Major Malfunction

What OS?

It's never a good idea to install games to the default folder (under Vista/Win7).

Tried running without mods? Did it work before?

It worked up until last week, really. Then again, I took about a month or two break from the sim, so...

Seems to only happen during time compress.

Mods are TMO 2.2, RSRDC (but it happened before I put it in), smaller seabed plants, smaller seabed rocks, and AA light damage mod for TMO

Sounds familiar, did you try posting in the SH4 Mods section?
Do any other applications have problems?

Nope, I mean, I did a long time ago, but that was a different issue on a different computer and different OS

Only other application that has issues is FSX.

Since the issue only started recently with the one game (FSX might not be related) I'd say that it is a SH4 issue, maybe your game save is corrupt, pity you don't have a backup of your SH4 install, I assume you don't use Norton Ghost?

If its crashing only during time compression - which screen are you in?

Map, deck, etc
?

Check your vid card temps. Disable any mods and test it. Then add them in one at a time to see what hoses.

Usually periscope. Seems only to happen when I'm attacking.

If the save game is corrupt, this would be the second time in 3 weeks... And it would make sense that it always happens in the same area. I've never had it on the way to the harbor I'm supposed to attack.
