Lol yeah, I hear the Navigator's special abilities include being able to navigate through a three-dimesional void with no stars to steer by. Atleast, that what it says on the official Silent Hunter 5: Battle for the Atlantic Website

I suspect the video memory on your hd4200 isnt helping, maybe worth checking the BIOS to see if it can be set to 256MB or more.

Ok, good news and bad news, moving the install location appears to have worked , bad news is this game runs slow on my rig, between 15 and 30 fps in low settings. It is a much harder game to run than sh4.
I wonder if it utilises hypermemory or not , my card is 256mb dedicated but I have 3gb ram that it should be able to dip into.
Gta 4 has a command line to tell it to use unrestricted memory and I went from 20fps to over 40fps ( at medium settings) , could really use that jump.
On another subject , I don't know how to play this game! It's far removed from 3 + 4 !
