Hi Mel

By start game what do you mean?

You cannot "Load Game" from the Main Menu?

Start a "Autosave In Game"?

Have you started a "New Career"?

Use my tutorial post #9 to post your mod list.

Have you tried disabling all your mods.

Staring a "New Career" with a different name and seeing if the stock game will start?

Hi The game is running fine using the above mods.It also runs fine with no mods.
Mods that caused CTD are open horizons II v2.5 and new ui'stdc7.4.2 by the dark wraith.
As previously mentioned I intend when I have the time to start from scratch and formulate a new mod list which I would like you to look at and approve prior to my installing it if that is ok?

Hi Mel

Unfortunately as much as I love this mod I cannot use it due to ctd's.

Stormys DBSM SH5 v1.3 Basemod

TDWs NewUi 7-4-2 with OHII should not be a problem.

You might also consider replacing this 5 year old mod.

Environment 11MOD

Hi Peter
mods installed as above Open horizons appears on heading to main menu but no extra campaigns any idea why?
Regards Mel
SH5 seems to be working ok otherwise.

Hi Mel

FX_Update_0_0_22_ByTheDarkWraith

You are using the wrong patch.
FX_Update_0_0_22__Stock_Torpedoes (modified for torpedoes failure patches)

Notice that it says Stock_Torpedoes.

You have TDW's NewUI so it cannot be Stock.

You used folder 5 but you need to replace this with folder 3.

Regarding Open Horizons check out my tutorial post #64.

All missions are date controlled.

You will not see the next mission until that date appears.

Peter

Thanks Peter will change the patch.
Not sure what TGW'S generic file patcher does and how I use it.
Could you explain please?
Regards Mel

Hi Mel

The Generic File Patcher (GFP) basically fixes the problems in SH5 and also adds a few game play functions as well.

My Tutorial Post #2 will show you how to install the GFP.

Post #3 will show you how to make changes and run the GFP as an administrator.

Post #56 will give you an illustrated basic + set up.

Post #41 will show you how to change the map colours.

Installing TDW's Options File Editor Viewer (OFEV) allows you to personalize many of the settings. Tutorial post #6.

For example making a change in both the GFP and in the OFEV adds a new icon that allows you to be able to go to Decks Awash. Tutorial Post #40

Peter

Hi Peter
Changed to right patch everything fine.Thanks again.
Next job Generic File Patcher.
Regards Mel

Hi Peter
Installed GFP and set up as per your post 56 but when I ask for depth under keel I get a CTD.
Any ideas why?
Regards Mel

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Mel

Where are you going to for depth under keel?

You can either use the icon, bottom left corner.

You can ask the Navigator by selecting the Depth Under Keel icon.




I cannot see anything in the the GFP that would cause your ctd.

I am using the GFP and have never had this problem.

The only problem that I am aware of is sometimes you get the pings and no verbal response.

Have you tested Depth Under Keel in a Historic Mission?

Do you get a ctd every time?.
