Get it for free from somewhere else since you already paid for it, its not piracy.

You could try this. Has worked for me in the past.

Don't leave the community though... I'm sorry about not showering yesterday - I realize not too many folks take kindly to the smell off Guadalcanal too well... too much coffee and pizza to have time to do that, but I promise I'll clean-up today! But in all seriousness, have you tried changing the Property settings on the SH4.exe file? I never had a worry in the world with SH4, neither Steam, UPlay (UConnect now) nor disk. They all ran, and they all take mods just fine... until the "New!!!" Windows 10 came along the other day... I now have to have different settings on the SH4.exe for each of the 3 computers, and had to experiment with all three to get the game to run. My Windows 7 machine does fine, but all 3 Windows 10 machines had to be changed. Here's a post with a picture I did yesterday in billkunert's SH4 won't start after recent Win10 update post. Experimentation is mandatory in today's 'modern' computer world when you are dealing with antiquated "legacy" apps from the Windows XP (DirectX v9.0c) days, unfortunately. The game is a blast though still -at least for me it is - after how ever many years it has been since the SSI SH4 (v1) came out...

now, you have me scared to install Windows Version 20H2, which is teed up for my system.

... and that's the thing about Windows 10... you cannot stop the updates, only delay them for a few weeks. MS (just like Apple, just like Google, etc ad infinitum adnauseum) will have their will with you and yours.

It's a user fault and not a windows fault, I've been using Win 10 pro 20H2 since the 4th of September ‎2020 without any problems, before someone starts mouthing off about win 10 they should first learn how to use the bleeding thing before they consider throwing their teddy out of the pram.

If a person is clicking on a Properties setting, and Windows is putting things right back, then the UserName account that you are logging into Windows with does not have proper authority for editing (you need Administrator priveleges), or there is something wrong with the Windows Install, or you have the game in a protected folder, which was also previously stated. You might also have UAC turned all of the way up. Maybe the hard drive is damaged, or is out of space?

Hi SH4 Community is there a SH4 no dvd patch available to download from a legitamate site trying to square away Killerspoon575 SH4 install.

I took my SH4 dvd off my bookcase last night installed it and it worked but you need the dvd in drive i am going to send Killerspoon575 the SH4 dvd and get him a usb dvd drive so there no piracy issue here gents on two counts.
He as already bought it from steam that now does not work after latest windows 10 update but if there is a no dvd patch for SH4 out there i can get Killerspoon575 squared away by zipping up my SH4 install uploading to my mediafire site then sending the download link to Killerspoon575 then he can apply the patch and hes up and running asap so to speak.

These are all potential reasons. Another, depending upon the pedigree of the steam install, is that the have is trying to call gameux.dll or it is hanging on rundll.exe.

Trending gameux.dll to something else is a start. The other is to see if rundll is running, shut down sh4.exe, and run it again.

Lastly, display scale (DSR) probably needs to be native 100%
