I have the same problem with my newly installed Silent Hunter 4 as I had on my old Silent Hunter 3. When I start the game after install it plays the first logo movie and then it crashes and exits. I have had the same problem on the 3 computers that I have, one 2k professional, one XP professional, and finally on my Vista Ultimate...

I spent several days trying to track the error down when I got SH3 until I desperatly moved the intro movies out of their directory and then the game worked perfectly. Today when SH4 arrived with the mail I eagerly installed it and behold... same error once more...

Now I had the fix though so it was quick moving away the intros (after watching them with my normal media player) and now the game runs like a charm. (it even runs on my win2k machine even if it is not supported)

Hi, I also had the same problems and found the same solutions. Are you running an NVIDIA card? If so, what drivers?

BTW, I also had the same problem with BATTLE OF BRITAIN II. Disabling videos was the only way I could force that game to run properly also.

BTW #2, I only watched about 10 seconds of the intro movie....it looked a little creepy. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
