Hello. I have a big problem. With Every plugin that I install the game crashes. I play a couple of minutes and then everything stops. I tried NAM and the game crashes. Whats the problem?

What are your system specs?

I had a similar problem with my computer running on an AMD 6400 dualcore and an ATI 3870. There where three things that helped stabilising the game: Running the graphics adapter in high performance mode, thereby forcing it to practically disable anisotropic filtering and antialiasing (the game apparently doesn't like both), running the game itself in software rendering mode (you won't notice a difference compare to hardware but SC4 is definitely not good at running with modern hardware renderers) and the most important of all: forcing the game to run only on one of the two cores (SC4 does not like multi-core CPUs much).
