Sub Command on Win 7

clive bradbury · 04-02-10, 07:04 PM

I've recently upgraded to Win7 64-bit. I can't get SC to work, but DW runs fine. No widescreen support, so I run it in a window.

Ah bugger. That's my hopes of getting back into Sub Command scuppered then if it doesn't run on Win7

Well, I might be tempted to give it a go then. I had a copy but my brother lost it a few years back so I reckon i'll have to get it on Steam as part of the "classic naval pack" I can't just buy SC on its own....no that would be too much like common sense on Steam's part!!!

You could try installing XP in a virtual machine and then install SC in it. If you have Win7 Profesional, Enterprise or Ultimate you can also use XPmode, which is a preinstalled virtual machine you can download from Microsoft.

I bought it and it works perfectly fine with Windows 7. But i'm going in circles on the 3rd tutorial mission. The TMA stuff with the "stacking the dots" bollocks really doen't make any sense at all. The guy's talking about old and new bearing lines and stuff and I have NO idea which is the new or old bearing lines :S I've gone through it several times and always end up quitting at the stacking the dots point because I just don't have a clue.

Not the best tutorial to be totally honest. Does anyone know of any decent tutorials/videos/guides somewhere that actually makes sense?? I don't even know how i'm supposed to stack the dots....am I meant to get them stacked in the centre of the orange line on top of eachother as best I can?? And why is there 4 lines there in the tutorial for the Sierra 1 contact when you're following one contact?? Arhhh!!!!

Sheesh Silent Hunter methods were childs play compared to this.....

You can buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/Strategy-First...3044066&sr=1-5

And just get SC for 15 bucks USA.

I am running it well on windows 7 64 bit. But some sounds like crew member sounds, sonar sounds, torpedo\missile launch sounds are missing. Also no in game music but music is ok in main menu. Also the training mans sounds are ok and all the button sounds. Is this normal? In the sound options menu it says 'Attempt to support 3d sound in hardware failed'. Did anyone experienced this issue before?
Thank you in advance...
