[TEC] Game keeps crashing on me, please help.

[OmniGundam]

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.

ok, welcome omnigundam.

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.
