Jittery menu graphics in Windows 7
 
Hello, I recently bought silent hunter 4 on steam and the graphics in some of the menus are, the best word I can come up with is "jittery." I'm wondering if this has occured for anyone else and if anyone knows how to fix it.

I have SH4 with Steam on Win7 and it works pretty fine. Do you have the patch 1.5 (U-boat missions)?

Maybe that's the problem.

Can you tell us a little more about your system there Bob? I'm sure it's a newer system if you're running Windows 7 but a little more info might help us, to help you.
Is your system a Laptop or Desktop PC?
Do you have a dedicated graphics card or integrated graphics?
How mch system RAM do you have?
Did you download SHIV Gold Edition (with the U-Boat Expansion Pack)?
;)

I have the U-boat missions so that's not the problem.

Here are the specs.
Desktop PC
Grahpics card: ATI Radeon HD 5850
RAM: 6 GB
And I did not download the gold edition. I bought the U-boat missions seperately.

Well, your system specs are way over the required toplay the game, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Maybe it has something to do with vertical sync. Did you try to change it to sincronize your video card with the screen refresh rate?

I disabled vsync in SH4 and that fixed the problem, thanks.

Ah, OK, glad you got it squared away. I was about to suggest you go into your graphics card's control panel and start poking around at the settings. I'm glad everthing is copesthetic.:D

So am I. While it didn't make the game unplayable, it was incredibly annoying and hard on the eyes.

Glad it worked out for you , mate!
Enjoy the game!
And after that, install some super mods on it.
They make a great game, greater! :yeah:
