[John Channing]

A few more details about when this crash happens may point us in the right direction.

There is no one overall fix for crashes, but most can be resolved through various fixes.

[U-4053]

Most often after a Mission is concluding, coming back to base switching from Crew Mgt to an outside view etc, not necesarily in that order.
GAme just stops and crashes.
I htought I saw a fix in one of the Mods that fixed that issue?

But I have no Idea, it doesnt do it all the time, just sometimes, its like the game gets overwhelmed and just vapor locks

[fire-fox]

are you useing those six "crew stans" buttons in the bottem right quorter if the crew screen. becouse if you are DONT.

[Alan]

I have this problem, that when i finish a patrol and want to return to base instead of saving, the game goes to desktop.when loaded last save it says i died when this is wrong is this a game issue or patch problem..

[U-4053]

As a matter of fact I am using the little crew buttons on the botom of the screen, there isnt a fix for this eh?

[Wolfram]

More information please sir:

System specs in general; video card (driver), ram, cpu...helps

Mods specifically if any; example I use 1.4b patch, mod enabler, SH3 Commander, IUb 1.02...

LOL too much almost U-4053

But first my:

Disclaimer ---> I am not an IT person nor do have as much skill as many of the other fine people here, but I do have experience and willing to offer suggestions

OK with that lets go;

OK system seems fine. I was looking for a bottleneck in the hardware; btw Nvidia card not a strong point for me but guessing that driver set for it is latest?

If not or to double check how current the driver is got to:

http://www.guru3d.com/

SH3 Commander guessing up to date to latest version also; note 1 thing that always got me DtD/crash with SH3commander was not using it exclusively to startup SH and exclusively to award/promote.

http://beerymod.com for latest version = SH3Cmdr2.4

The only time I use the Crew Functions of in game any more is to replace lost crewmen.

But if none these things (above) not the cause maybe best to clean install; if you do go so far as a clean install be sure to do a search for any and all entry that are Silent Hunter - sometimes pieces left behind.

Once cleaned out start with fresh install SH3

Then install patch 1.4 - make sure you get correct version for your SH3

Then I recommend JonesSoft mod enabler for SH3

http://members.iinet.net.au/~jscones.../products.html

Then mods as you want.

But reality is I see no hardware issues other than potential of Nvidia card but I say again I use ATi and not familar with Nvidia product - other hardware seems good so conclusion is it is a corrupted file somewhere in the SH3 itself thus the suggest of the reinstall.

Otherwise try not using anything but SH3commander prog to mod/award crew and use it exclusively to start up SH3 everytime.

@ Alan the only known problem so far as I have read in the forum here with the 1.4b patch is not using the proper version for your specific game either US or Europe either Disk or Download I believe.

No magic here sometimes in either case it is a file that got corrupted.

g/l to both of you gentlemen - post any change to situation

[U-4053]

Firstly Thanks for your assistance, I thank you for the Mods and the links, this is a fresh install as of 5 days ago, Also The Nvidia drivers are uptodate, my Card is suppose to be the top of the line, but that was last wek, I paid 350.00 for it and my buddies are screaming cause they paid 400.00
I am going to try the newer version of SH3 Commander and see what that does.
I will let you know

Thanks a bunch
Charlie
