Try this, at night, hit control-n, this will reset the weather, which refreshes the env. files and see if it does anything.

I don't know that I've ever heard of this issue, where the game is totally normal, but night sky is blue like during the day, but I've seen corrupt files change colors of the game.

Again, since you have no mods, etc., I would try reinstalling the game, if it continues after that, least we know the file structures aren't an issue.

Sorry mate, you've been had by the Flim Flam men.

Silent Hunter Five was pulled right out of the box with the periscope in the arcade.

Things that make you go...

I heard the graphics are nice. But we all know that graphics do not a good sim game make. It only covers half the war. No discernable targeting system either. But there were some who made a go of it. YMMV

Call me crazy, but I'd think that's the kind of question you ask before you shell out 20 bucks, not after.

larsonboram · 02-01-13, 07:01 AM

Meh, Regardless of it, I thought it was cheap compaired to first release. 59.99 usd nah not willing to shell that crapload of money out there. I just wanna know if it was worth the 19 dollars

Not to "pop your bubble", BUT:

I looked for a CD version of the Gold Edition and found it on iNetvideo for under $9.00. Received it within 3 days of purchase. I see the price has dropped since I purchased.......down to under $8.00 now!

Scroll down to the bottom of the page, you'll find a CD version of SH5 for only $6.49!! The fact that SH5 is selling for less than the SH4 edition should tell you which version is more popular!

Skip the downloaded version and go for a handheld disk. At the price of both CD games, it's at a fraction of what a downloaded version would be.....without the trouble of kissing their butt when you want to reinstall.

Updated:

Uninstalled, Reinstalled and updated to V 1.4 as i have no u boat missions update

Anyhow, after everything was installed, and updated I still am getting this strange "Blue sky" in the night time events I tried doing CTRL N to reset the weather, same problem, I even tried to use a HDMI Cable for my HD monitor same issue, DVI to HDMI had no noticable solutions.

In any case, I like silent hunter 5 and 4 and look forward to any new silent hunter games. though, I doupt there will be anything other than mods to come out now.

To sum things up,

Dispite my problems that I keep having with this graphical issue,

I notice that without mods (aka Vanilla) SH4 v1.4 seems pretty good. If there are any updates that anybody know's of to remove such a problem as my Issue. Please do not hesitate to pm me, or reply to this post, I will try to show you a picture of what I was talking about in my next post.

(Update of picture: It's a flickering sensation so I can't really get a photo of the picture...think of...1 second it's bright blue crayon style, then the next...normal coloring.)

Updates?

Those cost money to develop and deploy.

My advice would be skip SH V and get a hard copy of SH IV Gold.
That way you can get your UBoote fix and play some decent American Subs. Plus it includes the last patch work from Ubi and will set you up nicely for the super mods. Those mods "finish" fixing the sim.

I'm still puzzled about your blue night sky. Maybe it's Windows 8 not playing nice with your hardware and/or the graphics drivers.
Rumor has it that the next entry in the SH series will be a browser title.
Zynga Zynga!
Subville anyone?
