One thing lead to another I got greedy and ended up in a battle between 3 DDs and a few planes. Eventually after much tricky maneuvering and well placed torps, deck gun and AA shoots the USS Drum came up as victor leaving 8 ships smoking and 3 planes downed in the harbor.
So now low on torps and fuel I decided to head home.
My issue is that the sub sim gods are punishing me "for not staying silent, nor deep" by crashing my game.
Whenever I enter a TC higher than about 256x it gets very laggy. If I encounter a new ship at all the game wants to crash.
I have done the 4gb fix as well as I don't overwrite saved games. I can load in older saves and things work fine. However, this patrol seems lost unless I want to slow boat it back to Pearl at under 256x TC.
Anyone have any suggestions on possible fixes?

It's been my experience that the 4gb patch alone will not prevent lag or crash issues. I also downloaded and ran a program called Large Address Aware. Adding SH4 to that program stopped all crashes and freezes for me going back several years now. All I can say is it works for me. Good luck.
