Just a Quick Question?

I suddenly have an issue of an error message when playing. I have saved a game, and when I go back to it, I can play for a short moment, say 30 seconds, then I get the error message that it "cannot read the memory at 07d065d07" memory error, or something to that effect. I can hit okay, and then it closes the entire game, or I can hit cancel which then is supposed to debug the program. Also says something about SH3 application.

I have experienced this in the past, but have noticed that if I change something as soon as I get the game back up, like speed, or direction, or crew management, I can usually go past it and not crash.

Could it be that I added a few mods to the game during a patrol? I added the sound mod, interior angles mod, international news mod, and missions warning mod.

Should I delete this career and start all over?:oops: Or maybe just go to the start of this patrol and try again........

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Always add mods while docked in port for peace of mind :yep:

Some will work while at sea - Graphics ( one for one swop ) and messages seem ok
Sounds can sometimes be troublesome

Not sure what the " interior angles mod" is but my guess is this is the problem one

Hope you are not too far into your career :oops:

Not sure what the " interior angles mod" is

You know when you initiat a dive in the command room view the deck angle seems to be a bit askew to one side? almost like you are diving to the right instead of straight ahead... (also an issue when you surface the boat is tilted to one side when it shouldnt be)

this "interior angles mod" corrects that issue.

I went home at lunch and even though it killed me since I was attacking a convoy with no escorts alive, I went ahead and started over.

I only played a few moments but it didn't have an error.

I'll have more time this evening, and hopefully can get back to the point where I found the convoy, and start the killing all over again.

Otherwise, with GWX2.1, who knows what I'll find....

Thanks for all the ideas!

Just some tips: there are a bunch of things to avoid. Here are a few that I can think of...

1) Don't save games anywhere near other objects (ships & aircraft) or land. A lot of people experience ctd's when they do this.
2) Don't save while submerged. Same reason as #1.
3) Don't use the crew configuration screen to move crew around. Do it manually. See the GWX manual for details about that one. Although I've never had a crash when I've used it a lot of people have.
4) Avoid using high TC (64x +) near large convoys. The game starts to really lag & may crash on you.

Hope that this is useful to you.:)

I have noticed a few of those........

Especially the time compression around convoys, I have got so used to it that when I am on the map view and my ship slows down or stutters, I know something is close.

I am trying to really change the way I play this game, and focus on more of the emmersion of it. Trying to stay inside the bout versus outside views.

Its hard because the graphics are so great now!:|\\
