AHH! I just sunk a Liberty, hit 2 other ships and then my game decided to crash! what bad luck

ever had this happen guys? what's the worst time for you?

Had a patrol where I sank a Shokaku Class CV and 3 decent merchants (different attacks/encounters). Underwent a depth charging that took me over 2 hours to evade. 500 Miles from Perth, Mr CTD. And I hadn't saved the game since I left port

.

Now I always save after a major encounter. And I haven't had another CTD either. Sure would lke to get that CV back

.

Cheers!

before you play sh4 go to "start/ control panel/ internet options" and delete all temperary files and stuff so you dont run out of memory space which will force a memory dump and ctd. it only deletes temperary files, cookies. and remembered passwords so your not really deleting anything you need.

And/or use AlacrityPC and/or CCleaner to recover memory.
My memory goes from 35% free to to over 90% free with these.
I also have memory problems if I use nHancer.

First dont play for hours without saving.

Ive never had a CTD with either SH3 or 4.

Win XP 2 gigs of ram.

Exactly right. I blamed myself for my costly CTD. It only made my sorrow more painfull

ok..I have 4 gigs of ram though but I'll give it a shot next time...lest hope that unescorted convoy is scripted...maybe this'll give me a chance to intercept that task force I missed!

If the game continues to crash on you ... and you're using mods ... be sure to list the mods next time you post.
