I've found SHIV very stable, rarely crashing. SHIII on the other hand gave me tons of CDT till it got the 2nd patch iirc.
I do have quite a few problems but CTDs are none of them. In fact, I haven't had a single crash since I installed the game, in over 30 patrols so far. And no, I never used the "a" key... ;)
Ive never had a ctd either...I don't use the A key and I've never had a problem with the stadimeter.

I've never had a ctd either, but I haven't played the game in a while due to some of the other problems. I can't wait for the patch, I hope it fixes some of the issues bothering me. I want to play again~!

Ive had some CTDs most associated with the "A" key and now when i do a save game in the middle of my patrol and the go to reload it at a later date kapow ctd here we come thats the only 2 reasons i get ctd's:up:
I have only had one CTD, and that was because of the A key.

I've only had CTD's when trying to load a save during an attack (e.g. burning/sinking/sunk ships around me). Impossible to load, had to revert to preattack position. :down:

only CTDs I've ever had were related to the A key or the stadimeter. I've found SH4 to be very stable.

I played a 4 hour session this weekend not a single crash.
Oh except that one time we lost power... Damn you Ubisoft.
As to the patch it will be here SOON ! "tm"

I haven't had single crash. Am I lucky or something?

I'm dealing with the many bugs, as are others, though in all the many hours I've played, I've yet to experience a single CTD.

I've had occasional random CTDs not associated with the "A" key or the stadimeter. They seemed to get better after 1.1 but I might have just had a lucky streak. This weekend I had a big crash in the middle of a really exciting action and I hadn't saved before it. The whole patrol was shot and Ubi nearly owed me for a new PC because I really wanted to toss it across the room.
I will say this for SH4; if I didn't like the parts that do work so much the other stuff wouldn't anger me nearly so much. ;)

Oh, sorry. I remembered incorrectly. I had one crash because I accidentaly used WASD as arrow keys. I pressed A by accident.

No CTD's here either. I find it to be very stable, and have logged at least 60 hours in the game. Ran from friday night to late sunday afternoon continuousl, and no crashes.
Check all your drivers, including the ones for your motherboard.

No crashes or freezes here...
No CTDs either, but I never use the "A" key...
...just lots of frustration from the "Damage from nowhere" bug, and the "Topside crew has Bubonic Plague" bug.

I do have quite a few problems but CTDs are none of them. In fact, I haven't had a single crash since I installed the game, in over 30 patrols so far. And no, I never used the "a" key... ;) The same here.

I've never had a single crash either, closest I came was one time that damn message log filled up and was taking forever to open. One day after 3 minutes wait I lost patience and hit the reset button and just quit using the log until I found a couple "workarounds" for it.
Another time I got "stuck" staring at that "monolith", the fps were so low that I'd turn periscope to look away and after 30 seconds it would move a degree, 30 seconds then another degree and so on :( Would have taken all night to move the scope far enough to get good fps back, I must have been close to it! Ended up hitting "reset" to fix that also. Turned off Environmental Effects after that.
But not one CTD. Other than the above 2 probs, it's been rock-solid.
Does anyone know when the patch is due out?

Thank goodness a patch is almost here... as much as I like this game, it's really trying my patience.
Yesterday was a day I was able to spend all day playing and it was pushing me to my outer limits.
I have this game save, right as I'm in position to attack a convoy. I just want to finish, but keep getting a random crash.
I'm starting to believe the game is playing me instead.
It was toying with me, letting me play until I've got two or three hours invested, then bam... ctd. Argh!!! :stare: All day, an exercise in frustration.
I'm determined to finish or lose my mind :88)

Actually, I'm kind of dreading the patch tomorrow. Got a pretty good patrol underway, ordered to patrol East China Sea, completed that, then ordered to engage merchant shipping, competed that, then I was ordered to photo-recon Hiroshima harbor. Did that one, then while at Hiroshima decided to take out the Shokaku and the Fubuki that I photoed, did that plus took down a tanker on the way out from Hiroshima.
Now I've been ordered to patrol off Honshu (still haven't refitted or docked yet) and finally the IJN is doing something and it's getting exciting! Ran across a fast moving convoy, 3 DD's escorting a troopship 120 miles due south of Shizouka. These DD's, unlike the others I've encountered are actually doing something, 2 of them broke off from the convoy and have been hounding me for 5 hours. I'm well below test depth at 370 feet and doing everything I can think of but I can't shake 'em! Lucky for me their aim with the DC's ain't too good ;)
Finally, some adrenaline is pumping!!!!
Guess it's gonna be a while before I can install 1.2, I gotta finish this patrol :(

Ditto here.... although my save was just outside Pearl Harbor (just started a new patrol when I had to save and shut PC down). Luckly my In Base save was OK.
