Ditto, to the above! Please be sure to read the Stickied thread on installing the game in Windows7 and Vista. There are some small tips that will make for a trouble free experience.

Win7 64-bit here, too, and the game is smooth as an elven arse for the first time in 5 years (with a 2-year break inbetween and a totally new rig built a few months ago)! Heck, I even installed in the default directory (Program Files(x86)) with no incident whatsoever...though I'm sure the Gods are chuckling right now and preparing some kind of mischief for my insolence

Holy cow! That makes me wonder: Will SH4 run in Windows 8? Do I even care to get a crowbar and wrestle with Windows 8 to see? Probably not....

I'm currently running SH4 v1.5 with RFB and RSRD under Windows 8 and have not encountered any problems. It is running very smoothly, actually better than it ever did in Win XP.
The only gaming software that I have been absolutely unable to get to run under W8 is "Dangerous Waters."
Although I haven't tried SH3 yet as I've been focused on SH4 v1.5.
With the Radio Station Mods and RFB and RSRD it is a really good gaming experience.
I've also been setting up approach missions in SH4 mission editor with no problems. The practice missions are based on the Dick O'Kane method and the use of the Electronic Maneuvering Board which is really a piece of work that can be used in almost any tactical naval game and in real life too!

Well mine was running great. But I've since removed the mods and uninstalled. Going to re-install and see what happens, mod free first.

Was getting an appcrash when trying to end patrol. Also noticed I was getting strange graphical glitches inside the sub - white blocks where the dials should have been.

Hope it's just corruption, and a re-install does it.
