SH series on Windows 10 working

fitzcarraldo · 08-07-15, 08:47 PM

Dear mates:

I installed my previously reserved Windows 10, actualizing from Windows 7.

SH3, SH4 and SH5 working OK.

I didn´t try Dangerous Waters yet.

Best regards.

I'm actually having trouble, Installed sh3 and saved on my C drive, but when it was done installing it gave me an error message with the code "1628" and when I tried to open sh3, it gave me an error message saying that a file was missing.

I don 't have an answer to that. Sorry. My SH3 installation was in my PC before my change to Windows 10. After Windows 10 installed all works fine.

I have the OS in a solid state unit and SH3 in a hard disk. All in the same PC but in different units.

Best regards.

I tried installing WIN 10 last night, but my computer refused to download it. I'm running WIN 7 on an iMac via Bootcamp. Maybe that's the problem.

Same here. Win10 on a SSD (C: ) and SH3 on a hard drive (D: ) No troubles encountered.

Yeah, I don't have an SSD or another hard drive, just the C drive.

I finally installed WIN 10 on my iMac with Bootcamp. It seems to work okay, but doesn recognize my Apple mouse's "wheel", and that makes scrolling and zooming somewhat difficult. I suspect the problem is the wrong driver.

I'm with PETC. I just switched from XP to Windows 7. I am far from considering Windows 10.

Poll: Installation of SH3 on anything later than WinXP (Vista, 7 / 8 / 10...)

Would you mind telling me why not to create more threads on this topic?

I am definitely having trouble with WIN 10. The problem is that I'm running it on an iMac with Bootcamp. All my gear is Apple. The problem apparently is that the Bluetooth driver that worked perfectly well on WIN 7 does not work on WIN 10. That means my Magic Mouse can no longer use its wheel. That is a pain.

In addition, I now can't open any of my saved games. I'm not certain that's a WIN 10 problem, because I had it happen before while running WIN 7.

I just REALLY with SH 3 was available for Mac!

I haven't played for ages and, as I'm on a new PC I treated myself to for my birthday, I've not had Silent Hunter installed before on this machine.
Using the guidelines in this thread - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=212323 I've got the game installed and running at patch level 1.4b.
One issue I did have on first start up was an error "Can not initialize 3D " After trying a couple of recommended fixes that didn't work I let Win 10 diagnose the problem - it says run in in WinXP SP3 compatability, and that worked!
So I've got the game working, I just need to add a few more patches and mods from the community here and I'll be off!
