If you're running Vista, you may have some "compatibility files" left over. I'd suggest installing SH4 under some other directory than the Program Files directory, to avoid that issue entirely.

I checked the above. Sh4 is there. I will uninstall SH4. check all files & delete them. I made a new file for SH4 on my hard hard. Should this work.

It should, remember to delete the SH4 stuff in My Documents as mentioned

I did all of that, got to career screen, SH4 crashed.

on regedit- there are 3- SH4 [1]- 1.4 patch [2]= 1.0 & game upate
[3]= {odoo5f.......}

should they all be there.

Attn: RDP....
I am also at the point of dealing with probably errant registry entries. The specifics of my problem are posted here: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...5/m/2971029216

Could you please check out that post and provide me your advice concerning my problem and my SH4 related registry entries? Thanks.

As for now, i get a strange issue with 1.4...
Game will run just fine until i switch to external view. The game won't and instantly freezes with last 2 seconds of music/sounds forever looping (exactly like when you're about to enter a harbor and game's loading the scene but that goes on forever).

I will try a super clean reinstall and see what it does. I will tell you then, should there be more people that also get this issue

Well . . . I got my first CTD playing SH4 ver 1.4 in ages!

Well I guess others have been having difficulty with 1.4 . . . and it's been a bit buggy, but more or less rights itself. However, today, just after sinking a Huge European Liner . . . and having 4 duds in a spread of 6 (2 detonated) (not a glitch) . . . I went deep, silent, and sailed underneath the convoy . . . I wait to nightfall, and surface . . . I come up to another small convoy, and spot two unescorted medium modern composites on the horizen . . . so I get close, line up for a shot of one each with my rear tubes . . . and raise the periscope . . . then all of a sudden CRASH TO DESKTOP.

Damn! And I didn't save after sinking the liner . . . but I can't complain about that patrol really . . . even though it sucks I lost the liner . . . I have sunk 2 Shakokus this patrol . . . and one my first patrol . . . technically impossible since only 2 were built.

Has anyone else been experiencing similar CTDs in similar situations?
