It's actually a bit of a bother in anything that's Windows XP SP-3 or higher. It's just that it gets a bit worse with each Windows interation... Unfortunately, my grandmother never warned me about this when I was a lad...

Hi Guys.
Just installed SH4 Vanilla form my old DVD in W10. Also have patched to 1.4. There is no exe on my desktop, but the old Gameshadow Icon. I have went into the folder where SH4 is installed and tried to run the exe from there and nothing happens. Not even a hint it's trying to start. Any help appreciated.

Which "exe", the GU.exe or the SH4.exe? There is also an SH4.ico file, so if you don't have Windows displaying file extensions, and you are "sorting" on alphanumeric, ascending, it will be the first SH4 in the list...

Tried them all.
I've now bought it from Ubisoft Store vis digital download and nothing happens when I click on any of the exes inside the folder or the shortcut on Desktop. I can't even seem to change compatibility via this way s the options missing unlike the DVD version.

Let's do this then, and point you at CapnScurvy's Windows10; Large Address Aware; SH4 Install thread. He had just gotten himself a new computer and installed Windows 10 on it, and Silent Hunter 4. You might be putting the game into "Program Files (x86)", which can cause issues, since Windows "protects" that folder and doesn't allow certain changes to take place. The Capn also discusses the use of LAA, which allows the SH4.exe to use more than 2 gig of RAM. Try reading through that and following his advice there...

Ok, I have read through this thread and am unsure if we are still asking questions here or if we are going to scurvy's thread. If so, feel free to slap me in irons for this question.
I have successfully installed SH4 and JSGME. I have it running and can load into a game with my mods. The issue though is that after about 10 minutes of real time, my game crashes to desktop. I attempted to play the game about 5 different times after going through the hoops to get it to run and ended up shelving it out of frustration as to avoid damaging a rather pricey gaming computer.... Any ideas as to what may be the issue? Note: I have not changed my mod load order since I first started playing on my windows 7. (I keep a picture saved showing what worked after ironing out the issues those years ago.) Edit: I forgot to ask my question. (been a long day)

Naw, this is a Silent Hunter 4 and Windows 10 thread, and that's what you're dealing with, so leg irons are not needed... only manacles...
Now, 1. What is your mod list then... ?? 2. Did you run the game OK without mods after first getting it installed? 3. Where did you end up installing the game? 4. Where did you get your copy from? DVD, Steam, or some other download? |

SH "Wolves GOLD"
Will pass this on for what its worth.
I purchased a Dell 8900 W10, 24RAM, Raedon 480(I think) i7-7700, 256 SSD to replace my 6 yr old Dell 8300 W7(a great machine for me). I tried loading SH Gold and the opening video worked but the first screen and all others came up about half. Top half of monitor was empty. So I could never get down to Options and graphics on the first screen. After much messing around I went into my Raedon graphics card and took off scaling. Now game played with a full screen but picture quality was a bit dull. I also changed display to 1920x1080. Went back to Windows and tried my TW "Atilla" game and it came up fine but with scaling off a bit dull so I put scaling back. Fine picture. Then I loaded SH Gold again. To my surprise it came up full screen and just fine, clear graphics. Im not sure if scaling was involved or it was being able to get to "Options" and changing the display to 1920x1080 but I think that is what did it not the scaling which is back on. BTW, does anyone know how to get "Carriers at War" up on W10. A quite old game but I don't see any carrier games out there since tat one. |

SH4 and Windows 10
I bought an Alienware computer with Win10 already installed. I tried several of the suggestions throughout these threads with no success so, moving on, does anyone know of a submarine simulation, preferably WWII, that WILL run on Win 10?
Thank you |

Welcome to Subsim, mw775. Happy to have you with us. SH4 and SH5 will run fine on Win 10. I've not played SH3 in quite awhile, but I've seen it commented on that Sh3 will also run on win 10. Don't give up on them quite yet.
