Hello folks, I seem to have run into an odd problem with SH4 and such.
A back story is needed, to flesh some things out. I have had my copy of SH4 since earlier in the year, June or July I would guess, and I never had a problem with it. Early November my computer takes a hard hit. Windows 32 becomes corrupt, my PC is toast. I manage to get it running again only a week ago and of course re-install SH4(and the U-boat missions). So, problems I noticed from the get-go, SH4 runs like mud, I can no longer run it on high graphics and even on low it still stutters and lurches. I assume that is just left over from my computers crash, I'm rather sure that my graphics card, and other computer innards are irreversibly damaged. Oh well, I can't do anything about that, and I know none of you can.
But perhaps you all can help me with this, the game ran for one day, it worked, kinda- as i stated, like mud, stutter, lurchy, it lagged, etc etc. But now on day 2 the game won't even start. It loads roughly 1/4th of the way on the loading screen, then locks up and freezes. I can not tab out of the window, my computer needs to be physically turned off. I first noticed this when trying to run OM600, which I has successfully ran earlier in the day. So I tried to run the game vanilla. Same result. I have reinstalled the game 3 times, it still refuses to work.
I don't quite know what to do, so anyone have any ideas?
