No Mods. (dont Know How Use Them Correctly)
Patches 1.2 GAME STOP RUNNING & GO BACK TO DESKTOP.

I recommend you uninstall. Remove the folder found in MY DOCUMENTS labeled SH4. Reinstall and patch to 1.1 then patch 1.2 OVER 1.1. See if that takes care of it. It has worked for others.

i have the same problem

starting a career in the first moments all is ok, but when i start to TC ,32 or more x the game crash to desktop.

i´m going to uninstall and clean the system of all traces of sh4 and then reinstall. but i´m not sure if it can help.

1.2, no mods installed.

Well, just cleaned and reinstalled.

Now with 1.0, no changes in drivers or background programs,

No more TC Crash to desktop, now i can go out of manila at 512x and 1024x with no problems in the career.

Now i have three options ...

continues with 1.0
apply 1.1 and after 1.2
go direct to 1.2 and forget 1.1

what i have to do ??

seems like 1.2 is a big CTD maker for me, tomorrow i´m going to test more patches but it is really ··"$%&$·¬¬

i´m going to bed now

I had a lot of CTDs after 1.2 and have a similar system as you. This fixed it for me; no CTDs since.

1. Installed recent video drivers. Had ones eight months old. Found new ones one month old. Went with 2x FSAA as I can't see any diffeence between 2x and 4x.
2. Checked virtual memory settings. Found them locked on 2000 MB when XP was asking for a minimum of 3049 MB. Changed to 4500 MB.
3. Unchecked "Enable write combining" after someone here pointed out that ATI cards hate this one. It's on desktop settings (right-click desktop and choose Properties) Display Properties/Advanced/Troubleshoot and uncheck the box.

Has worked fine since then. I have no mods installed either.

I had the same problem as this yesterday. It was because I downloaded the latest Nvidia graphics driver. I "rolled back" the driver to the last driver, and now it works again.
