Silent Hunter 3 Mods

JKF011 · 02-24-16, 03:33 AM

some how didn't download 7. did and game runs but questions:
1. It only seems to run at some resolutions and I have to change my win10 display resolution to match it every time?
2. Game crashed 2x. Once on loading a mission and once when I clocked "surface cruise mode."
3. alarm bell seems to stay on long after "crash dive" order over.

Help?

Not sure on those. What graphics card are you using and are your drivers up-to-date? Some graphics cards may have trouble switching between different aspect ratios and resolutions on the fly, but I haven't heard of that being a major issue. Are you using widescreen settings or just the default GWX install (4:3 aspect ratio)? My GWX install is modded beyond GWX using a widescreen UI so I don't have your same configuration but I'm running Win 10 as well with no major problems. When the game crashes, is it to the desktop or bluescreen?

Drivers are up-to-date for my NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 295. It crashes back to Steam app.

Not sure what to say about that. Next time the game crashes, check the windows event viewer for errors. It may not give us any useful information, but that's the next step I'd try in the troubleshooting process.

Also try setting compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2. That's cleared up some crashes that I have when loading careers.
