Vista Problem with SH4

Larry U-136 · 03-01-09, 03:23 PM

Everytime I load SH4 into my computer and run the game it crashes. I have the following system:

Gateway FX6800-01e
Intel Core i7CPU 920@2.67 GHZ
3.00 GB RAM
64-bit operating system Vista Home Premium

Can anyone help on this topic?

How far do you get before SH4 crashes?

I ran into the same problem when I loaded it from steam but that was because I downloaded both sh4 and the expansion at the same time. You need to download sh4 play it and then exit and download the expansion pack. I am not sure if that is your problem but if you are using steam it might be.

You may need to do this.. Right click on the .exe file (SH4 icon) and select "Run as Administrator". Hope this helps. I know I needed to.

You didn't install it in the program files, did you?

Yes, I've heard it's best not to, (after the fact) but most folks won't know this until it's too late. My install is in "Program Files" and I don't have any problems. Once it's up and running, it probably won't matter.

I feel confident saying that your problem is not a Vista problem as stated. I've been running SHIV since last June with zero problems.

Most likely culprit in these instances turns out to be due to an installation snafu most often mod related.

Good luck.
