I mentioned this in another post yesterday, forgot which thread. I have a MacMini with OS 10.13 and i7 processor. Granted, my fiber connection has obvious variability so I can't attribute *all* the crashes to TLOPO servers. But here are some common causes:
1. Joining a group of 4 or more ships that are circling around with several hunters in a kind of maelstrom = fun but serious risk of crash
2. Turning to fight a hunter just before anchoring at port when "stuffed to the gills"
3. Playing on Abassa makes the above much more likely, even with <100 ppl on that server/ocean
4. Playing on a server with <5 ppl but after midnight Pacific time = tons of lag and some crashes. That's maintenance time at TLOPO?
