Ya got mods installed that you had from patch 1.1? If so back 'em out and you will be fine. If not then remove and re-install - but DO NOT use the 1.1 patch.

Good luck.

Disable your mods, then retry. Then one by one enable them, and try launching sh4 again until you find the one that is causing the problem.

Dang Clay, my ears have not heard such lanquage as %@#$%$#.:rotfl:

so if you have 1.2 patch you don't need 1.1. Because I downloaded 1.1 then 1.2. will it be a problem??

1.2 is a cumulative patch that includes 1.1
and IMO installing both can cause problems in certain situations. :yep:

Sorry I can't help but if you figure it out it's worth posting. This is at least the second time I have heard someone mention this today.

I did a clean install, then 1.1, and 1.2. I haven't had any problems so far. (Crosses fingers.)

Clay, uninstall the game, make sure all SH4 related files are gone including the SH4 folder in your my documents (it contains save files & cfg stuff) then reboot, defrag and reinstall the game with the 1.2 patch...this worked for me, play a bit to see if everything works ok then start trying your mods. :up:

Just a side note...this procedure "worked for me" it may or may not work for other people.
