Problem with Internet Explorer
I noticed a problem with Silent Hunter IV. My game tends to crash when Internet Explorer is on or enabled. I have Real Fleet Boat installed along the RSRDC plugin for Real Fleet Boat Mod in Silent Hunter IV. I don't know why this is and it is a weird bug I find annoying. Is there a way to fix this? It doesn't crash when Mozilla Firefox is on. I don't know what it does this.
It's so frustrating. Is it an issue with system resources or what? Last edited by Patchman123; 08-13-09 at 09:39 PM. Reason: Needs to be more specific Needs more editing |

Start the game from the sh4.exe not from the gu or auto updater shortcut

Question, why would you have IE open when you have Firefox? Personally the only thing i use IE for is going to Micro$oft's website only. But that's just me.

I gotta agree... I only use IE for my work email - and Firefox for everything else! IE has way too many problems and vulnerabilities to list...

Use Firefox...IE keeps track of your internet traffic with a file called index.dat.You cant find it,you cant read it and you cant empty the folder unless you use scripted software,this is a heavy privacy violation and has been going on for years.
In the U.S people lose jobs over this,you know watching some nature films during a break and your boss snooping in the index.dat file,it has happened. IE is integrated in your Windows software so it causes all kinds of instability.I never had a browser that was that unstable as IE7 was,i dont want 8 because i dont use IE anymore. Firefox and other browsers dont insult your privacy,so use them instead of IE. NEVER IE for me again,even my desktop runs in a virtual mode outside of explorer,i hate it. |

I leave it running for a few days to replicate a voyage. What do you guys do? Does anyone here use time compression? Never mind. I turn on Internet Explorer and days worth of work crashes. I can't fix it. Will going to bed and doing other things during the day and shutting off the monitor and going upstairs to bed ruin my monitor? I go to sleep. I notice other problems in the game, too. For example, I used to be able on the radar to select "sweep" it would sweep the sea like a broom. Now, when I turn the radar back on, it goes back to "focus" again to focus on a particular area of the radar screen. Is there a way to fix? I am hardcore, aren't I?

I use IE 8 on a Vista 64 OS and do not have any issues as discribed here. I do not like FF. But hey, that is just me.
