Silent Hunter IV- Crashes when any external view is used

[TorpX]

You might want to try experimenting with turning off/down some of the graphic options. I found my frame rates were rather low because of the 'volumetric fog' effect. This only occurred in the exterior views, of course.

SH4 is a pretty old game, I'm surprised anyone would need the LAA to run it. I've never needed it.

That actually does work for me. But I LIKE the graphics cranked all the way out. I run 1600*900 at 60hz with everything but environmental effects turned on. (Can't stand being able to see through my crew.) The only thing that drops me below 60 fps is something moving into range. I use vertical sync so my laptop doesn't get too hot. It gets rather toasty making 130 fps. When I don't make it LAA I can't look outside with those settings. As soon as I go to periscope or deck view, "SH4.exe has stopped working." With LAA I only crash when something else (accidental unplug or quicktime update, etc.) happens.
