- - SH4 On Steam (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=254821)

I have had to remove SH4 Steam, crashes, sound problems (buzzing in speakers) and maps going weird (not changing after removal from JSGME, reboot, and install new map. All the time, with two sep saves, the disc based SH4 carried on normally.

Amen, for now :doh:

Did you use MultiSH4 in the Steam game folder, and set the Save folder to something different from your disk install? It almost sounds like either your mod was trashed by windows (what is the path to your Steam Library folder on that K: drive? Just "Steam Library \Silent Hunter... " ?? No "Program Files", correct? You might also have had a "Steam verify of game files", where Steam changed the modded game back to Stock on you, which would not be compatible with a previous Save in a modded game... If both installs (disk & Steam) are using the same Save folder (C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH4), then that is the trouble. You cannot do that.

If you purchase SH4 via Steam do you still need to authenticate with Ubisoft when playing the game?

No you don't.

yes mate, and exactly as you told me. I had two empty saves, 001 and 002. No connection twixt disc game and steam game, both had two new subs operating out of Manila 1941. I tried removing pacific sound mod and rebooted to see if the buzz would stop, it didn't. I even tried to reinstall Steam game after deleting it and all folders and rebooted, but buzzing still there, but not on any other steam software. I took it out and tried again, this time no mods - still buzzed. The disk game is running perfectly. Loads of other games in pc, big and small, none have this noise. Everything else on K is fine, incl other steam games in K:\\games\. I spent too long on this problem, so will give it a rest for a couple of days.

path: K:\\steam library\steam apps\common\silent etc

disk ver:

C:\\games\\silent\

Yes it will.

Did you remember to delete the SH4 folder by hand in your "my documents" folder before trying anything?

yes. I'll give it another go in a day or two.

^ Thanks :up:

I didn't have a problem getting the program to run. first time fresh install from steam. But I am amazed following the directions on the SH4 Steam forum how the level of detail has increased and I think the animations in the menus weren't working before either. :hmmm:
