Hmm ... I am running correctly SH4 under DirectX 11.

I believe you can run the game on DX9 or better.

In that case, something else is going on. I have DirectX 11.1 installed already, and I've tried a few different methods of installing DX9.0c (This one: http://www.dosgamers.com/directx-9-windows-10-windows-8 seemed like it would work, but unfortunately after completing the directions there is no change). Well, I'll have to just put submarines on the back burner for now, unless someone else knows what's up. I'll keep working at it.

Mortuus, where is that game installed. Putting it into the /program files (x86) directory subjects it to all sorts of operating system protected status. You should install it into a separate directory connected directly to the root directory of your hard drive, example: c:\wolves of the pacific. With Steam, just make sure that the program lives outside the Program Files or Program Files (x86) directories.

It isn't 100% sure that is your problem but it may be the case.

Well, even if that doesn't solve it, I've been meaning to move my Steam installation out of Program Files (x86) for a while anyway. Might as well get it done now.

Hope that solves your problem.

Help will always be given at Subsim to those who ask.

I was told a long time ago, that SH4 needs the directx that comes with the game. I'm not sure if that's true, but to be safe, I installed that one. I haven't had any problems, even with later versions of directx.

Now when you're through getting the game to work, we need you to start scraping barnacles. Wolferz needs a lot of help getting rid of them.

This DX 9.0c is from the MS website. It should work better for you, I hope.
