One of the Best Modern Naval Sims
Without a doubt, Dangerous Waters is one of the best modern naval sims to come along in the past twenty-five years. Its attention to detail and the realism it offers are very difficult to beat. The players are not only given the choice of submarines in the simulation, which was the case of its predecessor Sub Command, but now surface ships in the form of the Perry class frigate as well as two aircraft, the SH-60 Seahawk helicopter and the P-3 Orion. Sonalysts, the developer, specializes in combat simulations and has done work for the Navy, which makes the attention to detail expected. However.... Dangerous Waters now has one major flaw; its age and its code. Written originally for DirectX8, the modern machine may have difficulties in running the game. The GOG install contains a critical DLL file that, for many players, resolved the issue of DirectX8 backward compatibility and allowed the sim to run. Unfortunately, there is also a group of players that are unable to get this sim running despite the DLL and other solutions. From my own testing, there appears to be a conflict on some computers with have dual GPU cards and the machine not knowing which card to use, causing unexpected crashes. I also cannot rule out the possibility of modern hardware conflicts also denying players due to less support for older products on the manufacturer's end. If you are looking for a hardcore modern naval sim, Dangerous Waters has dozens of hours of tense adventure waiting for you, but be warned, even with the patches and fixes that players have developed over the years, some computers have an unidentified incompatibility that prevents the game from running. (Tested on two Windows 10 machines and two Windows 11 machines. Windows 10 machines both had NVIDIA Geforce 1060 cards. with Intel graphics. Both ran the game successfully. Windows 11 computer with Geforce 1070 card failed to run the game. Windows 11 computer with Intel only ran the game.) EDIT: 18SEP25 I have supplied a link in the game forum to an alternate DLL wrapper that does work on Win 11 if the game does not work with the DLL provided by the GOG installation.
