See my response in your "what I need" post.

buddha95 · 08-10-08, 08:16 PM

dont see what you mean? I had 1.4,, then patched to 1.5 and (with no mods whatsoever) it wont start.

Fincuan · 08-10-08, 11:18 PM

Did you disable all mods before patching? If not then I'm afraid it's time for another reinstall.

Guess these things need a huge neon flashing sign over them

dont find any of the reg items they list

buddha95 · 08-12-08, 11:00 PM

followed sticky details but had no reg items they listed. i can load and its ok,, but when i patch to 1.5 it will start to start, but 80% through the time-bar/loading bar I get a tone and it locks up. PLEASE HELP

This may well be a graphics problem or memory problem.

buddha95 · 08-13-08, 12:00 AM

it played for a couple months before at 1.5 w/ all mods

Seminole · 08-13-08, 08:27 AM

Will the game load and play just patched to 1.5...without any mods? I'm guessing it will.

If yes... then add mods 1 at a time and try to load after each is added to find out which is causing you grief.

There are so many mods, each one overwriting one another, it isn't too hard to find a combo that will not load. The game is looking for this or that specific file and then finds something it doesn't expect. It just gives up and stops loading. Using JSGME it has always been easy to remove the offending mod[s] for me and to get going again...and this has happend several times....but keep in mind I have not tried 1.5 yet and there have been lots of complaints about that version. I can't comment until I get to try it firsthand and see for myself.

If you can't load and play SHIV 1.5 unmodded then you have something else going on..maybe try UbiSoft Technical support to try and resolve it.

Good Luck..we all know how frustrating these seemingly inexplicible snafus can be. We've all been there one time or another.

buddha95 · 08-13-08, 08:32 AM

with NO mods it plays 1.4 ( and with mods also)

with no mods it wont play 1.5

My only other suggestion is to do a complete search of all files and folds. Do a search for "SH4" with your computers search program off the START button. See what is found. Delete everything found that is associated with SH4. Fresh install after that.

buddha95 · 08-13-08, 10:02 AM

used your advice ,,,,, and holywater

demons gone
works now

AVGWarhawk · 08-13-08, 10:12 AM

Excellent! I always find wayward files hanging out here and there. Glad it worked. Have fun.
