Problem with Internet Explorer

Patchman123 · 08-13-09, 09:38 PM

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?

what version of IE do you have...

I myself never have heard of this?

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...

That's why it's called Internet Exploder....

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.

It doesn't work, it still does it. Any solutions to this problem? I want to be able to run my browser while going on a voyage. It happens. I get an error report from Silent Hunter IV when running Internet Explorer 8.

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.

Do you run it and Silent Hunter IV at the same time?

ETR3(SS) · 08-24-09, 03:59 PM

Let me ask you this. Why do you have IE AND FF?
