There are a few issues with Silent Storm and its sequel Sentinels, especially on more recent operating systems.
Issues and Fixes
Unsupported Video Card
The game is normally unable to run on modern systems running a 64 bit OS with 4GB+ RAM, and will give the error "Unsupported video card" on launch, but this can be fixed with relative ease. Firstly ensure your game is updated to version 1.02. You will now need to find a cracked game executable in order to apply the fix, which will not be linked here for legal reasons but can be found and downloaded without much difficulty.
You will now need to open the .exe using a hex editor. For the original game, go to offset 0x9bae (or 39854). Which should read as follows:
- 00009B90 00 FF D3 52 57 FF 15 38 22 8B 00 8B 45 A4 50 E8 ...RW..8"...E.P.
- 00009BA0 1C C4 3C 00 83 C4 04 E9 01 0D 00 00 3B C7 74 2E ..<.........;.t.
- 00009BB0 B9 F7 51 00 00 8D 75 A4 E8 53 FE FF FF 52 BA 6B ..Q...u..S...R.k
Replace the highlighted 0x74 with 0xEB and save. The game should now run normally.[1]
For Sentinels, search for "3B C7 74 2E" in the game .exe using a hex editor, the same offending string, and again replace 0x74 with 0xEB.
Alternatively the above fix can be applied as a fan-made patch (Direct Download)Template:CitadelFile for S2.
