I shut my computer off every day, but sometimes, like now, I will dare to run WITP while being on the internet, though I prefer to run WITP standalone. So far I've approximately one CTD, or lockup, per every 4 days playing, in which at least half of those times while in standalone mode. I have NEVER had the save game crash. People are focusing it seems on the back button, but though I have no evidence to support it I think it's the speed button on the TF's instead. You ever notice how when you adjust it in certain circumstances how the box disappears and the 'mission speed' and 'cruise' are both superimposed on the map? For some reason I think it's that. I suppose if somebody that regularly has the CTD's NEVER resets speeds on TF's that would extinguish that theory. I have seen no evidence on my own to suggest it's the back button or accumulation of them, however, any who plays this game over time is going to accrue them. I also have a hunch it might be when you lay one box upon another. What I mean by that, is that you are in one screen, say a TF screen, and instead of closing that window and then going to the base screen, you just hit the base screen, such that the original TF window just gets laid over. I actually am in the habit of closing the window I'm currently on most of the time, just out of habit with other programs, but I sure do prefer overlaping if I remember to do it. I wonder if any of the guys who get these memory leaks are doing overlaps a lot?
