CTD with startdate 1940 onwards in GWX

[diemayer]

Hi folks

My problem with GWX3 is that i crash everytime when i start a 1940 or 1941 campaign, 1939 campaigns seem to work fine.

I thought this might be memory overloading due to large traffic density in later years but i could also load heavy mods like
fm_interior, GWX wilhelms st. Naz Schleuse v6, MEP20km, Aces super turms 6 and even the very high polygonal new type IX models by Wise in single missions and 1939 campaign :hmmm:

Note: I encountered this problem even with a clean GWX3 installation without additional mods, so mod conflict is out of question

Can you help me :06:

Best way to approach this would be for you to post your system specs and a full list of activated mods.

^ What Jim said.

And also...do you use the SH3 Commander? And if so, have you installed the GWX cfg. files for SH3 Commander?:hmmm:

Best way to approach this would be for you to post your system specs
Amd Athlon 7750 2x2.7GHz (~2x2.2/2.3 GHz in practice)
Radeon HD 5450 1 GB DDR3
2 gigs of Ram
and of course good ol' XP 32 bit

and a full list of activated mods.

:D

maybe it wasn't quite clear what I said. I used additional Mods for testing purpose but i am now experiencing these problems on a clean installation of Silent Hunter 3 1.4b + GWX 3.0

I made some testruns and here are the results:


1939 - Kiel/1.Flotilla works fine
1939 - Wilhelmshaven/2.Flotilla works fine
1939 - Koenigsberg/7;13.Flotilla no problems either

1940 - Kiel crash while loading
1940 - Lorient crash
1940 - St. Nazaire ""
1941 - Kiel ""
1941 - St. Nazaire ""
1942 - Bergen ""
1943 - La Spezia ""
1944 - Penang ""
1945 - Flensburg ""

it crashes with message "Silent Hunter III encountered a problem...blablabla"

So, only the 1939 startdate seems to work
I haven't tested proceeding into the next year with a 1939 career, so i don't know if it will crash

And also...do you use the SH3 Commander? And if so, have you installed the GWX cfg. files for SH3 Commander?:hmmm:
yes, i have SH3 commander installed, also with the GWX cfg files. However i haven't modified my GWX installation with it.


i could also think of a corrupted installation or JSGME made rubbish while disabling Mods.
So for now i'm going to delete everything and reinstall SH3+GWX and see if this fixes the problem

Ok reinstallation fixed the problem :smug:
(the crashes might have been caused by remaining mod files)

[HW3]

I have found that to be the best option. I have had problems in the past with rolling back all the JSGME mods, deleting the data file, and using a saved plain data file updated to 1.4b. A complete reinstall is always the best way to do it.:yep:

[Myxale]

Good to know it worked out.
Reinstalling can be a bore, but if it works yay.

[Sailor Steve]

I try not to think about how many dozens of times I've reinstalled SH3 over the past eight-and-a-half years. :dead:

Ok reinstallation fixed the problem :smug:

Pleased your sorted :sunny:
