New Graphic Glitch and Crashes

[Grifty_mcgrift]

Hello again everyone,

I haven't played SH5 in a long time. I took a break from it a few months ago. But I decided to give it a try again and after spending the afternoon updating my mod list, I went to play and I encountered a lot of crashing and some new graphic glitches that I have never seen before.

The first time I tried loading Happy Times campaign, it crashed to desktop before loading completed. When I tried a second time, it finished loading, but when I got into the subpen, I could see U-boats and other ships, but everything else on the screen was white. Has anyone ever encountered this before and has some suggestions for how to fix it? I have included a copy of my mod list that I got from Silent Steel I believe who posted his list on the Mod loadout list thread. I also have an AMD card that has probably updated its drivers since the last time I tried playing. Are there any adjustments or settings to fix for my AMD card? I think I recall someone suggested adjusting settings for my graphics card, but I can't remember what those settings were. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I tried working on it myself, now I'm getting even stranger problems. When I load up a game, every single UI or Hud appears on the screen at once, as well as black or white on the screen, and a lot of crashing to desktop. Any suggestions or help would be great. Thanks.

what does it say in the top right corner of the screen in the main game menu? v1.2? if not, you're not patched to lastest patch and will cause these problems.

I also see you're missing the patch for MO. This will cause problems also.

I also see you're missing the patch for MO. This will cause problems also.
I was under the impression that if you apply the Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1_Patch_2, the actuall MO-files in the SH5 MODS folder (available in JSGME) still read as Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1.
I know it patched correctly, because a file was replaced.

[Grifty_mcgrift]

I have version 1.2 and I was almost certain I had MO patched with patch 2. Is there another version or patch for MO I'm not aware of? Also, looking at my rather extensive Mod list, is there anything there that is really hard on system resources? I find load times are extremely long and I get a lot of crashing to desktop. Is there anything on my list that requiers a lot of a system resources and is something I could live without?

Also, TDW, If I have MO installed, do I need your New UI's mod? Could having both be what is causing all the UI's and HUD's displaying on the screen at once? Or am I just not doing something right in the settings? Thanks again for everyone's help.

Yes, MO has an old version of NewUI, so you want to have both.

So I managed to solve the problem of multiple UI's appearing on the screen at once, but now I have a new set of glitches. It seems like everyday there is a new problem. Anyway, in the subpen, when I approach the commander, there is a bizare lighting effect where it almost looks like the screen is burning because there is orange and yellow lights that turn to white. I think it has something to do with lighting, because it also happens when I look towards the lights on the wall. Also, on the mission select screen, I probably get about one frame per minute. And of course, crashing to desktop. Any new ideas or suggestions?

Put the shadow slider to halfway in the ingame graphic options .

Thanks for the suggestion Sober. The shadow slider was halfway when I first had the problem. I tried it with shadows all the way, but that just resulted in it locking up and crashing. Are there any other suggestions? Could any of my mods be causing the problems? Also, I seem to recall a long time ago someone suggesting changing settings on my graphics card. Does anyone have to change settings on their card to get better performance, things like anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, mipmap detail, or vertical refresh?
