Welcome Aboard--Hope you have many good missions in the future, and sink loads of ships --Allied of course. I have to echo the replys about upgrading your memory. I have a system similat to yors and have yet to have a CTD ib SHIII. (Looking over my shoulder in case Bernard is lurking around). Secondly in a earlier thread there was mention of increasing the page size of your virtual memory, which may help, but the priority needs to be to get more memory at least 2 GB, and I thind your problem will be over. Go to zipzoomfly.com or other online ordering and order the required memory -- there is a great deal of differences in prices make sure you get the type needed for your computer.

Watch the carbs, exercise and take your meds

Hi Devildog, I imagine a semper fi greeting is appropiate. The advice by other Kaleuns is good. Did I miss your graphics card?

Welcome Aboard Herr Kaluen!!

What series is your processor? Athlon, 64X2, Sempron, etc.

In terms of the game actually running, yea, you need mooore RAM (emphasis on more). 2GB is plenty for most people. In terms of eye candy and FPS, might want to upgrade the video card, but the memory is the most important upgrade for you right now.

I think you have some corrupted or bad file / setting, either in directx , or video drivers, or the game, or ultimately windows.

If the game runs normal to you with your memory,
if i remember right minimum spec. for sh3 is 512 mb.
Try this:

I suggest updating directx, here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Then the newest drivers for your card are here:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_169.21_whql.html

- And wipe out the sh3 from the pc, and reinstall it again.

That should do it. Good luck.

Hi, you might want to do a forum search using words as "CTD" and such.
Many, including me, had similar problems so you may find some suggestions in those threads. (If upgrading the RAM doesn't work).

I guess reasons for CTD's can be multiple. Video drivers, sound card settings (for me anyway), processes running in the background (MSN, antivirus and such), incompatible mods, bad BIOS settings and so on.

Good luck, sure you'll fix it.
