The last I checked on that... Steam in their combo pack, offers up SH3 (latest version), SH4 in both v1.4 & 1.5 (if you want to do mods for SH4, I strongly recommend ensuring that you grab the v1.5 SH4...) & then finally, SH5. Hope this info helps... M. M.

I already have SH1, SH2, SH3, SH4, and SH5 all on original discs and SH4 U-BOAT as a digital download all work great on this win 10 pc except SH4+U-BOAT which has the mentioned activation problem after working for over 2 years on it. If I buy the steam version with U-BOAT missions is it easy to install duplicate installations on my other hard drives?

I have 3, 4 & 5 through Steam & to be frank, I have a 2 HD set up on My computer... I use the main drive for win, My games library folder (set up out side of either \prog files or \prog files (x86) for obvious reasons... it keeps it out of UAC's grubby evil paws... so I can mod My games as I see fit to do so. The 2nd drive is My notes, mod repository & where I stack the game launchers at... I know that some only roll with 1 HD, so am not sure if how I set things up in the \Games ''library'' will work or not... as I don't have a computer set up with just 1 drive, to test that out on... This set up is for SH4, am NOT sure if the same will work with SH3 or 5... as I haven't tested it out with those SH line ups... That said, I have sh4 ''pristine'' copy in the \common folder & from there, have My SH4 mods in that same \common folder, in a folder named \SH4 megamods. In that folder, I have each copy I modded out, in their respective mod names, like We dive at Dawn!, FotRSU-Nippon Maru, Op. Monsun: Dark & so on... Think I have 5 different megamodded flavors of SH4 total... I copied the guts of SH4, from that ''pristine'' copy (which I finalized the set up after install, by running it to allow for any additional stuff to be done first), I then pasted that into the folder named to the mega I wanted to go with, put in to it jsgme, multiSH4, run MultiSH4 to set up the new save folder naming it to match the mod, closed that, moved on to running the jsgme once, to allow for the 'MODS' folder to be set up. Dropped in all that goes for the mega into 'MODS', run jsgme to active them in the order of that is needed... run Large Address Aware, to assign the SH4.exe 4 GB of RAM, & then send a copy of jsgme, the SH4.exe to desktop so I don't have to go back into the folder to run them & rename them to the mod flavor hope this info helps... M. M.

YIPES! I just looked at my mancave's old games shelf and discovered I have Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific. I have no recollection of having acquired it...possibly the local library's book and games sale some years back Completely wrapped in it's original cellophane....I checked on the game requirements: and it said Windows "XP/Vista only"...so being completely computer illiterate techwise, I typed in

Ubisoft support finnally got back to me, they recognise that I own the game legally and have added further activations to my code keys. SUCCESS!!!! My SH-4 now works perfectly again.

application block by adminstrator error in windows 10
I found this youtube link gives step by step instructions after you follow procedure Silent hunter 4 will run normally. You will also get this error on installing the SH4 1.4 patch for the game. I couldn't find the other thread please share this in other threads concerning windows 10 problems

I would not recommend editing the registry for Silent Hunter. As you have found Arsenius, getting the video stream set correctly will work. Right now, with the ultra-wide, your game setting of 1920x1080 is off the screen to the bottom. To temporarily get around that, set the Main Menu, Options, Graphic Settings to "Windowed". Then restart the game. This will leave black bars to the left and right of the game "Window", but will allow you to reach the bottom and top of the game screen. You might also have to adjust the SH4.exe Properties on the Compatibility tab.

I naturally manually installed DirectX9 from the SH4\DirectX folder and applied the Large Address Aware.exe utility from FotRSU. I also tested various combinations of settings in the SH4.exe compatibility options, but the only one that seemed to work was the one that propbeanie mentions: Change high DPI settings > Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by: Application. So now I'm currently running at least the FotRSU menu screen at 2560x1440x144hz and maximum graphics, using ONLY that particular setting above. Everything else is default/unchecked. And it makes sense that I had to change that setting, because I have both bad eye sight and high DPI monitors, so I scale them to 150%, and I have the "fix scaling for apps" set in the Windows advanced scaling settings. Probably something there that messes with the DPI which makes SH4.exe not work properly. The next step is to figure out if anything else is needed in the compatibility settings to actually run the game and not just the menu :P |

I am going to have to remember where I "hide" this picture, because I just spent fifteen minutes trying to find it again... lol - oldmanitis
The "Disable fullscreen optimizations" might be what you're missing, if you hadn't clicked it. Another thing about the game, is that things would probably be easier to read at 1920x1080, set from inside the game. You could keep your 2560x1440 Windows settings, just set the game lower, since they are both 16:9 resolutions. You wouldn't need the 150% zoom then, which I am not certain the game would run at anyway... |
