UPLAY SH4.exe

ridley · 08-05-18, 04:22 PM

I have a copy of SH4, somewhere, but who knows how long that will take to find.

So I thought just buy the latest version from Uplay as this is the exe that is suggested in the into thread.

Except I cannot find SH4 on UPLAY! Any idea where I can get it?

Well, if you have legal copy already, maybe just take a look at KSD II discord.

Been looking for this as well, I installed KSD II and I am using the Steam Version, after the loading screen it exits/crashes the game.

I tried looking for the KSD II Discord server but the links are dead.

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? Would love to give KSD II adversaries a go

If you are using Steam, you will have to install the game into a different Library folder, or move the Steam install and game, such that you are not in a Windows protected folder, such as a Program Files folder, which is what Steam defaults to when it installs, and then it puts the Library folder below it, such that you end up with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam \SteamApps \common \Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific". The game runs fine there, but any modding you do will have its files set back to the previous state by Windows, so you'll get a mix of KSDII pictures, and Stock config files, which usually ends up crashing the game. Refer to Moving a Steam Installation and Games for information on both methods. Once you have the game outside of the "protection" of Windows, then you can properly apply a mod. After that, then you have to clear the games "Save" folder, which generally defaults to "C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH4", with "UserName" being what you log into Windows with, or use one of the multitude of short-cuts to your documents folder, and delete either the contents, or the entire "SH4" folder. The game will recreate the folder when you start it the next time, which will then bring in all of the information for the newly applied mod.

Thanks propbeanie,
I managed to solve the issue.

The problem is not with the installation of KSD II Adversaries, its with the SH4.exe file itself.

KSD II Adversaries does not come with SH4.exe, and as I read into it, you need to copy and overwrite the "Fake" SH4.exe that comes with KSD II Adversaries, problem is that the Steam SH4.exe does not work with it as it was designed with the Uplay Version of Silent Hunter 4.

My fix was that I had some time ago downloaded the earlier KSD II Mod which was just called that without the Adversaries and was only playable in Russian, but that mod had the Uplay version, so I copied and pasted that into Adversaries and now it works like a charm.

I forgot about that... I had used my disk version of the executable and then promptly became ignorant...

Glad you got it!
