I double click the icon and it gives me an error with three options..

Detail,report and ok

I forget the error code but in the details page it give a .dll issue..

I rebooted the computer and all, nothing!!

WTF!!?!?!
Delete the original download of the patch. Make sure you have the correct patch. I see one that says German and another that just says patch. The English version was I believe 116MB. Perhaps you have the wrong patch.
No, I have the 116mb patch. It just gives me the same error..

I reinstalled the game at lunch and its still not installing the damn patch!
You might have to contact UBI

Default Info on present system running SH4

I have the following system specs:

AMD Athlon 2GHZ~2.4
2GHZ of memory RAM
G Force 6800 128MB DDR AGP 8X

Will I have problems running SH 4 ? Will this run too slow to bother until I upgrade in the future ?

From all the things I have been reading on the others systems and how it runs. The 6800 might be slow but the 2 gig RAM might compensate.

My set up is 3200+ AMD, 6200OC vid card and 1 gig RAM. It runs but everything on low. I would say you are darn close to running it fairly well. Today I'm grabbing a better card.

Well, this game runs terribly on my computer, specs in signature. Tried unchecking all settings except enviromental effects (need that transparent water), and still mad stutters in the light fog, and around 40fps. One would think my system is enough. There is something wrong with that fog, since I get instant 70-80fps below the surface. (nothing in view, not even land)

I have a differnet PC configuration, but just discovered the same ctd when pressing A to level off a dive.

Does any one know if the dev team are working on a second patch?

Ok, she runs great with these specs:

AMD64 3200+
1 gig RAM
ATI X1300 512mb card

It runs better with post processing on Everything else mid line and water glare on.

Is that with or without enviromental effects, avg? That is the killer for me. The sad thing is that I would gladly pass on the fog and stuff, but the translucent water is part of that effect.

Yes, environment is on. Translucent water in effect. The night time glare with the moon and the sun coming up is absolutely stunning.

It truly is a beautiful game with post processing on. I do not believe this game was ment to have AA. I believe AA would ruin the effect of the post processing. Just my thoughts on it.

It is in the options page when the game is open to play.
