Wierd CTD's

[Reece]

Hi, everything running ok for weeks then I updated my Harbour Traffic to 1.45, deleted all profiles, started a new campaign, 1940, St Nazaire, left and headed for the channel, saved, quit, and later reloaded, when the screen Initialized, CTD! :cry:
Put back the old version of Harbour Traffic (1.43) repeated the steps above and still CTD, frustrating, yes! :yep:
I continued taking stuff out (use Mod Enabler) then after removal of about 5 items, all worked again, so I started to put them back one at a time, testing (boy does it take forever to load and test), the annoying thing is that I have it all back to Harbour Traffic 1.43 and still ok! :88) At this point I'm too scared to update Harbour Traffic to 1.45!!! :dead:

have you put the the 1.44 files for harbour traffic ?

1.45 is only an update of the 1.44 if i remember right.

Perhaps only that "little" step is missing ;)


hope it helps

I had previously downloaded 1.44 but 1.45 came out before I had a chance to install 1..44, anyway I noticed the file size, checked the readme, then installed both.
One thing I noticed though is that if you delete a frofile it doesn't, the only way is to delete it externally! :-?
I think a serious look into sorting out mods that work with each other is a must, I currently have 42 mods installed & if something goes wrong, well perish the thought. :88)
One thing to note is that JScones Mod Enabler is a must mainly because if you update SH3 you have to get SH3 back to a basic install for the update to work, and also if you want to uninstall, it has to be put back as well, I know because I tried it, the darn thing kept insisting I repair it, but it couldn't, had to manually remove register entries before SH3 would allow a new install!! :stare:

Do you have Float_Planes_Mod???? I had a CTDs yesterday and after much work I figured that this mod was making problems and now I can use Harbour Traffic 1.45.

[Reece]

No, never even knew that mod existed! :-?
Just funny how removing things then putting them back seems to have fixed it, I rekon that if I had to re-install the game & patches then loaded these mods it probably wouldn't work, but then again it might work better!! :88)
It needs someone to test all mods for 1.4 compatability & sort out ones that clash with another, but what a daunting job! :dead:
