[chopped50ford]

Okay, Im using these mods:

TM 1.5
TM 1.5 GFX PAK
Muzzle Flash 1.1
Smoke on Water Beta2
Map Table Mod 1.3
360 Bearing Plotter 1.4
Captain Midnights CBS
Add Stations Fred8615 V3
Less Water Limber Holes
NSM 3.0 Classic
Armed Forces Radio
SB 13 PersonVewCameras Mod v1.0
Balao Hi-Res USS Balao Skin

I did some changes like add (more like duplicate and add diff channels) some radio stations in the Radio.ini (configuration file)

I also try to changed the ships name to the Seahorse instead of the ever so used Balao name.

Here are some changes in the Active UserPlayerUnits UPS File (not in UPCInitial File):

[U]Note: The same changes exist in the UPCInitial Folder in Saved Games folder.

I changed the names just so I didnt have to be on the USS Balao and went into game play. Nothing changed, it seemed the Balao name resorted back to the way it was (as indicated in the help thread if you did not make the file a 'read only') Didnt think anything of it.

Pulled into port, loaded up, did a few changes to the boat like add 40mm to bow and stern for AA, and headed out to sea. The orders page came up, and to my suprise, the name was changed to Seahorse. Opted to start outside of port (Pearl Harbor), load screen comes up...and 1/4 into the load screen bar, it goes right to desktop (CTD).

Anyone have any ideas?

The mods I have have not given me any troubles...so I think I can elimiinate that issue...would the name change be a conflict?

Not sure. Did you try to load a previously saved game before the name change? See if she loads an older saved game.

yes and it worked, But the Balao boat name came back as before. It only CTD after I got back to port and it initialized the new name change in its documents. (orders)

Another thing...I loaded up a NEW career...and it loaded just fine.

I think the name change might be creating conflict.
