Help with bugs that prevent me from playing
Ahoy skippers,
I've only just bought SH4 after i saw some videos thanks to youtube recommendations however i am experiencing some major problems. I have the main game and also the u-boat DLC, however when i try to play, i cannot start a campaign. I get stuck on the "From where do you want to start" screen, nothing happens when i press Start. Also, when i tried doing the tutorials, i found out my periscope is bugged and it keeps going up, then teleporting down. I cannot raise the thing myself for some reason too. I'm sorry if i copied a previous thread about these things, i couldn't find anything on either of these problems. |

CTD - it's not just a job

Besides what KaleunMarco mentions (excellent reading), did you install the DirectX v9.0c and the Windows Media Codecs when installing the game?

I can pilot a boat in quick missions and fire deck guns and stuff like that, but i cant use the periscope and the main campaign doesnt start off. Are these really problems with directX and WMC? I'll try to manually download them to be safe. Thanks! |

SH4 requires Directx9.n as well as the WMC's. failure to install them will lead to weird problems, such as what you are experiencing.

Indid read the entire thing and also tried the different things they wrote about in that thread to no avail. My steam is installed on my C drive SSD, however i installed SH4 in a seperate folder on my D drive HDD. I shouldn't be running out of RAM, as i can't see this thing taking up more than the 16 gigs of RAM i have in my rig, being a pretty dated game. This is of course unless it doesn't use more than the two. I tried LAA mod, but i hadn't heard of the 4 gig mod so ill try that next. Again thanks. I've been scraping by thanks to the steam refunds ive been asking for multiple times now after trying to fix the game. Getting pretty tired of it and losing hope, guess some things arent meant to be huh |
