Hey newbie here in first post on the Radio Room. There seems to be newbie threads in every thread but no thread devoted to newbies...so here goes.
I’m familiar with 688(I) and have now just installed SH4 Wolves and am studying things on this forum.
I picked up a very reasonably priced copy of SH4 WoP recently and then let the Game Shadow utility do its thing. It produced such a large patch that I was wondering if I have an older copy that may still have the StarForce copyright protection on it. I’m actually afraid to try to copy a DVD now!
Anyway I’m on an ACER Aspire 6920 laptop: os/Vista and I can say all seems to be OK.
Intel Core 2 Duo (2.0 GHz 2MB) 358MB Mobile Intel Graphic Media Accelerator X3100 4GB RAM) and the graphics are just fine with me. I shut everything down before loading the game from its normal set up. Also the upgrade patches from Game Shadow went to the proper folder (I think)... as I can see some changes.
I have some questions to anyone: seems the curser is a bit sluggish in certain stations ie the periscope, but not in others...is that a graphics card issue? All other displays seem well painted and quick. Also noticed a cool angle scale on the attack chart in a tutorial...is that a mod or add on?
My apologies if I didn’t search this topic more thoroughly; the search feature gives many threads that do not display this specific topic.
Thanks for you help in advance and I know I’ll be studying here for a while.
