A total and clean reinstall of your game is in order. You'll need to delete completely your SH4 game and its accompanying Documents/
SH4 folder.
I don't think you've told us how you've installed the game....a Downloaded version (from where)? A Gold Edition DVD? From the kid down the street? What computer Operating System are you putting it on (Windows XP to Windows 10)?
How much memory does your system have?
Yes, lots of questions. But, when the main game is corrupted there's only one thing to do.....clean the computer of the old files, defrag the disk your going to be reinstalling it in, and put it in the proper folder to keep Windows from thinking its some malware that your trying to use. When this game was developed/released, Windows XP was the at-large OS. Since Windows Vista, the OS has looked at older programs like SH4 and figured its going to do you harm if you put it into the wrong folder.....the very default folder that the game install wizard would like to put the game in! So, telling us what OS your using will help in getting the install right.
Once installed correctly, adding a fresh copy of JSGME is in order. PLUS, the very next thing that could have informed you right away
if your stock game files are corrupted or not.....Take a JSGME "Snapshot" of your clean game files before ever using the first mod in-game. This is so important!!
From this point on, you should run the stock game to check out its Museum and Recognition Manual. You'll find no CTD's.
By chance you
do have an issue.....Then another question is needed to be asked. How much memory does your system have? If you've got 4 gigs of memory or more, you need to add Large Address Aware to your games "SH4.exe" file in order to force the game to use the additional memory you have available. This is important, next to taking the "Snapshot" of your clean game files. Having the game run with the use of additional memory, will do a lot of good...even with the stock game....but
more importantly when you mod the game.
