^ what he said, patching 1.2 over 1.1 without first removing the sh4 folder in my docs seems to cause problems. Start fresh...:up:

I did remove EVERYTHING.....did that fix yours?

Yes mine works fine...there is another thread about the hanging problem, sounds like a mod issue with a menu id that no longer exists in 1.2, check that out. :hmm:

Mini Chrono Fix
 

Weird.
I loaded my game up for first time and ran smooth. Second time trying to run i go Menu ID missing. I removed Mini Chrono Fix as stated above and voila, im sinkin ships. Anyway that was my issue was the mini chrono fix! Hope this helps and thanks for the info!

Will be glad to help further. Might be --> Data\Menu\menu_1024_768.ini

My install shows a: menu_1024_768Old.ini too, maybe from GME added mods thou.

Nothing like jumping in the quicksand with you....

I tried the following:
Removed the menu_1024_768.ini file and loaded-up SH4. The red bar gets to about 80-90% then a Windows 'ding'
Alt-Tab you get a message box, "Warning Menu ID not found: 0x2b060000!" Is this what you see? Does your Menu ID missing error show an ident string?

That or any other ID corresponds to the Text ID section in the ini file and will give us a lead into what's missing:

[G2B I137]
Name=Marking lines
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x2B060000
ParentID=0x2B000000
Pos=217,-89,590,590
Zone= 217 679 590 590 5 1 0x2B000001 0.5 -0.5 0x2B060000 -0.5 0.5 0 0
Color=0xFFFFFFFF

Here's a good thread by Seeadler on what files v1.2 changed:

[The l Data\Menu\ section]
Data\Menu\cfg\Dials.cfg
Data\Menu\cfg\OrdersBar.cfg
Data\Menu\Data\Museum_tex.dds
Data\Menu\Gui\Layout\PeriscopeLeftPanel.dds

Menu ID
 

Here's my menu.ini file from the Win XP version, give it a try:

(please backup your original first)

totaly removing everything fixed it for me.

i also went and deleted the ubisoft folder that was left after the uninstal.

then i installed the game (rebooted), ran it. shut it down. then installed the first patch (rebooted), ran the game, shut it down. then installed the final patch and rebooted one more time.

game been working like a dream since then.

another good tip that has nothing to do with the error we were having, is to be sure your game resolution and refresh rate matches the resolution and refresh rate you have your monitor set at. this worked wonders for me and thought it was worth mentioning again!

Good point! :up:

Install Problems
 

Yes scubaDon, had exactly the same problem as you. It's a Vista thing. Everything you install goes into the Virtual Store folder as well! Navigate to this folder and manually delete the SH4 copy directory. You'll find copies of JSGME and your MODS folder for it also!

User/AppData/Local/Virtual Store/Program Files/Ubisoft/SH4

Hope this solves your problem, worked for me:D

Nice work geoffster! :up::up::up:

The 1.2 patch includes the 1.1 patch,so there is no reason to even install 1.1. Having two versions of 1.1 installed may also be causing part of the problem.

Thanks guys..sorry for the delay in response, had to leave town quickly and just got back...I can't find a virual store file anywhere????? I am going to try the sqk ini file and will let you know...as far as matching resolution etc. I can't get that far to check it yet. It kills me before the menu screen, but I think I have the ati set to match my machine and no larger...

Well, ok Japan, I surrender! Tried everything and still bing bong....menu id not found....changed it out with sqk's and even tried to use the bak file....natta...guess I'm stuck playing 1.01 until sometime in the future....I am to the point format c: and shoving vista out the door...never had these problems with XP..too much for an old man I guess. Thanks for all the help though guys...get er done.:damn: :damn: :damn:

I'm still trying...tried to go to www.support.ubisoft.com and their site is down....this is really trumping my mentalityl.

Loading SH4 Problems.
 

I am finding that since the Patch 1.2 being on the game, it has become rather sensitive to any further changes, such as putting on mods, once Patch 1.2 is loaded. I am now getting SUPER RESULTS by "restarting" after each mod is placed on, no matter if its a JGSME, Mini Tweaker or Copy and Paste, Its tedious ...yes...but it seems to do the trick!
