gg5056 · 11-29-07, 11:30 AM

I been having so many problem after loading 1.4 patch & getting
menu ID error. I will be going back to 1.3.

Ubisoft needs th fix this now.

I get no "menu ID" errors with 1.4, in fact it runs just fine. Are you trying to run mods with it or did you install it over a modded 1.3?

Did you deactivate the mods before installing the patch? Are you trying to run a saved game prior to the patch installation?

I'd suggest deleting the SH4 directory after you uninstall it... that way, you can be sure there are no files left over from the previous installation.

If you're running Vista, you may have some "compatibility files" left over. I'd suggest installing SH4 under some other directory than the Program Files directory, to avoid that issue entirely.

Make sure you also manually delete the SH4 folder hidden in your "documents and settings" folder, in addition to the regular program folder that contains the game.

I checked the above. Sh4 is there. I will uninstall SH4. check all files & delete them. I made a new file for SH4 on my hard hard. Should this work.

Strange a large majority of users have no problems applying the patch yet "UBI needs to fix this".

Anyhow hope you get it working.

OK here is my situation. I saved my present campaign after going to port, then installed 1.4. From the installation point it is fine, of course missing the dails in the conning tower, but that's not of major concern. Now I saved my game and returned to it. Now I no longer have any propulsion above 256 time compression. It will return under 64 time compression but in sputters. Now maybe its the save file, I will give it that possibility, or maybe its the program reading the file, that's wrong. Any help would be greatly appretiated.
