Thanks for that... but what directory did you put the game in?
Your update to v1.4 may not have "taken" correctly or fully. Days of old (10 years ago), you had to have the original disk in the drive when you went to update. I don't remember if the v1.3 needed that, but the v1.4 will eliminate the disk requirement.
Also, especially in Win10, but also in the older versions to a lesser extent (somewhat dependent upon your Windows UAC settings), you might have to right-click the SH4.EXE file in the game folder, left-click on Properties at the bottom of the resultant menu, then click on the "Compatibility" tab. Place a tick-mark in the "Run this program as an administrator" toward the bottom of the little window, and try just that. A second step would be to place a tick-mark in the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" up towards the top of the little window. If you've got Win8 or 10, try "Windows 7". Try again. Do NOT go below Windows XP SP2 on that list. In fact, I don't think it'll work in any of the "Server" modes either. Some folks need those settings, others don't. It all depends upon the computer.
The ~big~ one anymore, is the install directory (but again - dependent upon UAC). If you're in a Windows Protected area, most of what you do won't "stick", and Windows will go behind your back and put some of the changes back the way it was, and not tell you a thing about it. The Program File directories are the most common ones that cause trouble, but there are others...
