Station view reset
Is there any way to reset the various station views to defaults?
I find that if I use the camera controls to move my "Bridge" view around, as I must when part of the sub or someone's head is in the way, the view stays there across saving & loading. Also - I am having a persistent problem with the game crashing when I try to load a recent save. I am not touching the savegame folder between playing sessions, so I don't understand how the saves can get "corrupted" just sitting there. I get as far as the "No mission too difficult" screen that you see just before getting into the actual game. Typically, I'll have to go way back in my patrol. Once or twice, I've had to go all the way back to the "OnLeavingBase" auto-save & restart that patrol. I've already lost one war career this way, because I had already deleted the oldest saves. This will happen between sessions of SH4. Rebooting my PC has no effect. FWIW, I am usually running in Windowed mode. Tried Fullscreen and while I can load some of the later saves that previously would just crash, they also crash after a minute or so of playing. Rats.

Thing is, they also respawn. I'll go in, sink a couple of carriers and destroyers, then go reload torps. When I come back, those ships are alive again. Odd.

I'm positive it was the Ansyu Maru. When I saw the Yamato, it was maybe around late 1942 If that is historically accurate, then I need to go to the library and check out some books to refresh my knowledge.

You don't even need to go to a library. This site has oodles of data on Japanese merchant shipping in the WW2 era:
https://maritime.org/doc/id/oni208j-...hips/index.htm I don't know whether it existed at the time SH4 was being developed, but would have been an amazing resource.

One cause seems to be shelling out to another program, or, as in my case, having the manufacturer very helpfully interrupt with popups for the latest "enhancements". |

the only way i found to cure it was to delete the entire SaveGames folder with all of the subfolders (and lose your career) or de-install SH4 (completely) and re-install to a slightly different named folder...also deleting the SaveGame folder. sorry, buddy. don't shoot at me...shoot at UBI for designing a weak-kneed save-load module. good luck.

External camera Solved
Solved(After a fashion)!
My thanks for your replies and suggestions. After laboriously reinstalling everything, I discovered the external camera seems to always on. All I have to do is use the arrows to get back into the bridge. I tend to panic easily when working with computers. Thanks again |

I hope that you are able to get this resolved because I know how frustrating it can be to go back to an earlier save and lose all the tonnage you sunk! : salute:

Machine has 16 GB RAM, and I enabled Large Address Aware, so the game should not be running out of RAM.
I've watched the game's resource use in Task Manager while running in Windowed mode. RAM consumption never goes beyond about 1800 MB, even when the game crashes. So I don't see how it could be running out of RAM.

Not so much your RAM, but the OS and the game. Do you have other mods loaded? Try removing them one at a time and see what happens. Are there "utility" programs running in the background of Windows? Try closing them one at a time and testing. I'm not talking about a virus scanner or firewall - unless they're just plain inefficient... But use your Resource Monitor to view what's happening with other apps. It's been a while since I was "into the depths" of Windows and all things Microsoft, but SH4 probably runs in a "shared memory" area, since it's an older, "legacy" app, so it probably runs with everything else "legacy". Even with LAA and 16g of RAM, the game is still limited to a set amount of resources by Windows. The OS and applications written for 64-bit addressing can use the 16g, but not SH4. Maybe 4gig...

Do you always save in different slots and don't load autosaves? |

Nope. Sometimes the "OnLeavingBase" autosave is all that's left of my career, so I have no choice but to start over from there.
