SH4 crash to windows on start

destrom · 06-19-11, 10:39 PM

I've installed SH4.
Whenever i start it, the screen goes blank, then the game just crash back to windows.
No welcome screen, no intro movie, nothing.

I've updated my GPU driver to the latest one. Still the same.
Any idea ?

Welcome to the boat mate.

We will need some information from you before we can help.

What are your system specs?
What operating system XP, Vista or Win 7?
What game are you loading SH4 V1.4 or V1.5?

If vista or Win 7 put the game in a separate folder on your drive, Do NOT use Program Files. Be sure to run as administrator and do not use the default SH4.gu as a short cut Find SH4.exe and use that.

After you install the game re start your system before running the game.
If you have to reinstall the game make sure you delete the SH4 folder in My Documents.
See this thread for reinstall.

Just shots in the dark but may be your problem.

Thanks

I was playing SH3. Which makes me fall in love completely with silent hunter series.
Then, after i upgraded my pc, then install SH4, this problem occur. Same problem occur when i tried to play SH3 again

Sadly, SH5 works perfectly fine. Problem is, the gameplay on SH5 is subpar compared to SH3

Insert your SH4 install DVD and choose install DirectX...

If still no go, delete "your documents"\SH4-folder and try again.

You're not using the Steam version, are you?

Try to use this settings in nvidia control panel:
Ambient oclusion :Off
Antisotropic: Aplication Controled
Antialising: Aplication Controled
Antialising Transparency: Aplication Controled
Cuda: All
Maximum pré Rendered Frames: 5
multi Display: Single
power Management: Maximum Performance
texture filtering: Off
Negative LOD: Allow
texture Filtering: Quality
texture Trilinear: ON
Threaded optimization: Auto
triple buffering: On
vertical Sync: Aplication Controled

For me work very good, and have high FPS rate
