Windows 10 patch update help...
Hey all...been a very long time since I’ve played silent hunter. I have a cd version of Hunter 4. Downloaded the 1.4 patch, but my cpu won’t allow me too open it. I assume because it’s a .exe file it thinks it’s sketchy. I tried looking in the priorities looking for a “unblock” box....but there is not one. Any help? I hate playing it straight from the cd version.....buggy buggy buggy....

Do you the patch file in the SH4 folder? Right-click on the patch executable, and then left-click on "Run as administrator". Windows defender or other AV might be flagging it as a virus or worm, especially if you have the disk version of SH4 installed in the default path of "C:\Program Files (x86) \Ubisoft \Silent Hunter 4..." Windows does not allow "un-authorized" alterations in the "Program Files" folders. You could un-install the disk version, then re-install it, but pointing it to a different install path outside of a Program Files folder, such that if you carefully edit the path dialog, you could do "C:\Games \Ubisoft \Silent Hunter 4..." (or some-such). That way, Windows won't hit you with the UAC and "protected" system folders.

What is the path to your Silent Hunter 4 install? ie: "C:\Program Files (x86) \Steam \SteamApps \Common \Silent Hunter 4..." is the default locationl. ??
