Hi!

i have a little problem with the game. the crew members looks funny. they are all purple and some of them are invisible

also there is no water around the sub. it`s actually floating in the air! and the horizon bug`s very badly!

i dont know were the problem is..
i have updated my geforce drivers but it still wont work.

computer specs:

amd athlon 1.66ghz
geforce 4 mx 440 64mb
512mb ram

and yeas, i know it`s a lousy computer.

i but some pics later today of the game with the bug.

That's the problem. The video card doesn't support PixelShader 2.0, which is required for the game.

Something that helps with what I call 'memory leaks'...
Game won't dump or overwrite un-used graphics data...

When leaving port, don't goto the bridge, it will only fill your cards memory with data you won't need.
My view sometimes goes nuts on returning to port.

If it happens at sea, after seeing too many different types of ships... by all means, I save, exit, and restart the game. (restarting the puter might help also, u test).

Aside from upgrading the vid card to something like a 6800 or so, another 512 of RAM will help a lot. I just upped mine to 1 gig and the game runs smoother now.

now i have a new problem.

i uppgraded my video card: geforce 6600gt 128mb and more memory 1,5gb. now i can play the game for abot 2-30min and then it crashes to the desktop. it says: sh3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. and the following files will be includedin this error report: c:\docume~1\pasi\locals~1\temp\149a_appcompat.txt
