Since GWX was a bitch to d/l, I went for NYGM now. While I was completely FLOORED at first, I was even more so when my PC crashed into reboot on both attempts of doing a patrol. First time it happened shortly after I was out of Brest, the second time I managed to get out further, SW of Ireland. Both times it happened when accessing a different station via the slide-out station menue on the left side of the screen. Once with the crew icon, the other time the command room icon. Until it crashed, the performance was splendid as was the gameplay.
SHIII stock never CTD'ed on me. I installed NYGM via JGME. I can only think of one thing which might result in that error: During install, I thought the remaining space on the drive I had SHIII on was enough, like 1.4 GB. Seemingly however, unpacking the mod and then installing, with JGME effectively duplicating the files, I ran out of space in the middle of the install. The horror. At the same time JGME stopped. I figured it could not possibly have installed correctly like that, even though JGME said Mod was applied, so I removed it right there via JGME again, cleared up space, and reinstalled. Maybe since the mod was not completely installed the first time but must have been stopped in the middle of the operation, I could imagine this leading to an erratic removal/reinstall. Prolly my whole SHIII is now totally ****ed up. The strange thing is it works great until it reboots, and I could access those aforementioned stations multiple times before w/o any problems. Those crashes came totally randomly and out of nowhere.
Are my assumptions correct or could it be something else, maybe something kown, which would not require a complete re-install? Damn, I'm pissed off.
