It's hard to read your black text with my Smart Dark Subsim forum theme - anyway if I highlight your text I can read it......

TMO 2.5 (you should have the TMO small Patch -1_TMO_25_small_patch - to avoid the Tambor bug in the future - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=3506 ). Install with JSGME in Port, not on patrol.
The 3,000 yard bearing tool uses a lot more memory than Stock.

Do you have LAA installed? This will let your computer use all of its memory.
THEBERBSTER has more info here:

That's all I can think of that would cause your symptoms.

Happy Hunting!

LAA is Large Address Aware, which is a small utility program that allows you to set a bit to give a program access to more RAM on your computer. If you have 4 gig or more of RAM, and a 64-bit OS, you can use LAA and potentially have a better running game. CapnScurvy has a thread Windows10; Large Address Aware; SH4 Install, full of info on it, and its use in Win10, but a good portion applies back to Vista 64-bit also. You shouldn't lose what you have thus far in the game with either it or the use of the patch.

Hi Hardigan
The 4gb patch is only used with SH3.
SH4 uses LAA Large Address Aware.
You can find all about it in my SH4 tutorials.

You will need to be a lot closer before you can take a photograph.
With these type of missions IIRC you usually have to be in the harbor and it is usually a particular ship you have to photograph.
The camera icon will light up when you can take the photograph.
AFAIK it is the Observation scope that you use.

I,ve downloaded the TMO 2.5 small patch ,do you install it with JSGME ? I,d need a brilliant camera Peter, I was 22 miles away from the spot where you take the pic, when the game crashed . I suppose the Title that I put was misleading. Hardigen

Yes, JSGME. All the "patch" does is correct some sub assignments, and has nothing to do directly with the campaign.

Now, when you crashed, what were the circumstances? ie: "I played stock just fine, added TMO and reloaded and then 'BOOM!' - CTD", which would be a no-no, loading a Saved game from a previous version of the game. If you did that, it is discouraged, because it usually results in troubles for your game and Saved files...

Have you gotten LAA figured out and activated on the SH4.exe file? What were your orders when sent to Osaka? Were they like: "Intelligence has requested a update on the enemy presence in Osaka harbor. Recon the area and, if possible, infiltrate the anchorage and photograph any enemy ships encountered."? Do you remember the date when you went out? When you say 22 miles away, were you near, or even inside Bungo Suido, or maybe even up into the Inland Sea? Another thing about crashes, is that they may not be directly related to your mission. It might have been some ship trying to spawn near to where you were that caused the issue.
