Is this mod compatible with the steam version of SH4?
It's been a few years since i've played and fancy diving back in but i've lost my physical copy. |

When doing the install, you will be asked for the path where you would like the game. If you have no other Steam games, you can tell it to install in a folder you created. As an example, "C:\Games". Point the installer at that folder, and you then have SH4 being installed in "C:\Games \Steam \SteamApps \common \ Silent Hunter..." Steam will still end up in the Program Files folder, but your Library folder is now in Games. For more info, consult the Steam Knowledgebase article "Moving a Steam Installation and Games, and if you are feeling adventurous and have other Steam games installed already, you can try kacpro090's trick in Preparing SH4 for modifications. I have not tried that out yet myself, but I do have the perfect machine to try it on one of these days, to see how it goes. A computer with 2 valid hard drives alleviates most of the difficult issues, since you can create a new Steam Library folder without issue - generally. You cannot use an image drive though, that the computer manufacturer set for restoring Windows from... ... and goldmatersims beat me to the punch! lol ![]()

Ok good to know. I have steam installed on a 2nd drive already so no worries there.
I've read on the steam SH4 review section getting SH4 to run on windows 10 is a painful mission, is this true? |

![]() This image is from one of my computers. A partial image of my File Manager is the background, showing the Game folder, with the SH4.exe selected. Right-click on the SH4.exe and then left-click on "Properties" at the bottom of the resultant context menu. That will open the Properties dialog to the "General" tab, where you can clear the "Read-only" tick box if necessary, on that page. Most of what you will want is on the "Compatibility" tab, which is what is displayed here. That top "SH4.exe Properties" window is what you get if you click on the "Change high DPI settings" button on the main window. ![]() The main settings there are the "Disable fullscreen optimizations" (all of my computers), possibly the "Run this program in compatibility mode for" set to Windows 7 (sometimes - 2 of 4 computers here), "Run this program as administrator" (if the UAC is set 'high' - 2 others of four), and the previously mentioned "Change high DPI settings" button. Once on that upper properties page, you usually can get by with ticking the "Override high DPI scaling..." and setting that to "Application" in the drop-down (all of my computers). On one of my computers, I have had to use the tick box under "Program DPI" up top there, and then "Use this setting to fix scaling problems...", which activates the drop-down box in the middle there for "Use the DPI that's set...", and set that to "I open this program". Hopefully, that is enough to be certain of SH4 starting in Windows 10. ![]()

Hello FORTSU team, more bug report.
NBC_Repulse has its M07 and M08 node kinda misplaced, one of it even "seep" into the ship. NCVE_Long_Island 40mmsingle link node do not exist in SH4, change it to another gun perhaps? |

![]() Edit: The Repulse is easy enough to see: ![]() It almost looks like an AuxCruiser's install of the gun... but it's not. Fixed to match the starboard side: ![]() with slight alterations. Definitely a "spelling" issue on the Long Island, and doing testing now.

Testing the patched release now, but I do have to verify that torpedobait's issue is fixed when starting from Cavite. Cannot have a failure there...
Oh my, Jeff, we run SH Validator, and Hebe's mySH3_Tool on it, as well as the Mission Editor and the Museum, as well as some 'custom' tools and set-ups we have of our own, and from some magnanimous benefactor we know ![]() ![]() ![]() Quote:

This took me entirely too long to do (out of practice), but it was fun doing:
That is the Long Island, with the "proper" 40mm added to the eqp file - but this is without the added stack smoke that s7rikeback worked so hard for... barebones FotRSU, preparatory to the "patch", which does have the stacks smoke... btw, for those interested, the first 4:15 are just "posers", with various 'dramatic' shots of the two ships. The shooting starts at like 4:17 if you want to cut to the explosions, fire and mayhem...
