strange problem

rein1705 · 10-16-15, 06:26 PM

Greetings shipmates.
I've recently gotten back into SH4 and have it installed in a new computer. long story short, it was working great with TMO on and today it will start up but it stops signal to my monitor, just like I unplug it from HDMI but when I ALT-TAB out it comes back on (the monitor, not SH4) what did I do?

Welcome back! Need more information: OS? Hardware? Drivers? Where did you install SH? What source for SH4 (Steam or CD)? Too many variables to even guess at the problem.

ah, thanks.
I'm running windows 7 pro, 64 bit. I got SH4 without U-boat missions from Amazon, then installed the U-boat Add-on from same. they were separate downloads.
The game is located at:
[Program files (x86)/Ubisoft/Silent Hunter Wolves Of The Pacific.]

My system is a home build
it uses an Athlon 5150 quad core
I have 8 gigs DDR-3 RAM
a NVidia G-force 610 clocked up to 900mhz
Driver V 344.60

The Mods :
T.M.O (overhaul) 2_5
environmental 5.0 mod
REL_Trigger_Maru_
REL_Trigger_Maru_GFX_PAK_2_1
new narwhale K v 1.8.5
narwhale graphics support
narwhale T.M.O 2.5 support

Everything was working fine the day before yesterday. I cruised up the coast of Luzon and attacked several TTs and ran around from Dec 9 to Dec 17 1941, hours of game time...
then I come home from work yesterday.... no joy.

Sounds to me like it might have something to do with your gpu. I would suggest removing the OC on the gpu for the moment and see if SH4 will play normally with the gpu at normal setting.

One other thing I see and that is where you have the game installed. Now some people say it doesn't matter and others say it does. But try re-installing the game to another place on your c:drive other than C:\Program Files (x86). See if things improve.

One other thing and I'm not sure about this one. You have the environmental mod installed before RSRDC. I believe that RSRDC should be installed first before the environmental mod, but here I'm just guessing.

I hope you solve your problem and someone has the correct answer for you.

Thanks for your help. I'll reinstall and tune down the clock on the GPU, see what happens.

hey. hate to keep an old thread going but I have a new issue. I have the game and trigger running great (2.5 TMO). I'm experiencing a lack of deck guns for the fleet boats. now I know I've seen this problem happen to others but its a first for me. what do I do to get the deck guns back on the fleet boats?

there are AA guns but no deck guns to equip in port.
