[REL] Bearing To AOB + Sonar FIX

[razark]

Due to hurricane Harvey, most of my stuff is currently in storage, including my computer. I'm trying to rebuild a suitable SH4 install on a laptop. This mod was part of my mix since it was released.

I had been running on a 64-bit Win 7 machine. The laptop I have is also 64-bit Win 7. When I installed and tried to run the .exe, I got a message that it is not compatible with 64 bit. Not sure why it worked on one and not the other. I would greatly appreciate anyone who can help me understand what's going on and if there's some way I can get it working.

Did you install the older version of the graphics program (DirectX ??) from the install package? It is important to do and it's OK to have it and the updated version.

Also, did you install to a folder off the root C:\ drive like C:\GAMES\ instead of Program Files (x86)?

Maybe someone smarter than me will chime in... that's all I can think of. I have Win 7 64 bit too and no problems with SH4.

Sorry about Harvey.

I'm pretty sure that I did. I'll probably go ahead and just remove and reinstall it again to make sure.

Yes, I've got it in C:\Ubisoft\...

SH4 is working fine. It's just this specific hack that won't run. Which is odd, because it ran on my previous Win7 box.

Thanks. I lost only a few things, but my family and friends are safe. There's a lot of people that lost so much more than we did.

Sorry you had to deal with another hurricane there razark. Do you happen to know if your computer has Intel onboard graphics? Do you know the cpu model number and how much RAM you have on it? Have you set your SH4 to "Run as administrator" on the Properties page in Windows Explorer?

Here's the machine.

I hadn't. I have now, both SH4, and the SH-AIFIX.exe that was giving me problems.

I fired up the laptop to get a screenshot of the error. Of course, it worked instead. You know, "the error never occurs when asking tech support." It doesn't look quite the same (text being cut off at the bottom), but it seems to function.

I appreciate the (for now unneeded) help folks. If someone has any idea what may have been happening, I'd be glad to know. Also, I'll just have to test it out and see if this continues to work, or if the issue re-occurs.

You've got an add-in nVidia card, so it aint' no issue with Intel graphics... Nice computer for the money... wish I had me about $300US...
