Have SH4 (through Steam & Ubi) & have it installed on a Win 10 Pro desktop computer.. & it plays just fine.
main thing I would stress, in going to install SH4 on your computer... Avoid C:\Program files ... OR C:\Program Files (x86) ... as these are iron fisted by Windows UAC, to NOT allow tampering with files in those areas. Which, is what it will see your adding in mods as... an attempt to tamper... even though this is something you want to do & to have done.
Best advice... create a folder in C:\ itself.. like:
C:\Games\SilentHunter4\pristine
Then install it to that folder & run that... 1 time only, Vasily... (
sorry, My quirky humor cropping up... & I love the movie The hunt for Red October *the only Clancy novel that Dummywood, got right*) so that everything sets up as it should... once that is done... leave that copy alone as your go to, so as to make copies from to then mod as you see fit in newly created folders in C:\Games\SilentHunter4\SH4(insert mod name here, no spacing), to leave the pristine copy, just that... pristine.
After that, create a new folder named to what mega mod you might want to go with... say... Fall of the Rising Sun. Copy the guts from your pristine install & paste them into that folder... & you are free & clear to mod to your hearts content... making sure to add in there, jsgme for mod activation, making it easy to add or remove mods... & multish4 to steer your game saves for that mod set, away from the pristine sh4 game save folder...
Hope this info helps...
Best to you & if you need further info, don't hesitate to give a shout... & make sure to give as much info to assist in resolving the issue you may be facing... m'kay...
