SH4 Install Questions

[Rockin Robbins]

Welcome to Subsim! You're going to love this place and SH4!

Silent Hunter 4 has to be installed on the computer. It can't be run just off the DVD. According to the license it must be installed on one machine only, multiple copies must be purchased for multiple machines. With the ultra cheap prices for SH4 Gold, that shouldn't be much of an issue.

I'd install it one one computer until you get the gaming computer built, uninstall from computer 1 and install again on the gaming computer. You're going to love it.

The learning curve is kind of steep (my brother is appalled at how steep, but he plays Nascar 2003, which is a VERY steep learning curve too). Take it slow, use the easy modes to get your sea legs. When the game gets sort of routine and feels stale then its time to take up manual targeting. Suddenly it's a new game that never gets old!

I recommend playing the game stock until you know its controls and habits as second nature. Then start learning the mods. Take it easy. Quit when you're getting frustrated and come back another time.

Mostly, have fun!
