My desktop turned out to have numerous corrupted files that had to be replaced. This was indicated by problems I was having elsewhere on it. Once I got that straightened out, SH4 started working properly again.
So far, it's working fine on my laptop as well. Both computers are running Windows 10.

Has somebody experience to run UBM add-on at W10?
SH4 works fine, but after installing UBM there is a problem to start the game.

I've got new PC after x-mas.
i7 6700K, 16GB ram, GTX 1080 with Acer Predator XB1 32¨monitor, 4k and G-Sync. OS is Windows - 10 Pro because I need to run DAWs. Reaper and Cubase etc. Now, I can install from CD and run SH4 just fine, allthought its v 1.0. However, I can not patch to 1.4 or install the Uboot addon CD that would patch it to 1.5. I've tried all the compatibility options. Installed directX 9 too... Any tips? |

With Win 10 you have to install SH4 in a folder other than Program Files or Program Files(x86). This will let you overwrite and tweak SH4 to your hearts content. I have a folder with my name in the USERS folder. There I have SH4, mods, pics, and other personal stuff.
Hope this gets you going.

Torpedo Realism?
Howdy, I have been running SH4 for several months just getting used to the commands, etc. One thing I have noticed is torpedos not doing as much damage as I thought they were capable of. For instance, I thought 1 torp would sink a Destroyer of the Fletcher class size. But in SH4 it can take 2 or more to sink a Jap destroyer when I am in a Narmal or Gato class US Sub.
Was I being too optimistic in my view of torpedo capability? (Yes I know I am not shooting Fletcher class ships) ;-) Thx |

For those that are using this thread and still having questions, please take a look at this thread.......[TEC] Windows10; Large Address Aware; SH4 Install. This thread is over on the SH4 Fleet Boat Mods Workshop. I don't wish to highjack this thread, but as I've read through it I couldn't help in feeling there's things a Windows 10 user should still do to make his system preform as well as it should. With my system, Windows 10 was a brand new install....not an upgrade from a previous OS (between Windows 7 to 8.1). This install has quirks, yet without extra Properties page tweaking the game runs flawlessly. It should not make a difference how you upgraded to Windows 10, but there are things you need to know when you do.
Large Address Aware is a large part of it, so is knowing what to do with .NetFramework, and the DirectX 12 that's on the OS. Just thought I'd bring it up.

Someone in the FotRSU thread has it going... But I don't remember which tablet or OS exactly. It's been several weeks since they mentioned their hardware...

I have SH4 working great with Win 10 64-bit with not having to set the exe to Win xp compatibility mode and that includes the Titan mod but it's the gold edition.

What a mess! Sever help needed for Win10 & SH 4
Hi everyone,
I've been gone from this forum for years and am now back. I recently bought a new PC with Win10 & have a 1080 Nvidia card. I installed SH just fine but now it won't even open in a truncated 1024 X 768 window! I did a regedit and check to find all SH 4 registries and found none. I even cleared the Prefetch files that obviously state "silent hunter" in them. I feel as though I'm going to have to buy this game via Ubisoft download but don't want to as it's $30 for the SH 4 Gold edition. Can anyone assist me please? I have both the U.S. & U.K. versions of this game and I need to get the 1.4 patch for the U.S. version only. Much obliged and thank you! Stefos |

Welcome to SubSim Stefos! The 'modern' Windows OS is very 'jealous' of certain areas of its hard drive. Do NOT install SH4 into a 'protected' area such as Program Files (x86), which is the default location in the game's installer. You can refer to CapnScurvy's Windows10; Large Address Aware; SH4 Install, where he discusses his Windows 10 install and update, Silent Hunter 4 install, and the use of LAA. You could probably drop down a couple of clicks in the page scroll gutter, down below where his picture of the Windows Settings page is, and start reading from about where he says:
"Two things need to be stressed before installing the game. First, allow Windows 10 to update Automatically to get the latest updated files. Secondly, keep your Silent Hunter game install out of either the "Program Files", "Program Files (x86)", or the "ProgramData" folders. The reason is to avoid the handicap Windows uses on us when a program/game is defaulted to install in one of these folders. Windows won't let you change the properties of the program/games loaded in these folders because it thinks you'll screw something up. Or, it tries to prevent computer corruption if these programs are changed in some way. If your planning to add content to your game (like a modification through JSGME, or JSGME itself, or a memory helper like LAA).....you're changing your original game files. Believe me, this old game didn't expect to be treated like a "problem waiting to happen" by the OS......so don't install it in these folders. You'll not need to change the game files to "Run as Administrator", or any other setting, if you just install it as follows. Newer programs/games that are designed to work with Windows 10 are fine to be installed in these folders.....but not older ones." Once you have the game installed elsewhere, you should be able to run it OK, but you definitely need to get the install to at least the v1.4 update. There are a few (just a few) updates available for v1.4, and most mods out there are for v1.5 Uboats. But, there is still at least one regular member on here who still uses his v1.4 regularly... |
