SH 5 crashes Alot!

[Pleijp]

Mostly when i use TC or just at random some times I can play for an hour or 2 but sometimes it crsahes every minute.

This is becomming very annoying as the load times are just something you might imagine from a game in the 1990's.

And I'm even using SSD's!!

But anyone got a remidy for the CTD problem? or experience the same problems?

[Zedi]

Most of the time is caused by mods, soup of mods.
First of all you shold list the mods you use now and also your system spec.

[THE_MASK]

Its either your system or mods because SH5 never crashes for me .

[Pleijp]

Fiddled around with some mods and it looks stable now.. dont know wich one was the culprit yet though.

Can it be the order in wich you aply sertain mods overwriting etc?:hmmm:

For future reference, problems like this should be worked scientifically.
Never change more than one thing, then test. If the problem goes away, the last change was the one that fixed it.

Changing things the other way should be the same. Never add more than one mod at a time. When it seems stable, add the next.

[pickinthebanjo]

I've only had one crash. And the order of the mods is important to an extent, when you are using mods that overwrite each other

I keep getting a ctd whenever im trying to sneak out of a port after hitting a capital ship - first time it happened in portsmouth i thought the save game must be corrupt, but tried again in scapa flow, hit a battleship went to run and ctd again :( I then went through the process of removing the mods installed recently / testing but no joy? any ideas or this happened to anyone else?
Thanks

Try deleting the last playable file and going back to the previous file.

One problem area I had was the "in base" save file, I deleted it and restarted the previous game and alls well since, the problem was with me I'm afraid.

I have found that corrupted saves are invariably shown to be about 600k+ in size, while good saves are always 7Mb+ in size. I often double check both my saves and in-game saves to see if they're to be trusted. :hmmm:

I hope this helps. :salute:

this is interesting, I never thought of file corruption. Mine crashed again this week, while in base again, might try saving under another file name. :up:

I wonder if we will get type 9b boats from ubisoft at some point, I'm thinking about SH4 and the UBM which followed on, be nice, if it worked ita be even better, lol

I'll be in my bunk, sid :zzz:

I, too, have found it to be an iffy situation to save while in the base port. Get the heck out of there and save when you get out into open water.

Happy hunting! :salute:

Also the crashes caused by mod just really is a sign we need a stable supermod. But that seems to be a pipedream really. At least if you wish for another GWX.

[moha14881]

The CTD happens when I try to exfil Portsmouth after sinking ark royal and some others using TC and in map!!!:doh::o:/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!

[moha14881]

Also, after enabling the snorkel and starting a new game I get an instant CTD:wah::88)

Any ideas? :88)

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Stumppi

I am pretty sure that Barf is not compatible with 7-4-2 and that’s probably where your trouble is.

There is one way to find out try without barf and you will probably get the answer.

I am not sure about this mod probably is ok.

Reduced Mission Tonnage v02

Have you thought of replacing Reduced Mission Tonnage v02 and Barf with Open Horizons II v2.5?

You need this patch to go after Steel Vikings Interior

Thank you for your quick answer, THEBERBSTER. I will try these out shortly! :sunny:
I have given some thought for Open Horizons II, but I am so scared about the manual TDC. o.O Maybe I will try to learn it after I have completed my summer semester... So much to do right now. :(

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Stumppi

I cannot see any reason why you cannot continue to use Auto TDC.

You can always make a change in the 'Options' 'Game Play Settings' for 'Manual' or 'Auto' targeting.

OHII opens up the Campaigns.'

See my tutorial Post #64

It also makes improvements to the players objectives.

The link below will explain better than I can.

Start a new Career when you are ready and select your hardness level.

You can make any further adjustments in 'Game Play Settings.'

Peter

[Stumppi]

Hmmmm.. Somehow I understood that auto TDC is not available with OHII :oops:. Wow... I will definitely install that one!

Thank you.. Again! :Kaleun_Cheers:

Then I installed the following MOD:

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS]

The Wolves of Steel 1.02
The Wolves of Steel 1.02_Patch 5

But every time I want to start an new campaign, I can chosse my operation, but when i want to set engines ahead slow, it crashes to desktop. Any ideas? :wah:

Still doing something wrong here? :wah:

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Stumppi

Try replacing this

Real Environment - Revision_3

With this

Dynamic Environment mod

DynEnv v2.9 - 1. Main Mod

High Resolution Folder 1

Contains 28 mods. Base mod is folder 1

DynEnv v2.9 - 2. Main Mod Low Resolution Patch

Low Resolution Folder 15

See my tutorial Post #119 for the full list of 28 mods

Any additional mods go behind the base folder 1

If that does not work try removing these

SteelViking's Interior Mod V1.2

Do not change mods over in mid patrol only in the bunker or before
starting a new career.
