HEEEEELLp with CTD's

Frank the tank · 02-17-12, 04:22 PM

Hi

I had been running SH4, v1.3 that I got from steam a few weeks back. That was going fine, although there were quite a few CTD's. The other day I decided to upgrade and get the 1.5 version in u-boat missions, so I could get some mods going.

I paid for and down loaded the new version, again via steam. The problem now is now it CTD everytime I leave the office. Tried it several time and it crashes before even going to the sub. (hope that makes sence)

Completely and totally unplayable and extremely frustrating.

I am contacting steam, but was wondering in the mean time if anyone else was had this happen and if there is an easy fix.

Thanks

Did you delete the [your documents]\SH4 folder?

And btw. the Gold DVD is the way to go...

No OK i'll delete that.

Yep went for the steam version because it was just easier.

OK I deleted that file. and still no luck. I'm almost ready to give up and ask for my $$$$ back.

Maybe try downloading it again and do a fresh install.

Gold DVD +1

After deleting the SH4 folders under My Documents, try reinstalling the game in a new directory, NOT one under the Program Files directory. Make a new Windows directory (I used GAMES): C://Windows/Games/ubisoft/SH4

That will solve 90 % of the CTD problems on new installs.
