I've lurked the thread a bit but haven't caught the language you're using for this: are you writing it in C++, or something else?
Is there an ability to abandon a sub or is this a bit of fluff? All of my excursions have ended in the deep.

Thanks! Glad you like it. I'm a big fan of those kinds of games too, especially the DCS series.
Sub Commander is coded in BlitzPlus (

I can't see any posts from people with any issues at all with this game, so I cannot imagine what might be the problem on my system.
I'm running Windows 7 x64 with an Nvidia GTX 760.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be the problem?
Update
I've just seen the "Crashes, Bugs and Troubleshooting" thread, which is where this post belongs. Could an admin move it for me please?

That's very unusual
The only possible solutions I can think of at the moment are
adding the game to the DEP exclusion list and running it as an administrator. If that doesn't help, try downloading an older version of the game and see if that works - if it does, let me know and I can compare the two versions to see what could be causing the problem.

TheGeoff, have you considered making the crewmen move out of a room if there is radiation in it? It's a little annoying when I send in an unprotected guy to assess the damage, and then he just sits around and absorbs enough radiation to turn into the hulk.

Yeah, I should probably make the crew avoid heavily irradiated compartments where possible. At the moment crew can't detect radiation levels at all, so they just act like it isn't there until they start shaking and vomiting - I've been thinking of adding a Geiger counter as a piece of equipment which allows the crew carrying it to sense and avoid radiation.
