Problems with 1.4 upgrade
 

I been having so many problem after loading 1.4 patch & getting
menu ID error. I will be going back to 1.3.

Ubisoft needs th fix this now.

I get no "menu ID" errors with 1.4, in fact it runs just fine. Are you trying to run mods with it or did you install it over a modded 1.3?

Did you deactivate the mods before installing the patch? Are you trying to run a saved game prior to the patch installation?

1.4
 

Some else adivsed me to deinstall sh4/reboot/install sh4/reboot/1.4 patch/
reboot/play. I tried all of this, after the game loads, get " Please Wait"
It still that till I control atl delete. Show Menu ID error.

another guy its the menu: 1024-768.ini.

I'd suggest deleting the SH4 directory after you uninstall it... that way, you can be sure there are no files left over from the previous installation.

If you're running Vista, you may have some "compatibility files" left over. I'd suggest installing SH4 under some other directory than the Program Files directory, to avoid that issue entirely.

Make sure you also manually delete the SH4 folder hidden in your "documents and settings" folder, in addition to the regular program folder that contains the game.

patch 1.4
 

I checked the above. Sh4 is there. I will uninstall SH4. check all files & delete them. I made a new file for SH4 on my hard hard. Should this work.

It should, remember to delete the SH4 stuff in My Documents as mentioned :yep:

Strange a large majority of users have no problems applying the patch yet "UBI needs to fix this".

Anyhow hope you get it working.

Engine problems with 1.4
 

OK here is my situation. I saved my present campaign after going to port, then installed 1.4. From the installation point it is fine, of course missing the dails in the conning tower, but that's not of major concern. Now I saved my game and returned to it. Now I no longer have any propulsion above 256 time compression. It will return under 64 time compression but in sputters. Now maybe its the save file, I will give it that possibility, or maybe its the program reading the file, that's wrong. Any help would be greatly appretiated.

Game is Fixed
 

I got the game to work...........

:up:

[quote=reallydedpoet][quote=gg5056]Attn: RDP....
I am also at the point of dealing with probably errant registry entries. The specifics of my problem are posted here: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...5/m/2971029216

Could you please check out that post and provide me your advice concerning my problem and my SH4 related registry entries? Thanks.

As for now, i get a strange issue with 1.4...
Game will run just fine until i switch to external view. The game won't and instantly freezes with last 2 seconds of music/sounds forever looping (exactly like when you're about to enter a harbor and game's loading the scene but that goes on forever).

I will try a super clean reinstall and see what it does. I will tell you then, should there be more people that also get this issue :shifty:

[quote=Doolittle81][quote=reallydedpoet]I could not find that post regarding the registry stuff, maybe send gg506 a PM, he did manage to get the game going :yep:

First CTD
 

Well . . . I got my first CTD playing SH4 ver 1.4 in ages!

Well I guess others have been having difficulty with 1.4 . . . and it's been a bit buggy, but more or less rights itself. However, today, just after sinking a Huge European Liner . . . and having 4 duds in a spread of 6 (2 detonated) (not a glitch) . . . I went deep, silent, and sailed underneath the convoy . . . I wait to nightfall, and surface . . . I come up to another small convoy, and spot two unescorted medium modern composites on the horizen . . . so I get close, line up for a shot of one each with my rear tubes . . . and raise the periscope . . . then all of a sudden CRASH TO DESKTOP.

Damn! And I didn't save after sinking the liner . . . but I can't complain about that patrol really . . . even though it sucks I lost the liner . . . I have sunk 2 Shakokus this patrol . . . and one my first patrol . . . technically impossible since only 2 were built.

Has anyone else been experiencing similar CTDs in similar situations?
