Some SH4 Questions

It may be best to just Quit to Windows and restart SH4 when starting new career(s)

I have a Saphire HD 3850 graphics card and I find that if I update the drivers and Catalyst Control for it, a lot of things screw up. I even wrote on my CD case for the installation, "Do not upgrade drivers or catalyst".

So what sort of drivers are you using now?

The ones that come off the CD.

Did you set up SH4 in its own folder, c/whatever/ubi or did it install to default location?

Its just installed in my default Steam location, which is D:\Steam\steamapps\common\silent hunter wolves of the pacific\

Just a sidenote reg. ATI... running 4870x2 here and always update to newest driver. No issues what so ever - problem(s) must be somewhere else...

Have a nice day!

Sometimes ATi driver overwrites to the stock driver without actually replacing it. I experienced this with elder cards...

Its good to know which driver version dont cause issues with hardware or conflicts..

In my makeshift system restore DVD, I included the working, flawless version of Catalyst..

IMHO, Catalyst driver is not the best, and ATi cards generally are flawn with issues related to the drivers..

Nvidia, on the other hand, has less issues as most game devs include an optimisation tweak on the DVD...
