Hmmm..."ARPcache"...interesting. Can't say what the different location might signify. Of course, I am using VISTA and that might (probably) be different than other OS versions, XP etc....

Doolittle, stick to your guns, man! PC Pitstop, PC World, PC Magazine and a plethora of others have warned that you use the registry auto-cleaners at your peril. They may do just what they say, but you'll never know unless you manually check it out anyway. Your computer may just refuse to boot. Or they may not really clear what you want cleared.

Only hands-on manual manipulation unambiguously gets the job done. Anything else is little better than wishful thinking.

:yep: Agreed. Manual manipulation is always best ... even when it comes to installing SH4 mods.

Thank you, if it wasn't for you all of us hillybilly rednecks in Alabama that game would have never found out how to play!

I wish the gaming companies could fix all their problems before they started selling them :arrgh!:

Selling the games or the problems????:o :damn:
:D :D :D :D :D
:rotfl: :rotfl:

Don't give them any ideas:D

Finally! My unexplained crashes drove me to completely uninstall SHIV and not reinstall it. I must not have been the only one suffering through this...(well, while SHIV was still on the HD):roll: . Are there any bug fixes in the 1.5 thing?

Well, actually SH4 was wonderfully stable in the 1.3 and 1.4 patches. Almost all the time when the game crashed then and now was stupid mod tricks. This is where you accidentally uninstall mods out of order producing conflicts in your configuation files. Even very experienced players have had it happen. I include myself here. That's why I jumped on Doolittle's great post in an obscure thread and pressed to have it stickied here.:oops:

Actually it is much harder to mess up your game with the newest version of JSGME, which shades mods that heve been walked on by subsequently installed mods in gray. Mods which can safely be uninstalled in any order are listed in black. When you uninstall a mod that overwrites part of a previously installed mod, the mod it was overwriting turns black (if yet another mod is not still tramping on it). Mods in black are safe to remove. I've done some pretty complex setups and teardowns and had no problems with the new JSGME. Go get it and save yourself some headaches!:up:

There seems to be at least one new bug: in multiplayer, Random setups cause all but the host to crash.

[quote=Rockin RobbinsWell, actually SH4 was wonderfully stable in the 1.3 and 1.4 patches. ...[/quote]

Not for me. I patched and played and crashed for no obvious reason with every patch. 1.4 was the same as the others. I do enjoy using the mods the creative guys work on and really can't see playing without a few. I don't remember unistalling any before any crashes. I asked for help on this forum but never had anyone reply,... so off the HD it went. You are the first to offer up any sort of advice and I thank you !!:cool:

That's sad! I asked if there were any bug fixes in the U-boat thing and you say there is an additional bug .....:cry:

It works!
 

It worked for me!

No change here.
 

[quote=rhohltjr]I went ahead and reinstalled using the newest JSGME and all "seemed" to work better, however I had a very familiar CTD after crossing the Pacific and ending up in Tokyo Bay. Just like always.

AMD Dual Core 5600, 8GIG ram, XFX 8800GS vid card, WinXP 64.
RSRDC 1.4. various uniform and medal mods, sea floor mods. Air layer mod.
3000 yard tool mod.

Have you tried pulling out your mods one by one to see if one them has a conflict? For instant if the air layer mod has a kind of airplane that doesn't fit the game database, as soon as one of that airplane comes in sight the game will CTD. You'd have to talk to a modder for a better explanation.

Play the game totally stock. Then as everything works OK (I hope), plug in your mods one at a time until you have your problem. That's the one!

Still having trouble reinstalling sh4
 

I am having trouble reinstalling SH4, I followed all the instructions listed and I can not find the hot key uninstall entry to delete( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall{{0D005F09-A5F4-473B-A901-5735C6AF5628} key, the only HKEY entry that I can find even close to SH4 is for SHIII. I have removed all directorys and or files relating to SH4, the weired thing is I incert the SH4 dvd/cd and nothing happens, I can not access the software disk at all, it is like the drive is empty.:nope: I am running windows xp sp, nvidia video card.

Does SH4 have some kind of software protection program that was installed during the sh4 game install???

Help please!!!:damn:
