Game keeps crashing on me, please help.
This is my first post, and and I was kinda hoping I wouldn't need to, but I'm tired of hitting my head against the wall.
I managed to get sh4 uboat working, and I like it, but I keeps crashing on me and killing my mood to play it. There are 2 crashes that happen to me. 1st, sometimes the game just CTD while I'm sailing. There's no real consistency here, so unfortunately I can't give exact details. 2nd, whenever I'm about to sink a ship, the game CTD. The moment before the torpedo impacts, the game just dies. For instance, I hit a tanker with 2 torpedos, and after waiting to see if it sinks, I decide to hit it with a 3rd. Just as it reaches the target, right before the explosion, CTD. I'm not using any mods, but I did try to download them before and I don't know if I cleaned up properly. I am running LAA. Please help, I want to play with the splashy boats. |

since you are a confessed newbie, let's start with the basics. into which folder did you install SH4? it's important. we'll dive deeper once you reply.

It's a steam download, but it's not in the program files folder, either of them. It's in steamapps.
Just double checked, its in the SteamLibrary. Last edited by OmniGundam; 08-25-23 at 04:59 PM. |

are you running under Win10? you should check out this thread which focuses on SH4/Win10. https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=221366

Thinking about it I really only had this problem after taking out FOTRS. Is anyone aware of how to hard reset my files? I feel like that might work.
Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't work fyi. |

CTD - it's not just a job
|
When you take a mod out of SH4, it should leave your SH4.exe the way it was with the Compatibility settings. However, especially when changing out a major mod, such as FotRSU, you do have to empty the Save game folder again, else you have a combination of FotRSU and Stock (or whatever mod you may have added since). Navigate into C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH4 and delete everything, then try to run SH4.exe again.
btw - you will have to re-set all of your Options for the game... |

it didn't. I was about to reach my objective and I CTD.
I did manage to sink something, but it still crashes while sailing. Last edited by OmniGundam; 08-26-23 at 04:26 PM. Reason: Profanity |

To be clear, it doesn't always happen, but its rage inducing when it does. I'd like to stop it if I can.
