You need the DX9c on the game disc for the game to work. I also have DX11 with Windows7. The 9c will only update files the game needs, not overwrite the DX11. Also look in the Downloads section for the 4gig patch. All this dose is allow SH4exe to have access to more memory. For me, and others here this has cured some mysterious freezes and crashes.

Here's a link to the 4gig patch http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=2889

Like Fish40 says, make sure you have direct X9 installed. You may also want to check your graphic settings in the ATI control panel. Maybe try turning down your AA settings, see if that helps or not.

It's odd that the lockdowns always happen when the target explodes.

Have you tried to take down some notches on the graphics settings?

Yes, I lowered the resolution to 1080x760 and turned off every effect, with the same results.

I will try the 4Gb patch, and also the Direct9xc and advise.

Thanks again, everyone!

Thanks for the advice, Capt. Von Trapp. I only tried tuning down the graphics in the SH4 Options section. I'll try the ATI settings next.
