In regards to CTD, I experienced one as well with fresh install, and GWX 2.1. Engaged a convoy in crappy weather, heavy cloud cover, lightning, no rain, 10mps winds. Managed to torp. a large merchant, and had sights on small freighter. Fired torp., and went to external view for a looksee. The freighter "flickered", then disappeared altogeather. When the torp. hit home, image froze, then BSOD. Message said the fault was Ati such and such. I'm assumeing it was the graphics driver which had a problem. I know i don't have the latest Catalyst suite, but never experienced this type of meltdown ever. Reloaded the game, stalked the convoy again, only this time I was detected, and depth charged.

Can't say for sure what happened, or if I need a more updated Driver suite. I'll see if I encounter any more such probs. GWX 2.1 Rocks!



Forgot to mention mods in use: OLC'S GUI for GWX 2.1, and the Water Stream and Exhaust mod. No conflicts mentioned by JSGME, and both mods are awesome.

Had a similar problem with the Community Units mod. I'd save on the surface, nowhere near anything, etc. I'd reload the game & everything would be fine (or so I thought). About 30 minutes to an hour into the reloaded game I'd get a ctd. This happened every time that I used the Community units mod so I uninstalled it. I brought this up in another thread and another member here said that he had found some errors in the mod & was looking at correcting them. Unfortunately real life must have intervened because I haven't heard or seen anything about it since early last month.

No offense to the mod or modmaker(s) is meant by the above comment.

I have been trying to find the problems with the above mods but cannot reproduce the error. On the 10th patrol now, saving 5 times per patrol and haven't had a single error. I have found minor errors in the mods but nothing to account for problems.

If you really want it sorting out, I suggest the following.

Get running with Sh3Commander + updates and GWX 2.1 no other mods. Check for CTD's.

Then list all the mods you want to install and I will assist with the installation.

How's that grab yer. :up:

Have you tested with previous stated setup. Can't help with the kernel.dll error.

Well there are a couple of things can suggest

Click Start, click Run, type dxdiag in the Open box, and then click OK

Go to the sound tab on the DirectX diagnostic tool window

Is the sound acceleration up to full ?
If so drop it down and try running the game
If still CTDs then try drop a little lower

The other thing is graphics

Go to Control Panel then Display
Click the Settings tab then the Advanced tab

Is Hardware acceleration at full ?
If so try reducing a little and again run the game

Report back on how you get on
