in any case, you need to install into a folder that is not under the standard Windows Program folders.
SH4 users typically create a folder off the root such as C:\Ubisoft\SH4 or D:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4.
i do not think that SSD or any other HD design makes a difference UNLESS you are using a drive system that is buffered. THAT has caused problems with SH4. let's assume that you are not using that.

your PC is not running out of RAM, the program (SH4) has limits to what it can use.
even though your system has 16 Gig ram, SH4 is designed to use 2 Gig.
if you employ one of the 4G tools, then the limit is raised from 2G to 4G. but that is its limit.
SH4 also has to compete with your operating system for all kinds of resources and you do NOT get to choose when, where, and how the OS will share. for example, when you see your system double-clutch during play. that could be SH4 but it could be Win10 performing some esoteric process that has nothing to do with SH4.
lastly, if you want to deploy any of the mega-mods such as RSRD, TMO, Dark Water, or FOTRSU, you must deploy one of the 4Gig tools.

i'll stop here. good luck!
Haha no steam doesn't charge for every insall, I'm just refunding the game every time i reach the 2 hour in game time (after which you cant refund) since i dont want the 15 euros charged if i cant play the game.

Reason why I said that i installed the game on my hdd is because steam makes a new folder which isn't part of the standard windows folders when you do this (if your steam isn't on that same drive)

I've tried to use LAA to get the 4 gigs of RAM to work, but my game is still bugging out.
It's really weird because i follow everything that isnsaid to me but the same bugs are still happening and like i said in the first post i can't find any other person having the same problems as me
