There is a tutorial on-site here about managing the Steam install...

I'll have to thump around here and find it

[propbeanie]

Yeah, I thought I could find it real quick, and that is not the case. I'm stuck with the use of just this little tablet for now, and not a real computer, and I've manged to crash it several times. I'm almost 99% sure it's linked to off of either one of TheBerbster's pages, or Rockin Robbins...

i had found something about cutting the sh4 file and moving it to a new folder but besides that I haven't found anything.

[Redwake]

well yet again the sh4 1.4 patch tells me sh4 dosnt exist on my computer.

[Redwake]

well now steam wont even play sh4, states that the executable is missing, went to verify game files through steam and voila it wants me to download it again..... and well I don't got the data left of the hotspot to do that, so I guess my subbing days are over. ill update if and when I can possibly play sh4 again.

You definitely don't wanna lose your quota for the month of December, what with all of that shoppin' you've still got to do!

If you moved the SH4.exe, put it back. Hopefully, it'll work after that. I don't remember if you can "validate" an install more than once?...

I finally found THEBERSTERS link: SH$<>Tutorials<>How to do it<>Info... It's much easier to do this on a ~real~ computer...

The first Steam mention is in the Steam Conversion SH4 Installation Instructions from 2015, where the whole folder is moved, and renamed without spaces. I do not know how reliable that method is.

The second is more recent http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...21&postcount=3 down in Post #3. I remember the posting, but I do not remember the title of the thread. I do know this method works, because I have a few Steam games, and this is how I've managed their installations. You log into the Steam site on your account, and do it from there.

Ugh, still gotta wait till my data resets. I think I'm just going to avoid trying to mod or patch the game due to this debacle. I'll just be happy to have a semi running game lol. Thank you for the help tho guys.

Managed to get SH4 up and running again, not gonna try to mod it or anything after last times debacle, I'm just happy it runs and I hope the rest of you are having good hunting. My first patrol, on the new career finished with over 130k tons thanks to a fleet of carriers in stormy weather, which allowed me to do my work, and a few unlucky liner's and heavy merchants. It's as if the game was like welcome back. Happy hunting all.
