One thing you're not keeping us informed about is what mod(s) are you using? You say you have the correct game version. You state you "Did a quick test to see if the stock game worked and it does..". But, you don't specifically state what mod(s) you’re using? Earlier you said its TMO......But which exact version of TMO?

We can't help you if we don't get specifics.

Without going into too much further, I'd suggest you play the stock game for several missions to see if your computer can run the stock game......before adding a mod. Your last post said you thought things were going to be OK with your game modded but after a bit, it crashed. Why not run the stock game at least as long to see if it’s stable?

You also stated....."I've recently bought a new computer (8 gig ram, 2gig dedicated graphics card yadayadayada... runs games full spec)".

You shouldn't be surprised to find out that having the latest/greatest computer doesn't mean this game designed in 2005-2006 will run as expected! In 2006 we were still using CRT analog monitors.....flat screen LCD's were just a pipe dream! You’re pushing the game through a computer/monitor system that it was never designed for. There ARE things we can do to make the game come-up-to-speed for a newer system, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

For right now, get the stock game to run with the minimum options set......use the default settings. You can go back to the default settings by deleting the "SH4" folder as I've instructed earlier. I'm only reading between the lines when you say your system "runs games in full spec"......could be, but not this game.
