Runtime Error

[Zinmar]

I haven't played SH4 in ages and decided to fire the game up. Did the initial start with no issues and installed the Dark Waters mod. When I go to fire up the game now I get a runtime error and it locks up. Is there a work around for this?

Zinmar,

welcome back.
your RTE could be related to a great many things.
please post some addl info on your installation:

• operating system (win7, 10, 11)
• how much RAM is available
• Is LAA or other 4 gig memory tool in use
• SH4 installation folder
• SH4 Version (1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.5, Uboat Missions)
• JSGME mod config

• JSGME mod config

I'm running with Win 10
Installed RAM 32GB
I ran the 4GB Memory Tool
1.5, which I believe is Uboat Missions
I'm not sure what you mean about the JSGME though? It's version 2.6.0.157 and I installed it in the SH4 root folder.


On a side not I tried running compatability with Win 7 and 8 and as the administrator and none of those got it to run.

i forgot to ask in which folder do you have SH4 installed?

[Zinmar]

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[F:\Steam\steamapps\common\Silent Hunters Wolves of the Pacific\MODS]

OM_DarkWaters_V6

The Steam install puts the DirectX v9.0c and Codecs in when you install SH4. But did the bone-stock game run OK? Did you empty the Save folder after activating the mod? Did you make certain that the "Read-only" attribute was "off" on the SH4.exe file, so that it is write-enabled and can take the 4Gig Patch or LAA? Run Time Errors can also be caused by something else overwriting the C++ dll the game installed. I do not remember which version is used by SH4, but if something deleted or overwrote the dll, that can do the problem. If you used the Steam function to verify the game files, it took most of Dark Waters back out on you...
