Default dumbist ways you have died?

So here is something that has been on my mind. I will often save because I seem to either have a habit of CTDing or dying in some really stupid ways, like once I was playing and was in perfect position, then im informed that im being attacked. Little did I know the game threw me on the surface even though (yes I checked) I didn't order it. Or because of lag when you go to do an order it does not do it. Its happend to me where a sonar contact was getting close so I clicked silent running and because of the lag it didnt do it no matter how many times I mashed the button. So I guess my question is what is the dumbist way you have died, and also what is your limit of WTH IS THIS that you dont accept it as a death and go back to a prior save?

Sounds to me like you have a very slow CPU. Or were running at high TC. The game rarely, if ever, lags for me, but I could imagine it would be unplayable if it did.

Ram Booster bit of an old app.May increase some percentage of (ram) in a rig, but now I do not think there are many who use it.There are other app. That is preferred instead,

What would you recommend Vendor ...


I have 2 gigs of matched ram and I can't afford to up-grade right now so a little boost would be nice

www.GameBooster.com might help because it shuts down unwanted programmes giving more power to you system - i got it to shut down about 30 programmes running in the back ground. but with www.AlacrityPC.com i got it shut down near 100 unwanted programmes running in the back ground - but it is a bit of a devil to set up yet worth it when it works.
