Sub Hunter 4 On Windows 8
Just got my new HP Envy dv7 Laptop with Windows 8.
Would like to download Silent Hunter: Wolves Of The Pacific - Gold Edition from Amazon, but am worried that it might not run on Windows 8. I have found my old version of Aces of the Deep will no longer run on oit. |

Silent Hunter 4 and Aces of the Deep are from 2 totally different PC-eras. You just cannot expect similarity in OS compatibility of games that are released at least 12 years apart.
For suggestions on how to install SH4 I suggest you visit the appropriate Subsim forum: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/forumdisplay.php?f=202 |

Welcome to subsim Herr kaluen.
as to your Aces of the deep question it took quite a bit of tuning on my W7 laptop so it is uncertain weather it would work on W8 however i would suggest a program like DOSbox. as for SH4 it should work on W8 with minimum tuning |
