Crashing to Desktop while Online

[Ssgt_Wolverine]

Hello!

Am having an issue here with SH4 with the 1.5 patch. Am playing the game with no mods install. I play from a fresh install. I am experiencing a very bizarre issue here.

I am crashing on my desktop with this error warning:

Whats funny anyway is I am crashing ONLY with the same guy playing with me online. Has soon, that one of is torpedo hits a vessel I crash to desktop, with that message.

Am the only one thats crashes, on the server. I have try the same thing with other players and no crash. If this guy ram dead on a vessel, with is sub I don't crash. I don't crash, if any other players online uses their torpedos I don't crash or ram any vessel with their sub I don't crash.

I need help cause I can't find any answer about thats crashing problem so far.

Thank you!

If the crash only occurs when playing with that particular individual, then I'd say the trouble is either on his end or one of you has the incorrect version of SH4 installed. Make sure you both have the same version number. SH4 with the U-boat Missions Add-On and SH4 Gold Edition are both v 1.5. If you do not have the U-boat Missions Add-On, then make sure you both have SH4 patched to v 1.4 ( only the UBM Add-On has the 1.5 patch).

Make sure both of you have forwarded the proper ports for your firewall or router. Make sure your anti-virus or other security software is not interfering with the game accessing the files it needs during game play or blocking necessary packets.

If the trouble persists, then either you or your buddy needs to uninstall SH4 completely and re-install the game. The next step is very important. You must restart your computer before running SH4 for the first time. I do not know why but it seems the game runs much more stable and reliably if you do this.

Sorry noone was able to provide any answers sooner but I only just purchased SH4 and have been learning things as I gain better experience with the game.

This is how "we" found out to install SH4 into Program Files under Vista 32.. if not..you kick everyone except yourself when your torps hit..:)

I was the other guy..:)

They will get you set up to play SH3 or SH4..and then the fun begins!
