Difficulty settings problem
Greetings,
I have the Ubisoft version installed from a disk and patched to V1.4. The problem is i try to have a custom difficulty which is 66% but when i select the features i want and press save changes then return to the game it reverts to 42% and seems no way to change this. Can someone help me with the correct sequence of how to make a custom difficulty selection persist throughout an entire game. I did select the wanted 66% before starting the game, pressed save but in gameplay notice things like fuel and battery remain forever at 100% so i know the settings have not persisted. So how is it possible to set custom settings and have them persist ? Sorry if it sounds a dopey question ....... Kind Regards, |

So there's two places to set your realism settings. One is in the main menu under Options. The other is in the career office on the bookshelf to the left, the clock/radio looking thing. The only way to change your career settings is via that clock/radio in the office.

Thanks for the answer ..... but i've tried from the main menu where the changes do not persist.
Never yet tried from that location in the office though i will even though it means waiting till docking. In the main menu where i have tried it seems straightforward .... select the changes with appropriate ticks then press save changes then exit by pressing BACK .... that seems the only possible procedure yet when reloading a save the settings are again 42% ...... i dont understand how and why this happens. |

@CB,
I'm fairly new to this so I'm guessing, have you deleted the SH4 folder in your documents then change the settings and see if that works, I'm under the impression your settings are saved from the previous game? Col.

the only comment i will add to PB's comments is that GamePlay options are also affected by the Degree of Difficulty that you choose when you start your career. good luck.

Success with "office" settings.
Thanks everyone,
I tried the "office" settings and it works. The selected changes persist so it works. At the start of the game i thought the settings from the main menu were the ones which would follow a career but apparently not and it's only those from the clock radio thing in the office which works. |
