My computer crashed on me so i had to by a new one.
This is my new computer.

Game version 1.4 with these mods.

My computer randomly crashes to desktop it has never happend before so i think it has something to do with my videocard NVIDEA GeForce 9800 GT. Any idea's.

Edit.
It is wrong to say crash to desktop more like, the game freezes and i have to restart my computer.

What I would do is only load TMO and see how it goes. If no CTD then start adding RSRD. If still no CTD then continue adding the other mods until you CTD. Then last one you load that creates CTD then you know the culprit. I suspect one of your mods is causing the CTD. I suspect any one of the mods following TMO/RSRD is causing the CTD. Not because they are bad mods but they were possibily not designed to work with TMO/RSRD.

Yep. That's the best place to start. If that doesn't fix it go to nvidia.com and download the driver for your video card. Sometimes the drivers that ship with new systems are pretty lame. The 9800 GT(x)'s rock!

I think Warhawk is right...I see a few mods there that probably have issues. Don't know what gun mod you're using, but I loaded one up on
top of the same basic mod package you're using and had the same problem, so may want to look at that one.


You probably know, but if it's new with a big bundle package, it's probably running every service and program in the background and you may be a lttle low on ram with the mods, but you should still be running the game OK. I would cut off every service and program not needed and add some ram when you can.

Hi pabbi These guys seem to have covered all the bases pretty well.

One thing I can add is it might be a bad ram stick.

I had simular problem with GWX and it started out of nowhere.

Jimbuna told me to check there and, BINGO, problem solved.

And all 4 of my 1gb sticks were new after build.

Hope it's something simple.

you'll probably need to use "nhancer" too so some of the older games work with your new card and new drivers.

get it here: http://www.nhancer.com/?dat=downloads

He said new, so it better not be, lol, but I can feel your pain. I spent 3 days trying to fix my cp, just locked up and rebooted before the DT. About went nuts and finally pulled out the sticks one at a time and bingo...about made me sick after hours of trying to reinstall windows, new hard drive, video card, win, ect....

I was encountering a problem very simular to this when i 1st installed SH4, i had installed the game then updated to 1.4. I thought i had a corrupt download on the patch so redownloaded with no success, i then updated to 1.5 by purchasing the u-boat addons thru subsim via direct2drive (so subsim got a piece of the pie). It still crashed often and hard. The sticky thread on reinstalling sh4 didn't seem to help as it pointed me to registry entries that didn't show up in windows xp and otherwise the game was reinstalling ok

After 3 days of steady crashes i took a day off from playing with the problem and went golfing. While on the golf course it occured to me to check for conflicts in my display area.

I had recently updated my video card to a 512 mg radeon agp 8x video card and it had a conflict, lowered the agp from 8x to 4x and haven't had a crash in hundreds of hrs of gameplay since.

It is simply amazing at just what else can be accomplished while on the golf course. I myself have solved many odd problems whilst in port and swinging my sticks on the ole' links.
