My response which you quoted was for missing textures, not CTD. I never stated that enabling the 3GB switch would prevent CTD's.

The reason you need to enable the 3GB switch is to prevent missing textures, missing harbors and ships not loading when they should. The cause of these is the game needs more than 2GB to load all the textures and 32 bit operating systems only allocate 2gb.

But saying that, I've only had 3 CTD which weren't caused by mods. I've had SH5 since release. And when I first played SH5, it was on a machine that was far below the min specs for the game (e.g. a single core 3500+, windows XP (32bit), Radeon 4870 and 4GB ram).
