Download Sub Culture (Windows)

For anyone having issues with game speed (sub going very slow or too fase, environment being to fast etc) I found a way to fix it - had this issue on my setup, now it's gone.
Instead of nglide use dgVooDoo. Download it, place the dgVooDoo/3dfx/x86 files into the Sub Culture game dir. Then run the dgVooDooCpl.exe (ensure to set the Config folder to the Sub Culture game dir), right click on the empty space next to the DirectX tab and click "Show all sections of configuration". A new tab will appear "GeneralExt". In it, there is Miscellanneous section and FPS limit. Set it to 30 (30 frames per second). Ensure you have NOT set the Force vSync in Glide tab. Now run the game with sc3dfx.exe. If you see 2 curours (the system one and the one within the game) just Alt-tab and then alt-enter to go back to the game. It should be gone.

I can get the game to work on either an 86Box virtual machine or the nGlide wrapper, but in either case there is no music in-game, and no cutscenes in 86box either.

I have the same issue as other commenters:

1. Installing this on Windows 10 works fine with the original (non-rip) ISO when copying all the files from the ISO into a local folder and then using a InstallShield3 or 5 Engine (Is3Engine or Is5launcher) setup.exe from the ReactOS Forums to replace the older one in the Install/Windows/ folder of the ISO. After that the setup runs just fine.

2. The game runs in slow motion on newer CPUs, just like other commenters mentioned. I haven't been able to get any further than this. Has anyone managed to run this flawlessly in Windows 10 without the submarine slowing down to a crawl? It runs fine on a virtual machine like PcEM or x86Box, but not directly on Windows 10

another game from my childhood, everything went ok, the installation, music and cutscenes works great, until i started playing, the game is slow and very choppy fps, not even dgvoodoo2 program can fix this issues. then i find out it's somehow it's tied to the MHZ speed of the cpu (which is something i never heard of, very weird and unusual for a game) and i'm not risking playing with my cpu setting just to fix one game. so i installed it on my older pc and it works with no issues.

Here's a tutorial I created to play this game in WINE with UBUNTU. I got it working just fine:

Hi WALRUS,
the problem with the slow game is a old timing query by the most Ubi-Soft games. The solution is quite simple. Got under Windows 10 to the settings = system = energy safe option = energy settings = setup for energy safe = extendet option = now go down to the porocessor energy setup = and set the percent to 13% or less, that the main speed from your PC is by 350MHz, than the game runs in normal speed. Is you frequency to high, than the game runs very slow, that is very funny ;-)

The music wont play at all and cutscenes are missing, controls seem messed up too as I cant change tools nor use the suck-o-matic

If the turbine/engine sound of your sub annoys you, you can replace it.

Go to the installation directory, subdirectory "waves". Find "PROP3.RAW" and rename it, e.g. to "xPROP3.RAW" as a backup. Then copy the "PROP4.RAW" and rename the copy to "PROP3.RAW". Basically, you replace the PROP3 sound with the PROP4 sound which is much less annoying.
