Default CTD during convoy attack

My game sometimes freezes and then ctd, with an error message saying "silent hunterr 3 has stopped working". This happens when I've hit ships in a convoy with torpedoes and am trying to withdraw.... ctd.
Does anyone have the same problem?
I'm running Vista 64.

When I had GWX enhanced damage mod on and had torpedoed a large tanker it caught fire everywhere, I experienced really bad lag. It didn't crash, but was probablly really close to it. I think that was a memory issue, not enough of it for all the fireworks.

Posting your system specs and what mods you are running is a good first start to figuring out what is going on.

i just started getting the same issue but with win7/64bit.
although i had a conflict with enhanced damage mod and tried the sh4 version,i uninstalled it but some files were over written so i will copy my saved games and just do a fresh install.

its very annoying when your stalking for a couple hours and then loose everything.

win7/64bit
qx9650 cpu
4 gig hyper-x

This usually boils down to low memory issues and or the need for a better graphics card.
