New pc - new installation SH4

Red Devil · 08-29-14, 05:53 PM

Just been installing SH4 on a brand new pc and have put the mods in. But noticed in the FJB colour maps I installed, that the home base 'anchors' are huge! How is this, they were ok on my last pc?

Resolution settings? Did you set the game up to your new systems screen size and then restart the game? Is the mod usable with widescreen resolutions?

full res and max screen

SH4 is being an naughty boy, I'll have to uninstall and try again, send it its room, with no supper!!! Not sure what wrong but crashing during game play.

Does it act the same without the mod? Sounds like a driver issue. New hardware and latest drivers are not always backwards compatible to software this old. The mod you talk of does have a different GPU shader code, so could be due to some incompatibility. But it is best to rule out if it is the mod or not.

Red as said make sure your new system is fully updated. Almost all pre-built systems are in need of updates when purchased. Check your graphics drivers, motherboard drivers, sound drivers and even the motherboard BIOS is up to date.

Oh and what OS are you using?
