CTD’s on Steam

scunnygsi · 02-24-19, 07:02 AM

Im running SH3 on steam as I can’t remember which dvd doesn’t have that starforce stuff on, but I’ve never known it crash on loading careers so much. I’m wondering if it’s mod related and the resfix one in particular. Has anyone else experienced this ?

I had very bad CTD problems when loading the career saves, using GWX and widegui mod + some other esthetic mods. Installing the 4GB patch helped me.
In case you have more than 2 GB of RAM available I recommend you try that and report the results.

What 4gb patch is that ?

I believe this has been used with success:

Just start the .exe, point it to the sh3.exe, and run. It'll make sure the game can allocate 4 GB of RAM instead of 2, which is highly necessary for the game at least with additional mods.

I did find another download with the 4gb patch thing so will see if it fixes things, thanks.

For me, running it in XP compatibility mode solved the crashes.

I had it running in xp compatibility, decided to take it out of steam and install from dvd onto C drive, so far runs perfectly

In that case, good hunting!
