Default CTDs

Hi,

I had several CTDs when I attacked a convoy the 18th january 1940 in BE91.
I'm playing GWX 2.0+ OLC GUI 1.15.
Can somebody have a look on it, please?

Thanks

What is the error message ?
When the box pops up saying SH3 has caused an error and had to close there is some blue text - click here



click that and you will get another window
In that window is the SH3 error - highlighted in the pic below

Hi,

I saw two Medium Cargos closing through a heavy fog, after having sunk the first... a no-identified ship attacked me with his gun and after there was a DD charging at long range (I cannot tell about the type)... piuf...CTD. That's all!

Thanks for help

Default kiel canal time compression

Hello everyone

Thank you for this great mod. I really appreciate to start a new career with it, and many congrats for the Manual, wich is a true historical book to read, many thanks to the writers !

Btw, i have a question, why in the Kiel Canal the Time compression cannot be set over 4x on some parts ? It makes the trip so long, is there any tips to override this ? Note that I use the auto Kiel route with the search patterns option.

Thank you !

PS : i've looked into the research for this thread, but couldnt see any solution, maybe i missed it, sorry if it has already been posted guys And If you are looking for a cool and easy way to download the mod, think about Bit Torrent

Here's what I do Mate. You'll need to start SH3 thru SH3 Commander. In the SH3 Options of Cmdr...there is an area that allows you to set time compression restrictions to whatever suits you for 15 various situations...in this case..."When Near Land". Set the max to whatever suits you.

For those who don't use SH3 Commander (and I think it's one of the 'must haves') . You can alter the land proximity setting vis the games Basic CFG file.

Regarding time compression settings in GWX, they are pretty much default. Aircraft when spotted in your vicinity... be they enemy or friendly... will drop your TC to 1x. Ships will drop your TC to 8x (I think)... Maximum time compression near land though has been altered upwards by us to 128xTC.

If yours is different. You probably have a bad installation. (If you are not using SH3 Commander that is.)

Also if you check our website, we've had a bit torrent source since release day.

Thank you all, actually I was editing the wrong main.cfg, located in "c:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII", and was surprised it wasnt working. :hmm: But then I found that in fact you have to modify the main.cfg in "Documents\SH3"' :rotfl:

Lehman, I've found the torrent on your website.

This sounds like we experience similar crashes. I still couldn't find out what causes them. As for bigboywooly's suggestion, I usually don't even see the crash notification window, SH3 directly crashes to desktop. I have a number of dump files in the temp folder though ...

Default Message log texted colour change.

GWX members or anyone who has tweaked menu_1024_768.ini file, I could use your help. JCwolf I could use your wisdom also.

Below I post a pic showing how hard it is to see the text under certain backrounds.
http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...textcolour.jpg

Which line in the ini file would I have to change the colour? :hmm:
http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...extcolour2.jpg

Also what colour code could you suggest I use in this situation? Or is there a website that shows different colour code for the dummies like me?

Thanks for your time and good hunting all.
