Hello,

Not having been on Silent Hunter 5 for a while i have done a re-format on my PC and had a new Graphics card as well but have been having trouble with SH5 CTD after a new install.

I did not back up my pevious saved games and lost them, so i have to start again, installed Microsoft Directx 9.0 and all seems ok.

Something i can't figure out was when SH5 checked to see if my PC was ok to run it every box was ticked except the Graphics Driver which said i did not meet the req for the game 168.81, my card is a Nvidia GTX 750 Ti and my drivers are up to date,

Is there a way to change this line,

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Roger.

Hi U
The reason you saw that message is because when the game was released it was looking at graphic cards that were around at the time (only required 500mb) that would be compatible with the game.
The modern and current gpu's will not be seen as compatible although they will well exceed the minimum requirement.

Yup! I'm getting the same message from just reloading (several times!) after three years plus a constant annoying 'low memory' occasional game interruption CTD and annoying big map omissions such as the cross for English Blockade (5 AMC's sunk have to find Carrier group) I switched to play offline to save memory interruptions and mingle missions to await the damn game righting itself which it seems to do. I'm stiil using WIN 7 unmodified but thinking Sober's mega-mod. Thank god for SHII, DC, and Aces of the Deep on my trusty alternate WIN 98 old beater-computer to get me through this travail.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies, i was forgetting the game is 10 yrs now,

It has cleared the problem up and so far it's running fine,

All the best,

Roger.

You have to remember that the stock game is broken.
If you like to play with a lot of immersion then take a look at this mega mod.
I promise you that you will not be disappointed.
Highly Recommended SH5 > The Wolves Of Steel Mega Mod > Includes KSDCommander And Working Enigma M4 Machine

Indeed the ol' game is very iffy; I kept getting held up for my last AMC in the Blockade of Germany mission-I sank several but no credit given! so headed back to base one short...only to run aground and sink just south of Scapa(my favorite hunting-ground)! I restarted the mission at the last auto-save-point... sank exactly the same AMC previously denied credit got the credit!!?? and now need only the carrier to complete the two ** mission....I've never seen so many tempting Nelson class BB's (all doing 5 knots) in my life; but have to conserve eels. I'm down to four bow/one stern. If necessary, and hull integrity permitting, I'll forgo an 'end mission' and merely 'refit' for a swift return to the fray at closest Heligioland port. In real life, I'd be out of food by now: it takes a lot of Olaf's special meals to keep sonarman's Benno's morale high enough to tell me where 'hidden enemies' R at! Too bad there's no mod to ship a temperamental crewmen to the Russian front!
