,also ram total.

trenken · 03-04-06, 05:24 PM

AMD Athlon 2ghz
2 gigs RAM
nVidia 6800 with 512 video memory

The specs are fine and the game has been running fine for 2 months. I was having some issues in the game, so I decided to do a reinstall, and now when I get about 95% through the loading, it crashes.
