I think its overheating, after which it will do a safety-auto-shutoff. Laptops are not built for gaming.
bull****t. This is a gamer laptop,where i am doing fsx and oblivon 4 perfectly well without any crashes.Know,imagine fx10 which has awesome graphic,the best you can get, and my computer runs it perfectly. This is a game issue. 2 year ago maybe that statement could be true, but know you have gamers laptops.

This is a game issues.I have a program to watch the heat of the processors of both of the gamecards and processor,where both are under 50%.
Now, not know, I not i, and no swearing please. Very credible post.

Well,i give this Silent hunter 4 up. Its not only that problem i have, random crashes all the time,on my BOTH computer, i also have a station pc.But im sure some of you also will say its wrong with my second computer? Which also have the newest drivers, etc? Well,it might be a good rescue from the programmer to say that all of the bugs is from the computers.But, i dont buy that. This game is still a beta game. It should never have been released.The graphic is a little better than sh3,In fact, why play sh4 which are not working 100% when sh3 do?

Despite popular opinion, Try turning off vertical sync both on the card and via the cfg file. I am using a D810 equipped with the X600 card and 1 gig of RAM and believe it or not it works fine...mostly. I have none of the eye candy enabled but when I turned on vertical sync it would crash. Frequently.

Cheers!

I agree, SH4 is full of bugs, but I have found not an instable game. I had instability when I patched from 1.1 to 1.2, but after reinstalling and going straight to 1.2, that instability is gone.

As far as the problems with you normal pc go: post your specs. There are plenty of helpful people here willing to assist you in finally enjoying the game, for all its faults.

Regarding you laptop. I know there are things out there called "gamers" laptops. I really want to believe you, but I have seen enough trouble in my time involving games on laptops. And that includes both excellent laptops as well as perfect games with regard to stability. My advice: don't use laptops for gaming, EVER. If that makes me biassed, so be it, but you're the one with the problems .
