Downgraded graphics in Silent Hunter 2

I haven’t run SH2 in a while, but here is how I set up DC. I installed DC from a 2002 disk by running the “Setup.exe” as Administrator and set the compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 3). I allowed QuickTime to install from disk.

PC hardware : Win7 64bit Home, I3-6320 3.9 GHz, ASRock Z270 MB, DDR4 16GB, Samsung dual SSDs, GeForce GTX 1660

Basic patches :
1. Official DC patch v1.1
2. PM patch v 1.03

To this I added Kreigstanz and a wide variety of graphic and sound mods.

Other DC setup notes : I needed to slow down my mouse speed by adjusting it via windows control panel. Resolution set to 1024x768 x32 . I used the higher definition LOD models (available in DLs) and tweaked antialiasing using the Graphic card. I also use the Large Address Aware (LAA) utility to allow older 32-bit games to use more memory on this 64-bit system. hope this helps

btw : To make rain look a bit better try the rainmod2 found in Subsim’s DLs under SH2 graphics. Pic of a Flower Class Corvette in light rain. This model shows an A-frame for an acoustic hammer used for minesweeping on the bow .
