Credit to fitzcarraldo and Madox58 for discovering that the ship SMS Schleswig-Holstein introduced in "GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships v7" may be the reason a lot of us use v6 instead. Viewing said ship in the museum yields floating turrets and all other sorts of corruptions, and a CTD occurs after attempting to scroll further down the country list (usually to Greece). I suspect this ship may also be causing the CTDs in campaigns. I'd like to have a discussion about what can be done to address this.
This seems to be fixed now by given new iDs.
Quoted not all, only for my response...

I'm not using ...Naz,Schluese..v7 nor v6, but had also difficulties integrate the Schleswig-Holstein in my installation. The same corruptions in Museum. And, the Ship does nothing. No reaction, no sound, sitting there solid as a rock. The thing gets working then by cloning with Pack3D and Silent3ditor.

What i like to say: when problems occur on fast scrolling in the Museum, then there exist huge problems in the SH3 installation/modification.

And, when you find an ugly looking Ship in the Museum, this does not automatically mean that these Ship is the reason. Some Day ago i had Admiral Hipper with false Scin in Museum, but the Hipper was in no way modified.

What Madox58 suggested years ago was to remove the ship entirely from the roster and sea folders. This fixes the CTD, but I am hesitant due to the unknown effects this might have on the game. I've taken a look through the campaign files in Notepad++ and see that the ship makes several specific appearances. Can anyone more experienced comment as to what might happen if the campaign files call for a ship that has been removed? Removing the entries from the campaign is out of my skill set as I've never used the mission editor or whatever might be used in this case.
Well, i strongly believe you get CTDs if you delete something needed.
The best of, it crashed only when the item is needed. In the 3D-world or on some sort of interaction.

You can test this relativ fast with MissionEditor ME.
- Load scripted Layer SCR, right under Units rightclick first unit. On my install it is "sub Barrikade Ship".
- close ME

- goto SHIII\data\Roster\Environmental\Submarine and move BARR.cfg to a safe place. (do not delete anything!)
- goto SHIII\data\Submarine and move Drawer BARR_ to a safe place.

- reopen ME, SCR, right first Unit, "sub Barrikade Ship"
right click "Center View" ==>works
right click "Properties" ==>Crash<==

- move BARR.cfg and Drawer BARR_ back to its original place.

As you can see, the Crash occour only on interact with item.
When remove something, it should be removed completely. Campaigne files, Roster, Drawer, sometimes no longer needed Librarys.
Another way is not delete but replace. Is more or less identical difficult.

Greetings.
