Modern Sim

Hi All, I hope I can get some suggestions here.

I played 688(I) on an older computer several+ years ago. But, when I tried it on my new computer, the graphics were crap and it kept locking up. One thing I have to say is that I did NOT go looking for patches for 688(I). Maybe someone knows about this situation

I like the idea of a cold war subsim. My computer is fairly high end and I don't want to make modifications to run a certain program.

I guess I am asking if there is a subsim out there for me that I might not know about.

OR, has someone run into the 688(I) issue and overcome it.

Thanks,
Del

ICQ is helpful if you think I will need step by step help.

I read that people are playing the old version (not the one from the naval pack) of 688 on window XP without a problem, as long as they install the latest patch 1.07 from here (scroll down to the end) :
http://scs.sonalystsgames.com/game_d...downloads.html

And, important to do on window XP, replace the .dll located in the main 688 hunter Killer directory by the ones located in the "Renderware DLLs for Win2000" download from the same page.

If you want to play the old version of 688 on window XP, it is worth a try.
