Query -- CTDs -- Without latest Patch And With Or Without Mods Enabled

[jwilliams]

I've not had a single CTD.
There could be many reasons why you get CTD.

what are your pc specs?
Do you have any other programmes running while playing SH5?
What settings are you using in the game?
What graphic drivers do you have installed?
Is your hardware overheating?



My specs :-

Athlon 3500+ (singlecore CPU)
Radeon HD4870 (1gb gddr5)
Display Driver 10.3
4gb RAM
Windows XP pro. 32bit

Programmes also running :- Only have antivirus programme and ATI CC running.

All settings on max. except AA, which is on x2. Resolution 1280 x 1024

Hardware temps :-

CPU 30.3 celcius
GFX 40.6 celcius

My graphics card got hot while playing some other games (over 80 celcuis) so i fitted a second fan sucking air in through the front of the case (blowing Air towards the GFX card), and it almost halfed the temp (This was long before i got SH5).
