If you have a problem after reinstallation.....

Just wanted to pass along some info that may/will be usefull. I was having some frame rate issues after some reconfiguring and decided to reinstall. Afterwards, the game would crash at the very end of the load screen (the red meter) with a message saying something like "SH4 has stopped working and will now close". Well I tried (almost) everything under the sun, installing again, deleting registy entries, defraging, etc...and finally contacting Ubi support, which did not help because they started by telling me to check drivers, shut down all processes and crap like that. I knew none of those were the problem and then read a post here that someone with a similar problem remedied thier reinstallation by simply editing the executable file (shortcut) to "run as administrator".
BINGO! It was that simple! The reason I'm repeating it is, this info was in a thread that may be difficult to find in a search and could have saved me a lot of time and frustration. I surely hope it helps someone.

Moral of the story.......You will probably find a better support for your fixes here, than going to Ubi. Thank you Subsim! BTW, my frame rates are now back to where they should be.
