This is happening for me too. Any suggestions beyond clearing the cache?

It CTDs intermittantly

[THE_MASK]

Right click the SH5 EXE and go to compatability settings . Tick the box run program for windows 7 etc . See if you get the FTH applied using Dbgview . Also dont TC over 256 . See how that goes .

[V13dweller]

I TC over 1000 with no problems at all.

[Sjizzle]

When u are running more then 256 the game will not react so fast on any contacts and u can be destroyed by an enemy ship , destroyers or when u are near the land u can easy damage the u boat that's it why sober or other players recommend u to not go over 256 tc.

[Bathrone]

TDW is there anyway to patch the debugging?

the debugging fails in this context and doesnt provide a useful crash dump

I checked the windows systems logs and nothing in there either

Dam without the source this is so hard to debug when the debugging wont dump the state prior to the crash

The only thing I noticed while looking over the exe code is you can add the following to your \SH5\data\cfg\main.cfg file:

[DEVELOPING]
Modding=Yes
MenuEditor=Yes
DebugScripts=Yes
MiniDump=Yes

Not exactly sure what the minidump=yes does but when the game encounters this line in the file a new object is created called minidumper. Other than that haven't seen anything else so far.

Why don't you enable my SH_NClient patch in my Generic Patcher to get rid of this? By enabling that patch the SH_NClient is never created (thus is null and the game ignores anything dealing with it) thus this should never happen.

Never happened to me, and I have been playing for over 5 months using it, It could be my powerful computer.

Have you ever been in Documents/SH5/Data/Cfg/main?
Set all contacts (friendly and ennemy) to =1
It should be fine again :yep:

Like below for instance, this is how i setted mine:

[TIME COMPRESSION]
; The first value is the default one, the second value is used when 'travel mode' is activated.
; The two values should be separated by a comma.
; If only one value is specified, that value is used for both default and travel mode.
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=64
CriticalDamage=256
CrewEfficiency=128
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=32
CharacterAnim=32
FriendDetected=1
EnemyDetected=1
RadioReport=1
Particles=32
PrayState=8,32
HunterState=8,32
3DRender=32
Maximum=1024

Thanks TDW

this is strange as I do have that patch enabled:

Thoughts?

[Bathrone]

Also with that patch enabled, also while in offline mode I still get this message when it crashes

[divingbluefrog]

Same here. I never had this ctd before. This morning, all good, I launch this afternoon, CTD.
I've changed nothing to my config.
I have Uplay off line and all patches about Orbit listener enabled.

[THE_MASK]

Disable all 3 orbit listener patches and start a new career :yep:

[divingbluefrog]

No chance...I guess I'm good to go for my first reinstall, 3 weeks with the very first one, not so bad....

[DannikJerriko]

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but i got the same problem here. Sometimes the game crashed when sighting ships, sometime it crashed when loading savegames, now it already crashes when i'm simply pressing keys like ESC or when i'm slowing down time compression. A crash each 5 minutes of gaming is starting to get annoying...Ideas anyone?

Cleaning the SH5 cache was done, but it didn't help.

I have same problems.
3 patches of Orbit Listener enabled and still CTD SH_ServerOrbitProtocol.cpp (111): Failed to read packet from client.
in debugger.
I started new carrer, it`s crash on first mission - in Danzig bay.

it` really annoying. I can`t play.
My computer is Windows 7 64, 4 GB RAM ATI RADeon 4800.

[Defiance]

Hiya's,

Pinned my woes down to this as well, but only disabling the nh client part

Also a bit of a mod soup me thinks

Def

[=TFO=Katarn]

BeszotPL,

I have NONE of the orbit listener patches enabled,but i do play in offline-mode and i never have had any of the crashes you mention.

I don`t say it`s the solution for your problem but if it works for me it might work for you too.
Our pc-specs are almost the same.

Good luck.

I had crashes contantly and the log was saying the last error was SH_ServerOrbitProtocol.cpp (111): Failed to read packet from client. TDW has said that this log does not give the best advice. Oily Debug View is better.

Earlier withing my error log, it was stated that some registry errors was from the Radeon 4600 cards that I had crossfired. Only in this game was there a problem, not in SH3 or SH4. I updated my card to a Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz EDITION OC 2GB GDDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card. It removed some of my crashes but not all. Read on for what truly fixed my CTDs. I usually have 85+ mods installed, and some are combined.

Read the errors link found in my signature link below to see if that helps.

Try [TEC] Silent CTD Hunter. (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=210153)
It was the options file viewer/editor issues that stopped my random CTDs once and for all over the 9 months of CTDs. Options file viewer/editor is found within the application folder of New UIs for TDC.

[THEBERBSTER]

TDW's OFEV is now available as a stand-alone.

Hiya's,

I re-re-re-re-read lol your howto's

And i was making a gross mistake :(

Adjusting the .py with the viewer whilst mods enabled :oops:

Will get baltic mission done fast and see how it goes before running the generic patcher at next bunker save

:yeah:

[Defiance]

I got no more errors

I made a mistake on a line in generic patcher
As above post was altering .py when mods loaded
And found a mod with folder name/folder name then data etc lol
Finally removed some aloder mods too
Sorted these one after another so either 1 2 3 or all 4 stopped my problems
