THEBERBSTER has all sorts of links and either an eidetic memory, or a really good speadsheet / database to pull his information together in, but he can set you straight most likely, as can at least half of the other folks on the site...

Have you updated your game to v1.2 with Ubisoft? As for TWOs, I would go to the source for install info (seasoned with THEBERBSTER's advice):

don't forget about his recent update also...

My game says v1.2 in the top right corner so that should be fine.
I have looked a couple times through THEBERBSTER his links, but have not yet found what I am looking for.

Forgive my manners Cherry. Like Aktungbby, I should have welcomed you to SubSim first, then got on with business...

In the meantime, if you've got the Creators' Update installed in Win10, that does cause issues with the video driver for some cards, which does cause issues with the older games, SH3, 4 & 5 being older games. All 3 are having issues with this. Some folks have rolled back the update, others have installed different (older) video drivers. That's where THEBERBSTER's advice would be most helpful, since I don't have any of this fancy, new-fangled computer gizmo stuff... - I have an old Duo core quad core thingie that does 2.1 gigaherts, and my graphics sub-system isn't even that new... - That said, if you're running OK in "stock", I can't imagine that being the issue, but I could be wrong (what? again??)...

Also, the game wants your "modern" computer to "match" what it does with the video. So if your display monitor has a "Native resolution" of 1600 x 900 @ 60Hz, then Windows should be set to that, and the game should be set to that. That gets things working together best. Some folks have newer, higher resolution gear, and you might find it difficult to find an exact match, but there might be a mod to help with that, or maybe using a "Window" mode in the game might get you close. One thing about changing video display resolutions in the game is that you have to re-start the game for them to take effect...

No worries about the welcome And thanks Aktungbby.

Okay...so I found out that I have the creators update. So is it a smart idea to find a way to rollback the update?

My apologies for asking so much, I just want to be a part of this great community on my own little Sub

THEBERBSTER has a posting somewhere on the site, but I can't remember if it's in the SH3, 4 or 5 section... can't seem to find it. I just saw it the other day... Anyway, I wouldn't roll back the update. I'd roll back the driver, but I don't remember what you had to do to accomplish that...

OK, duh... very first post in that first link I gave you... wow!

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...09#post2408009

it links to a Living Silent Hunter III thread, but the same applies...

... and then there's the "v-sinc" thing that might help, and is easier to do:

I tried the V-Sync thing, didn't work.
I also tried the rollback, also didn't work.

I would leave the computer alone then, and wait for someone more knowledgeable to come along. It might have something to do with the mod activation process, dunno... Sorry
