Sounds familiar, did you try posting in the SH4 Mods section?
Do any other applications have problems?

Nope, I mean, I did a long time ago, but that was a different issue on a different computer and different OS

Only other application that has issues is FSX.

Since the issue only started recently with the one game (FSX might not be related) I'd say that it is a SH4 issue, maybe your game save is corrupt, pity you don't have a backup of your SH4 install, I assume you don't use Norton Ghost?

If its crashing only during time compression - which screen are you in?

Map, deck, etc
?

Check your vid card temps. Disable any mods and test it. Then add them in one at a time to see what hoses.

Usually periscope. Seems only to happen when I'm attacking.

If the save game is corrupt, this would be the second time in 3 weeks... And it would make sense that it always happens in the same area. I've never had it on the way to the harbor I'm supposed to attack.

The SH series has had the corrupt save bug since SH3. If you have ships nearby, you don't save the game. If you are not on the surface, you don't save the game. Being underwater or having the enemy close often results in a corrupt save.

But there is a difference between a corrupt save and an app crash.
You need to go mod by mod and see which one causes the issue.
