Serious video crash with GTX 660Ti

You do not need LAA with win7 64 bit and the amount of ram you have.

This looks like an issue, if I am reading your information correctly, where the video aspects are not on a dedicated card. Check your listing in the Nvidia control panel and make sure that your GPU is selected and it is not set for AUTO.

Go to the Manage 3D settings and see what your system is using for the global and program settings. Under the Program settings for SH4 make sure it is not using global if you have more than one video connection or card and is only using the GPU from the Nvidia card. If your Global setting is only using the Nvidia card and the program is set for that then it should be ok on that end.

You will find a sticky with the best Nvidia settings for SH4 HERE because no one bothers to look.

I have 8 Gb RAM, an i5 processor, W7 Home Premium 64bits, Nvidia/MSI GTX 750 with 2 GB and I need the 4 GB patch (LAA). Without it, my SH4 crash with TMO RSRDC OTC.

Best regards.

I agree with Fitz. Even with 12 gigs ram, the 4 gig patch solved my crash issues. As for the issue at hand, did you install, or update your Dx9? Even though you may have a later version, the game needs Dx9. Don't worry about installing, it won't over write the later version. Also, and maybe a long shot, run dxdiag and make sure that Graphics acceleration is enabled. Good luck!

For some reason that Intel HD Graphics 4600 jumps out at me. Intel graphics are integrated into the motherboard. Make sure your onboard graphics card is shut off in your Bios and that your running off your EVGA card.

The reason I mention this is because SH4 and Intel Graphics don't get along very well. It could be the reason your game is crashing.

Haven't had much free time the last couple of days, but I'll give all of these things a try to see if they make a difference. I'm also about to do a long overdue full system wipe and reinstall so that might make a difference as well.

I run win 7 Professional 64 bit 16 gigs ram and have never used the LAA with it. I never have an issues with crashes.

Luck? I run Windows 7 Home Premium with 8gb ram and I crash every time I get near a port and sometimes convoys unless I'm large address aware.
