My Sh4

[Berserker]

Has made its final dive...No longer works on win 10...

Hi B
Why?
There is no reason why SH4 should not work on Windows 10 and without a compatibility mode unlike SH3 which does, and SH5 which again does not.
So, what are you doing, or probably more importantly not doing?
We vultures, ahem, need a bit of meat to work on.

What version of SH4 are you trying to run? Is it off a disc or download? What kind of computer, laptop or PC?

Please delete the following folder:
C:\Users\xxxxxx\Documents\SH4 where xxxxxx is your user name...
You will lose all save game data...
then try again...


Also.... What are your system specs? Have you applied LAA & another 4GB patch?

Hi B
You do not want to install your game in the program (x86) file as it is a directory with restrictions.
Set your SH4.exe as an administrator before starting the game.

Irrespective of what game version you have your stock game should be able to load to the games main menu.

Check that your gpu is correctly setup for any SH version.

Here is another optional fix.

It is also possible that a system update can change driver settings.

Don't forget the save folder, if the game is having constant CTD's. And you have re-installed the game and still getting the same messages, your next task is to always delete the save folder, or use MultiSH3 to create a new folder...
