Attn: RDP....
I am also at the point of dealing with probably errant registry entries. The specifics of my problem are posted here: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...5/m/2971029216

Could you please check out that post and provide me your advice concerning my problem and my SH4 related registry entries? Thanks.

As for now, i get a strange issue with 1.4...
Game will run just fine until i switch to external view. The game won't and instantly freezes with last 2 seconds of music/sounds forever looping (exactly like when you're about to enter a harbor and game's loading the scene but that goes on forever).

I will try a super clean reinstall and see what it does. I will tell you then, should there be more people that also get this issue

Well . . . I got my first CTD playing SH4 ver 1.4 in ages!

Well I guess others have been having difficulty with 1.4 . . . and it's been a bit buggy, but more or less rights itself. However, today, just after sinking a Huge European Liner . . . and having 4 duds in a spread of 6 (2 detonated) (not a glitch) . . . I went deep, silent, and sailed underneath the convoy . . . I wait to nightfall, and surface . . . I come up to another small convoy, and spot two unescorted medium modern composites on the horizen . . . so I get close, line up for a shot of one each with my rear tubes . . . and raise the periscope . . . then all of a sudden CRASH TO DESKTOP.

Damn! And I didn't save after sinking the liner . . . but I can't complain about that patrol really . . . even though it sucks I lost the liner . . . I have sunk 2 Shakokus this patrol . . . and one my first patrol . . . technically impossible since only 2 were built.

Has anyone else been experiencing similar CTDs in similar situations?

Hey" every body!,.....What is this i here about all these little problems with the 1.4 patch?.

If most of you would follow the modders advice and stop trying to run mods that are not compatibale with each other,.. then maby you will have a little better SH4 experience.

Right now iam playing stock sh4 with patch 1.4 only and haveing tones of fun.

No need to get all upset when your favorite mods don't work,...Give it a break! and try to do something else, Like spend time with your family or something", While the modders try to figure out what 1.4 has changed and what they need to do to fix it. :hmm:

I don't run any mods but I've noticed, at least for me anyway, that since 1.4 came out only about half my torpedoes are showing damage on the ships I hit. I mean I may hit a ship three times in the side and only one hole in the ship shows. Never the less I love the patch, finally the Gato class can use it's anti-aircraft gun on deck without the cowling getting in the way ..

Another funny thing happened the other day also, I shot a ship up the backside, the torpedo blew out the underside of the stern and if you used your external view to float over there and look at the damage you could see on the ship that the torpedo had knocked out all the propeller shafts and rudder, yet the propellers were still running like normal but just suspended in space so to speak still turning as fast as ever yet not attached to the ship. That looked so funny.

Hello everyone,

I've been gone for some time. First on some frustrations with the sim and then no time to really sit down and play.

Well started a career a few weeks ago and had a successfull patrol. Sank a destroyer and merchant so far. Used the auto TDC just to get used to all the other controls etc. and will switch over to manual soon.

Loaded 1.4 the other day and am playing stock SH4 as noted by flyingdane. Well went to the conning tower and the main steering area. What do I find but all gauges - depth / speed / course etc. blacked out!!??!!. Since this career was started with 1.3 thought I'd start a new career. Went to the tower and yup all gauges blacked out again!!??!!

What gives? I thought these patches were to correct issues not add to them. It seems the endless "contact long range" while in port is gone - which was the only real pain I still had with 1.3 - but so now are my gauges in the tower. In the control room and the secondary steering station all is ok. Not to say that this glitch is going to effect my patrols, but if in the tower I should be able to see what I need to see.

On another note - and I have noticed this through all patches and stock versions - when at the navigation map and while plotting a course or using the other tools - why is the "compass" that "pops" up always reverse? In other words north is down and south is up. So when I go to plot a course west the compass is showing my plot line going east . If I have a convoy and want to get an idea of where they are to my boat if I pull off my bow and my heading is west or say 270 the "pop up" will show a eastern "projection"!!!!!!

Am I doing something wrong or is this another glitch?

Well game is great so will keep on sailing - just need a little fix here and there.

Happy Holidays to all
and to all Happy Hunting
