post edit:
On rechecking, saw that, the commentor that I replied to.. hasn't been active... shortly after they posted their comment.
Despite that... this info, is still of relevance, to others who may... inadvertently, stumble across this thread, in the future.
If is any questions on the... methodology of getting a Steam version of SH4 set up, to copy & set up to be modded should arise... & I am still around & not by that time... on eternal patrol...
I shall be more than happy to go over how to, in great detail, how to get that accomplished. However, use of the 4GB patch & any issues arising out of it's use, will have to be answered by those more knowlegable in doing so with the patch.
Myself... I use a downloaded copy of Large Address Aaware, to assign My SH4.exe modded copies of SH4 v1.5 acess to 4GB of RAM.
I find using LAA, as I & others call it... to be relatively simple & pain free to execute.
It's a 3 step process, that is so easy... a cave man could do it.
In the mean time... Good hunting....

In \Program files (x86)
Simplest solution... uninstall... both your games & Steam, itself... from there...
Do NOT reinstall in either of the \Program file locations. Instead, in:
C:\Games (new created folder in C: itself made by you... or on an external hard drive)
After that, should NOT have any issues with patching.
Hope this info helps...

P.s.
I use Steam & have 9 copied, modded set ups of SH4+UBM, (i.e SH4 v1.5) by the way... & all work as they should.
