CapnScurvy did a TEC write-up here on SubSim about his experience with Windows 10 64-bit installation, installing SH4, applying mods and using LAA in Windows10; Large Address Aware; SH4 Install. He has links to what he used there (LAA), which uses an dotNet interface that might also have to downloaded. Then there is the NTCore version 4Gig Patch, as well as a quickie that Jeff-Groves did a while back, but I cannot find it again... sigh - I'm getting old and losing things - besides my mind...

I would be more inclined to suspect an SH4.exe that is write-protected, or if using the Windows GUI (A Soviet Fanboi), right-click on the SH4.exe and choose "Properties" from the bottom of the context menu, and on the first "General" tab showing from that, under the "Attributes" section, be certain that the "Read-only" tick box is cleared. Then LAA or NTCore 4Gig Patch should take. I do not remember if the NTCore applet throws an error for you or not, but LAA for certain does not. You have to open it again to look-see what happened.

Ok so now I played the game by applying the LAA patch and the game is running ok now, no CTDs encountered till now and I am near the Ireland-British gapping, and I have encountered a convoy too. And I also never exceeded the time compression of 1024x after reaching the AM grid so that may be one of the reason why the game didn't crashed. Anyways thanks for your suggestions.

X1024 is a maximum only for crossing ocean, where poor chances of getting any action...all around Great Britain and Biscaye Bay in France, best is to run max X256 otherwise you will miss planes and action, not to say to be prone to CTDs (as for SH3 BTW)
