ARRRGGHH!

My copy of SH 4 arrived today. Wasn't the gold version, so I installed the 1.4 update after installing.

Tried running the training menu. Crahed as soon as I did anything more than look around. Ok, turn all game graphic sliders to minimum. Still crashes. Turn down hardware acceleration - too far, now 3d engine won't load. Notch it up so 3D loads, still crashes. Audio acceleration to minimum - STILL crashes! Arrgghh!

Running Win 2000 Pro, SP4
AMD 3300
1024 MB RAM
Radeon 9600 128 MB ram
Game installed on drive with 24 gigs free space

Any suggestions?

Make sure your graphics card driver is up to date.

Make sure direct X is up to date.

You don't even have enough RAM to run the operating system. You'll never be able to run the game.........

Pick up 4 gigs of Ram and try from there.

2 gigs will work though.

and a 512 card

SH IV does not run with 128 MB card...I have tried. 256 is the minimum.

*Sigh* Ok, I guess I'll have to upgrade vid card and memory. Great - more time in port!

better that than a game crashing, IMO

Well, if this is any consolation, I can run SH IV + UBM with RFB + RSRDC just fine with:

Processor : AMD Athlon 64 2800+ @ 1800 MHz
Physical Memory : 1024 MB (2 x 512 DDR-SDRAM )
Video Card : Nvidia Corp GeForce 7300 GT

With very low settings, but then I am not into eyecandy that much. :p Had ATI Radeon 128 MB Graphics Card..decided to get GeForce 7300 GT, both affordable and compatible with the rig just to run SH IV.
