Secondly, what mods are you running on your Steam SH4? What version of Windows are you using, and is it 64-bit or 32-bit? Where did you install Steam, and where did you install Silent Hunter 4? Do you have a 2nd hard drive or partition available for a 2nd Steam Library folder? Do you "shell-out" to Windows while playing SH4? ie: You see a ship, use the <Windows> to temporarily exit and look it up on the internet, and then go back into the game... ?? Let us know all of those details you can!  |
Hi propbeanie, thanks for the warm welcome!
Sure, I'll try to go through all the points:
Mods: No Mods installed (btw what Mod would you recommend for staying as
close as possible to vanilla with just bug fixes and general improvements?)
Windows: Windows 10 (I guess that means 64bit, correct?)
Steam Install folder: C:\Steam
SH IV Install Folder: C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Silent Hunters Wolves of the Pacific
Drives: I only have one partition and no 2nd harddrive
Shell-out: Yes I used to "shell-out" quite often using ALT-Tab during the game. Mostly it was too look up tactics on strategies on Subsim and also not to make the wife angry when she would see I was playing that "Uboat stuff" again
I avoid that know because in an earlier post it was stated that this could be the cause of such problems.
Gentlemen, yesterday, I attacked my first real convoy (using a lot of great tipps from these forums on how to plot intercept courses) and the game was stable and did not lag at all. It was quite a large convoy and my computer handled it well, so for now I think this confirms my hypothesis that I don't have general memory issues (I have LAA installed just in case!), but that the CTD were caused by this massive "ghost" convoy.
Btw. I managed to sink two ships, although more by luck than anything. I felt pretty confident with the manual targeting in the training missions, but it turns out its not so easy to keep your cool in a "real" convoy attack situation. Bottom line is, both my torpedo salvos missed their intended target by far, however they accidently hit other ships and two frighters went down
