Default Crash after sinking.

Okay, I have narrowed it down to the fact that it crashes after I sink a ship. I save the game then exit. Then I try and load the save and it crashes to desk top. It doesnt matter what type of sub I am using or when in the war I start. Always the same thing.

Is it a single ship and always the same type?

If it is one ship of a convoy, then the "Golden Rules of Saving the Game" may be important:
- never save in vicinity of enemy ships
- never save when you are dived
- never save when you are to close to shore

It can be a single ship or part of one of the small convoys you have running around in the Baltic. I havent even been able to get into a regular front flotilla yet. I never break any of the rules you mentioned above, I have been playing SH3 and 4 for 4 years now so I have a good handle on the do's and dont's of saving. And it isnt always the same type of ship.

Hello J0313,

you may skip the first Mission and terminate while you are in harbour.
Then transfer to a front-flotilla and continue your career there.

Btw:
Did you change any equipment before starting at the Erprobungsstelle?

Regards
Blueduck

I actually have tried skipping the first mission and it still crashes after I sink a ship. However this was with a VIIC/42. I dont know if it will work with a VIIC or any other boat. Yes I have changed equipment while in Erprobungsstelle.

Well that is what you should NOT do!
Take the boat as it is in the Erprobungsstelle or in the front-flotilla for the first mission.
Then, when you are back after the first mission or when you transferred to the front-flotilla improve it there!

Regards
Blueduck

PS: It is best practise if you go back to the main menu after every transfer or improvement.

I wish you would have told me that earlier! HaHa! Lets give that a try and see what happens then.

Default I guess I will wait.

I am going to wait for the 6.0 version. The game still crashes after I sink a ship. So I will be anxiously awaiting the new version with all of the great addons and additions. Thanks Blueduck and my best for you and yours.

Default I cant.

Sorry Brett but I deleted that install and the mod profile for LSH. I just decided to wait for 6. I appreciate the helping hand though.

Actually if you look at post #834 I show the order. I had forgotten about that.

ok maybe best to wait till version 6, however some of what you are experiencing was covered in a recent post and this mod:
TheDarkWraith_DC_Water_Disturbance_v4_0_SH3

was determined to possibly be related to the CTD after sinking a ship. Check out this post if your interested:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=203350

toward the end you can see some possible causes, in my case it was defitely Lifeboats and debris 4 conflicting with another mod i have

I just bought a new computer, and I finally have the PC-Power to try this mod! Downloading now...

I have two questions, however, and I apologize in advance if they are stupid questions.;

Is this mod compatible wth SH3 Commander? and can this mod be used with the Steam version of SH3?

Thanx.

for question 1 yes it should be might want to look for some extra files though because many of the megamods have filed to add to SH3 commander and i cant remember if that was the case also with LSH3. As for question 2 it should be able to.
