This would include not enough RAM to begin with (4Gig recommended minimum), or hard drive space (7200rpm drive with about 1/2 of its space free recommended), or possibly the 4Gig Patch or LAA you used are not properly applied to a write-enabled SH4.exe file. There is also the possibility that if you are crashing only on certain large convoys, that there is a mis-configured ship or airplane involved, either with a "bad" name, or "bad" Type=" line.

Again, very helpful - thanks! Yes, the game crashes at certain convoys and after about 1h or so of D/C attack.

Let me check one-by-one:

- If I undestand correctly, if I set the FPS to let's say 60, it won't go higher than that but would go lower depending on game status, correct?

- My PC config is: i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 8GB RAM. I have the game installed on Drive :/C ... :/D has a bit less than 50% space left and :/C about 2/3 (just got an upgrade) ... so, I not sure that's the issue...

- I applied LAA but simply starting the program and selecting the sh4.exe and running the program, and getting the message that the activation was successful. If there is more to that than meets the eye, I certainly would be interested finding out about it ...

- So far, the game will not load certain large convoys and crash, and as said, after being submerged for about 1h of D/C attacks (I'm wondering if having the External View or Event Camera activiated could have somthing to do with that) ...

Comments welcome ...
