For example, I use C:\Games\Ubisoft\SH3 or C:\Games\Ubisoft\SH4. That plus the Large Address Aware prevents virtually all CTD's.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the advice!
My sh3.exe does have the memory patch (from hsie fixes), and its installed on my steam folder (i have the steam version). My steam folder is not in program files, i allways install it to just "C:\Games\Steam" to avoid issues.

I just cant figure out whats wrong. This time after more tries (im stubborn) i managed to get close to the convoy, look at the ships (i havent attacked yet):

Not shown in picture, but there is a total of 4 ships on fire.

Since for some reason this time game dint CTD, I shadowed the convoy for several hours, none of the ships sunk on their own, it seems its their cargo that is on fire? I also noticed that for several hours they were moving in zig zag, like they do when under attack (they never saw me).
Im not sure this is what causes the CTDs, but i think it may be related, as an indicator that something is wrong with those convoys.
