Projekt Messerwetzer pointless?

Thanks for the recommendations, fellas; I installed PM 1.03, everything went okay, and we're off! It's great being back in those dangerous waters again.

As a tip to those who might be installing the SubSim Hi-Res kit, and are doing so on Vista, be sure to do the following:

1. Accept not only the Hi-Res (1024) checkbox but the PM fix as well *as long as you have installed the above PM 1.03*.

2. I found once 1024 was installed that I had to change the main program's executable (SH2.exe) to Win98 compatibility mode. Otherwise the cursor in the 3D screen became so hair-trigger I could barely use it. Setting the executable to Win98 compatibility made this problem go away.

As far as multiplayer goes, UBI's servers were never the place to play. Onkel Neal's other subsite, the Sub Club http://subclub.info/wpl/ with it's Wolfpack League and Eagle Leage was the place to be. We had some great times there. These days they're doing SH3, and I'm not interested in co-op games, but there are still some interesting people who only hang out there.

Probably the most fun I had with SH2 was using PM and a LAN connection to a friend with Destroyer Command. If you can find a copy of DC and have a friend, give it a try. I'm still hoping for a new version of DC.
