SH4 dvd Glitches

Marmite eating monster · 07-22-10, 04:14 AM

A few months ago I bought SH4 Gold edition from here : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silent-Hunte...9789169&sr=8-2

It had a bug where all ports were coloured in blue listing them all as friendly even Tokyo, it was very stuttery in terms of graphics http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=171705(not my system specs!) and Multiplayer did not work. Ubisoft support could not help they said the problems were unknown to them. So I was sent a replacement copy by SC wholesale(the seller on Amazon).The port problem had gone but I still had jelly water and multiplayer would not work(tried on several computers).

I bought a backup copy of SH3 from the same seller, the cover is exacly the same as my old copy bought directly from Amazon.co.uk, but the box size is slighly smaller.

I think SC wholesale is selling Fake/Pirated games because all of the games I have bought from them have dvd specific problems.

What do you guys think ?

OK first the port problem sounded like you had SH4 V1.4 not 1.5 which is the Gold/U boat addon. That got fixed you said though so scratch that problem. As for the graphics have you tried any of the super mods like a few suggested in your other thread? Multiplayer not working is nothing new to the community, I don't play MP but I've heard of the problems. Your SH3 box being a smaller size wouldn't be cause for alarm as packaging can change over time. However looking at some of the reviews of the seller on amazon, I personally wouldn't have bought from them. Also didn't see any info about the game as to it's condition; new, used, etc.

I should not have to install a mod to fix my game, I don't want any mods at the moment.

Well, consider the Game Fixes Only mod nonetheless.
It doesn't change the gameplay but fixes lots of annoying or moodbreaking bugs. It also cranks up the graphic quality a bit IIRC.
You already said "shouldn't", but we're in a small niche of the gaming community where Cons don't care for that.

I tried the GFO mod but it made no difference I still have stuttery water.

That happens when you use time compression while in the map and forget to turn it down to 1x before going anywhere else in the boat. Try avoiding that, should help.
Other helpful hints:
Don't save game under water
Don't save game in a fight
Don't save game with time compression on
Don't use time compression over 1024

This should help you evade most of the bugs.
