Silent Hunter 4 Load Problems

[rstewart1957]

I have just installed some of the Silent hunter 4 Mods (Minichrono, JP Ship Dimension,Captain Midnight Radio, and paraB fewer radio contacts) and then tried to start the game. The game would not load with both into movies not appearing although you could hear the soundtrack. The game loading bar would appear and go to the end, but the game would not start and I got these warnings:

Menu ID not found
0X0302003
0X0302005
0X0302004
0X0302004
with a windows explanation
Error Signature
AppName: Sh4.exe AppVer:1.2.0.0 Mod Name Sh4.exe
ModVer:1.2.0.0 Offsset 000240f7

I uninstalled the mods and did a reboot, but the game still would not load with the same errors. Are these window errors or game errors?
If I reinstall the game is it possible to save my saved games and put them back
after the reinstall? Any possible answers or suggestions would be helpful.

rstewart1957,

The best way to proceed is to delete your SH4 game files and then run a repair install. The default location of SH4 is:
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific

Once delete is complete, run SH4 setup from the disc or the 'Add or Remove Programs' shortcut in the control panel. After the repair, run the 1.2 game update.

None of your game settings and career will be lost.

I have followed your suggestion and deleted the game files. After I did this I cannot load the game because of this error (listed below). I also then deleted any Silent Hunter 4 files in the registry and again tried a reinstall. I got the same error and it will not let me install. Any suggestions of what I can do about this new error?

An error(-5006:0x80070020)has occurred while running the setup.
Please make sure you have finished any previous setup and closed other applications.
If the error still occurs, please contact your vendor, Ubisoft.

I have no help for you, but it smells like DRM to me - digital restrictions management. I hope you figure it out. Do you have Nero or any other CD burning or virtual CD software installed?

[rstewart1957]

I have U-Lead software for burning DVD's. I deleted some programs
including Windows Media 11 and I was able to reinstall the game with
Patch 1.2. After that I installed some SH4 Mods and got the same type/
configuration error but with different numbers. I used JSME Mod Installer
to remove some of the Mods and the error went away. I still need to narrow
down which of the Mods caused the warning error and not let the game load.

Thanks for the help. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

List the mods, if you please. All of them - the world wonders.

[rstewart1957]

The Mods that are now installed in SH4 are:
Dark Recognition Manual
Depth Charge Shake v1.01 SH4
GreenLamp
Improved Underwater Visibility Stage 1
ParaB's fewer radio contacts
Captain Midnights CBS News Sound Mod

The mods that give the error when enabled is mini_chrono and JP
Ship Dimension Fix1.0.
I have no clue as to why, but they may be conflicting with each
other or another mod that is already installed.

I have also been trying to end a patrol or at least refit but I have
only about 35% fuel left and I am just northeast of Manila on
March 11, 1942. Both Midway and the Austrailian Bases are to far.
Is the base of Java still available for refit or any of the
Indonesian/Vietnam bases at this time in the war?

When you enable these mods in JSGME, do you get a warning message similar to this?

If not, then it could be quite difficult to determine what the mod conflict is.
