Ship super camo? (probs...)

I-25 · 12-25-08, 04:02 AM

I just goy myself a new laptop (Dell D620) and first thing i did was install SH4, game load up to menu fine no probs at all, so i load up a mission, loads loads, starts up good, im in the internal view and all looks great, so then i jump to the bridge and what do i get? NOTHING! all i see is my own wake, empty ocean and 3 magicly floating watchmen, my 3D ship/land/air models aren't being rendered!

the laptop has a intel 945GM 256MB 3D chipset

id really love to get SH4 running on this good because its the only PC i have that'll run SH4 at a playable rate! any suggestions?

am using SH4 1.03

UPDATE just installed Uboat missions pack V1.05 and now get distorted 3d models with 1/2 screen covering black n' white poligons and CTD in external view

This would seem to be a video card problem. I'm not sure if your chipset is even supported, but in any case make sure your drivers are up to date.

but updated drivers did help in other games a LOT! (SH III)
