Default Picked up SH4

...after much deliberation, I went and picked up my copy of SH4. Looks great, feels great, killed a few merchants. Patched to 1.1.

But, ive played it twice, and both times its crashed to desktop for no apparent reason. Great start!

Good to hear you got around to getting the game at last. I also get random CTD. I had two last night. The save function is invaluable.

I never had any random CTDs with SHIV, those I had were usually for that or other known/reported reason :hmm

Don't press the 'A' key.

Sometimes the stadimeter will make you ctd. I save after leaving harbor (or starting outside it) and reload my game from there. It helped when my Stadi kept crashing me on a certain target.

If you have an LCD flat panel monitor, you must manually change the synchronization setting in a cfg file to 'on'. I'm not home right now, so if you do I'll give you details on where it is located...

I think it's My Documents/SH4/Cfg/main.cfg under [Graphics] section but I could be wrong

I've tried changing VSync to on. I've tried Neals suggestion of reinstalling but the CTD is still there. One example last night I was shadowing a mechant, trying to get a good postion. Viewing it through the TBT, bincoulars etc, etc. I get a bit closer, have another look though the binoculars and BAM! CTD!

I haven't had CTD until recently. Now, they are quite frequent and is making for a frustrating gaming experience. For example, just now....hit the "A" = maintain depth key and immediately went to desk top, did not pass go or collect my $200. Total BS..!!
