Well, you see, there's the rub... and why we swallow... errrr... put up with so much "nonsense" from companies like UBI. The sub sim cupboard is unfortunately quite bare.
There's SH3... but that's another UBI product. After that you're left with a half baked WWI sim (Shells of Fury) and a few decent modern era sims - Dangerous Waters and Sub Command - neither of which can match the visual splendor of SH4, but both good in their own right.
As to your SH4 woes...
With all due respect to your computer skills and experience, one of the things that struck me about this game is that it is surprisingly processor (both CPU and GPU) intensive... far more so than the quality or visual impact of the graphics might suggest. This leads to some rather uncommon issues, such as heat problems and power problems, that while not a problem in many other (seemingly more taxing games), will manifest as graphics artifacts, GPFs, and even hard lock ups in this game.
Now you haven't given us anything to work with... so I'll assume you're running a fairly typical configuration (ie, not running WINE or Windows emulation on a Mac
), and that you've gone through your event logs, done driver and DX updates, tried disabling AV temporarily, verified adequate drive space for your page file, checked your memory timings, and all the standard troubleshooting stuff... so this is just a shot in the dark. But if you havent already you may want to try to troubleshoot specifically for these two potential issues and see if you can't isolate the cause of your problem.
Good luck.
