I feel like it is almost like flipping a coin. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Specs:
I have the steam version of the game
cpu: i7 4790k
gpu: gtx 980 sc
ram: 16gb
os: win 8.1
What 4gig Patch did you use? There are a couple that are available. Your specs are more than adequate

Good to be stubborn when playing the Silent Hunter Series, but worth it when you get to the right set-up. Did you do this: Right click on SH3.exe set compatability mode to Win XP Service Pack 3. Do this after applying the patch. I saw something earlier in the SH3 Forums and this worked. Also I have done this before as well.

Forgot to mention it earlier.
