I was returning to base (Brisbane) from the Bismarck Sea area in a career,all torps fired and all deck gun ammo used with a tonnage score of 148500 and in 2048 time compression,crash to desktop error in sound.act with a horrible screeching from the speakers.reloaded the saved game and tried a lower compression many times,best I could acheive was an hour in game time before ctd with the same error sound.act.With the Bismarck Sea 3 days sailing from Brisbane and the game crashing after 1 hour max game time restarting the game loading the save adding 1 hour and saving game before ctd.I would not live long enough to get the boat home.
So I decided a reinstall was wise thing to do.The game uninstalled no problem.Did the reinstall and applied patch v1.2 and got this long CRC Error near the end.

CRC Error The file C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\sh4.exe doesn't match the file in the setups .cab file,the medium from which you are running the setup maybe corrupted;contact your software vendor.

And the 3 options of Abort,Retry or Ignore.

And when I try to run the game I get this error message

SH4.EXE-entry point not found the procedure entry point?stopfacialexpressions@characterinstantion@@Q AEXXZ could not be located in the dynamic link library anim.act

Now I have uninstalled reinstalled 3 times.
I have cleaned the registry and removed the SH4 folder from My Documents after each uninstall.
The game will run as V1.0 but appling Patch v1.2 causes these error messages and my hair loss.
I have redownloaded the 1.2 patch in case it was corrupt.
What's next?
