System breakdown after 2 hours playing...

Sure sucks alright
At least the devs learned something and put an autosave in SH4 so even if you forget the system doesnt

Did you have a low system memory pop up by the sys tray ?

No, I popped in a new 1 gig memory card some days ago, so that shouldn't have been the problem.
I just went *poof* to the desktop...

But hey, at least I learned something (save the game every 10 minutes....)

Sad but true. I've only had a couple ctd like yours.

The rest have been errors. At least a half a dozen different ones.

GWX \ SH-3 is my favorite game bar none.

I'm stuck playing SH4 at MAX settings loaded with mods and haven't had 1 problem.

So I know thank heaven it's not my rig.

Good Luck.

Yeah...unfortunately I am experiencing the same thing....I was about two hours into a patrol and had just ripped a convoy when the same thing happened....the game locked up for a second and then I got the error msg. Silent Hunter has encountered an error and must shut down.....boy I hate that......Rick

Mines when I'm at peri depth, their in my crosshairs and I'm just ready to push big red button.

Or worse is when I hit them and am watching the fire works.

I had it were the screen went to blocks of smudge. Have since closed down all programs that autoupdate and all is ok.

This sounds like the old Sound Acceleration bug.

Turn your hardware acceleration down by using the sound properties found in the control panel.
