Reinstalling after 12+ months - some questions!

BandofBrothers · 12-23-07, 02:07 PM

Hey guys.

I haven't played Silent Hunter 4 since launch day. I was having a few issues with the game, and I have been very busy over the last year or so, started a new job etc etc.

Anyway, I finally got around to building myself a new rig (Q6600 @ 3ghz, 2gb ddr2, 500gb sata II hard drive, 512mb 8800GT, 22" Samsung Syncmaster 2232bw, antec nine hundred case, Corsair HX 620w psu) etc

Okay, so some questions.

1) Has the game performance increased with the patches that have come out since launch? I seem to remember AA\AF killed the fps, and AA didn't work properly if I remember right?

2) What are the "must have" mods for the game? Graphics enhancements are my fav.

3) Is the community still alive & kicking like it was with SH3 years ago

?

4) Also I remember the career thing, where your captain would retire after only a few missions, is there a way around that now? so I can do a lot more missions, like in silent hunter 3?

5) Has anyone compiled any music packs for the grammaphone? with American jazz music etc from ww2 :-)

+ Any other hints\tips\must have info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
