Try the d3d Anti Lag mod:

:up:

I already have the d3d anti lag installed.

It seems to me that it is random, sometimes it's when a torpedo hits a ship, sometimes is while I'm in periscope sight, sometimes it's when I'm in the conning tower with the binoculars, I don't seem to find a specific pattern here. I have to save a lot, normally after sinking one ship and it only happens when attacking a large convoy (6 or more ships).

It's been a problem since the last game. Ideally, save only when in the middle of nowhere, surfaced, at 0kts. I even check the hydros and make sure nothing is nearby.
In the end, if you stop getting crashes so often, the game becomes more stable, and a lot more tense as well, since you know if you mess up you may have to reload way before your present action took place. Good luck!

PS: Disabling the FX mods flares also is a good idea.

To me it sounds like a memory issue. Right? :hmmm:
Try turning down your graphics settings, especially shadows.

What GPU are you running ATI, nVidia?

nVidia GeForce GT9400 :up:

BTW, what does the request supply from the radio guy do? I've tried using it but it says all the times that my request has been denied.

An nVidia GPU you say. Do you run the nHancer as well?
If yes, turn it off. (It messes the settings up, at least it did for me).

The AA and shadow effects can be very demanding.

I had an nVidia GPU but now I run an ATI instead without any extra 'tweaking' software like the CCC that comes with the ATI cards.

Well, so far I haven't seen anything else from that radio operator than you do.

Cheers

Thanks for the help, actually I have no shadows already and nHancer disabled :haha:. My game must be played on medium low because of my RAM memory. Although I have 2gb, it's still ye'olde DDR-2, so most of modern games which require high specs will only play on my computer at medium/low graphic settings, and even so some games lag a bit.
