GWX 1.2 CTD on loadind saved game.

[Reece]

Hi, this may have come up before but I can complete a patrol with no problems but if I save in the middle of a patrol then load game it CTD's, I get as far as the cursor coming up just after the "Not so long ago..." then it CTD's (99%)?:-?:cry:
Any Idea's please?:)
Thanks.

Reece,

I had the same problem, but mine was due to modding up and something to do with the menu_1024_768 file.

Silent Hunter III/data/Menu

I'm unsure what I did to stuff up the loading but I went back to the old menu_1024_768 file that I was using prior and the game loaded without a drama. Its strange that yours is hanging at the same point as mine (Not so long ago). Thats the only thing I can think of, have you altered your menu_1024_768 file lately :hmm:

[Reece]

Not lately, my SSP mod has the menu_1024_768.ini modded but should't be affected. I am running SH3 Commander though, can never actually get to play a game!!, so far I have only completed 1 patrol with GWX, allways something stuffs up!!:nope:

Reece mate, assuming no hardware or other external influences, your SH3 simply has conflicting mods installed. Nothing else about it.

Remove all your changes and try again.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!:cry::cry::oops::oops:

[Reece]

I rolled back SH3 Commander the disabled all mods in JSGME then checked both !BACKUP folders & they were both blank, so I put mods back in & started new carreer & patrol without SH3 Commander, have saved & loaded 4 times with no CTD's.:-?:)
If you read this Jaesen would there be anything in the imported GWX SH3 Commander cfg files that may cause a problem with some mods? Could you tell me what would happen if I run with stock SH3 Commander (v2.7)?:yep:
Thanks

That happens to me a lot-seems like corrupted save games (somewhere I read that
saving underwater may corrupt-but I'm driving an XXI so sue me for staying under).
I save it 3 times before logging and exiting, that way at least one of them is sure to
work when I reload.

[Reece]

Mine were all on the surface at the time I saved & loaded causing the CTD, will be interesting what Jaesen has to say!:yep:

Let's start with a question - have you added the CORRECT set of GWX Cfg files to your SH3Cmdr install? There is a set for stock GWX and a *different* set for GWX 1.02. Running the wrong set with the wrong GWX install will cause problems. Likewise running GWX with NO set of files or with NYGM files.

If your answer is "Yes", then you might want to disable ALL mods and add them in one by one, testing in between to find the one mod that doesn't like the "default" SH3Cmdr/GWX combination.

TBH mate, the SH3Cmdr Cfg files are set up for the respective mods. If you subsequently mod your game, you may have to tweak the SH3Cmdr Cfg files too. Neither I or the GWX team provide ANY guarantee that our products will work when manually modded after installation. All we can guarantee is that SH3Cmdr will work with an unmodded GWX 1.02 CTD free when you install the correct set of GWX cfg files into SH3Cmdr.

Prolly no consolation to you, but that's the best answer I can provide. CTDs are a risk everyone who mods their game (be it stock, GWX, NYGM, WAC, whatever) has to take...

That may explain a few things, the GWX SH3 Commander cfg files I'm using are from "GWXCfg4SH3Cmdr.zip", I have version 1.2 but didn't know there were cfg files for this.:oops:
I will source the the 1.2version out & if any are used in my mods I will have to edit them before placing them in!:D
Thanks Jaesen.:up:

Click my sig an look under "Files for SH3 Commander Users".

The same happend to me but I noticed that CTD occur only when I overwrite existing save game. In other cases everything works fine.
I have installed GWX 1.2 on CLEAN SH3 1.4 and I use SH3Comm 2.6.
Yes, I copy GWX 1.2 config files to SH3Comm cfg directory.

Hi OuNiS, that's actually strange, I always save between 2 files only and never have problems, but if I have similar CTD's I will give it a try, hopefully I don't!:yep:
Have now installed the latest cfg files & will start a new Campaign & see how it goes, also thought I'd add the new skins as well.;)
Thanks Jaesen.:up:
