SH2 Revisited

Red Devil · 07-13-09, 12:36 PM

Sorry, can you move this to classic - SH2 - thanks

I recently made a small contribution to the forum and in reply received some links back to SH2 Pacific Aces. Strange I thought, surely thats all dead and buried now?

Then thought, why not install it on my XP SP2 laptop and I can play it now and then. Ah, all those installation headaches came flooding back!! The black screen which only a 3 finger salute will remove, the script error message boxes popping up when try and run any scenario!!

So I installed:

SH2
Pacific Aces RC4
PA patch 1.1
PA patch glitch fix

- didnt work so then installed

SubSim HiResComb_11SP1.exe

so, anything missing/wrong?

Hrm no idea been so long.

Will it even run on xp? or does it need a dos box?

ETR3(SS) · 07-13-09, 01:52 PM

It runs on XP no problem. Just make sure you install the 1.1 patch i think it is for SH2. That patch makes it XP compatible.

Red Devil · 07-13-09, 03:18 PM

Is that the SH2 patch 1.1 or Pacific Aces patch 1.1? I had already installed the latter ?

It does not always run on Xp depending on your system. Mine will not run after I upgraded my video card, well it runs, but with corrupt text. DC would not even install after the upgrade. I haven't tried to reinstall SH2 to know, but I would assume if the installer runs OK, your good. The black screen is the blanker which you can stop with Ctl-F4, or Alt-F4 oops.

The SH2 1.1 patch or 1.01 or whatever its called.

SH2 even runs on Windows 7 but you have a super fast mouse in game.

think I may have to start again:

I have installed SH patch as above but get to mission loading and get this:

Tue Jan 29 11:46:56 2002
Error -1 (m_boundinfbox.m_rxmin < -100000.0f]
Directx code "unrecognised error : )xffffffff"
F:\Devel\Janus2\Portable\Sources\RNcode.cpp
Line 205

Dix X is up to date by the way

Oh yeah, and the dreaded blank screen is back!!!

I would reccomend checking and double checking the drivers for your specific video card.

F: ??? partitioned? Portable drive? F: ???

Red Devil · 07-18-09, 09:08 AM

I de-installed everything, and cleared registry of any references (used a specialist prog)

Installed SH2
Installed SH2 patch 1.1
Installed Hi Res patch for SH2
Installed PA
Installed PA Patch 1.1
Installed PA weather

Got sunk by invisible destroyer! Which did not show up until about 100 yards off stern but was on sonar (I was on silent running)!!
Bloody weather!!!!

SteamWake · 07-18-09, 09:41 AM

Glad you got it running.

I dont know if I woulda gone through all that. After all I can get sunk by destroyers in the mist in sh4

Red Devil · 07-18-09, 10:10 AM

Back to training school I feel, get used to the retro controls again!!! I have completed several war careers in SH4 though, on my pc. Destroyers are actually more 'predictable' in SH4.
