Sudden Strange Visual Bug

[propbeanie]

Besides making certain you are not installing into a Windows-controlled drive location as KaleunMarco says - which makes future modding next to impossible - you also want to set your SH4.exe "Properties" to properly work with your video card and display. Depending upon your set-up, it could possibly involve several of the settings being changed:




Another thing that could be a problem, is when you were installing the disk version of the game, that you neglected to install the DirectX v9.0c and Codecs from the disk. If you failed to do that, anything 3D in the game will fail. Try downloading it from Microsoft if that's what your issue is.

Hello Folks,

Thank you for the advice and warm welcome, and Im writing the first part of this response in advance of looking into this (I’m a little tech illiterate). And heads up, i installed this through steam (sorry) so that might affect it:

1. I’ve uninstalled the Games (4, U boat add on, and SH3 since it had the same problem)

2. Basic install, the game goes to windows c:/programfilesx86/steam/steamapps/common/(game title)

Try deleting the SH4 file in "my documents" just for giggles

I also went and deleted the files, to male sure, still getting the no visuals glitch

Ok addendum, can this be fixed if I got the game through steam?

I got both off steam and they work fine. You want to avoid putting the game in the default location. Put them in steamlibrary or on another harddrive.
