I read the bit about installing SH4 in its own folder under a central 'games' folder out from under any windows directories and did that.. it's path is C:\games\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific.

Quirks of the OS (Win10 c1703, 64-bit) seem to dictate the attribute 'read only' does not remain unchecked even tho SH4 is in a seperate path from any windows related folder.

-shrug- .. I have learned over the years that Windoes invariably forgets bits at random or just plain screws up on occasion. It's a wonder it works at all.

I built this machine runnin on Z-gamer mb, Nvidia video card w/4g of its very own ram, Intel i5-4690k processor and 8g of very fast ram to handle Star Citizen . . kinda loafs along runnin SH4 with all the sliders maxed. -just sayin

My brother is still a daily NASCAR 2003 racer. The other day his group raced Talladega and had 45 participants in the race. They do a "race broadcast" on You Tube at least monthly. Amazing that a 2003 program is still the best NASCAR simulation in existence.

I have the latest NVidia driver and now windows 10 1709. The infamous black screen is now resolved. This is with NVidia 387.92. Nice to have it all working now.

yep, no need to use old NVIDIA drivers! Nvidia 387.92 Works great. Thanks for reporting this. By the way: The Windows 10 fall creators update also fixed a driver problem on my Samsung Network Color Laser printer.

@THE BERBSTER.... Thanks for the workarounds. Checking your thread(s) is very helpfull.

Kind regards,

Aniuk

Wow your SSH4 all in one download is so awesome, so easy to mod. Thanks so much for you effort.

THEBERBSTER · 11-01-17, 07:39 AM

Hi
I hope you enjoy it as much as I have putting it together.
For full immersion it needs to be played at 100% or you can cheat a little bit by changing the game play settings to activate the external camera.

Rhodes sent me a PM that I want to share with the community how he got over trying to install SIlent Hunter 4 and getting a black screen.
1. Disable Full Screen Optimization.
2. Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows 7.
3. https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/c...s-10/000063445

Thank you Rodrigo

As this is the first time I've ever installed Mods into this Sim, I found the Installation to be quite straightforward, and quite painless! The LAA Mod really makes a difference in the performance of the Sim; things load quickly and the Graphics are very good.
