Log Seems to Work
 

35 days out on the Pike, 56 messages in the log and it still pops right up. Keeping my fingers crossed.

First of all, with FSAA it looks beautiful!

I have been checking out the tutorials. I get decent FPS on the bridge outside. For some reason the attack center slows down really bad but know what? Who cares! :D

The only issue I have is a major one. I started a test career at Pearl 1941. I start in port just to push the game to its limit and see how my system performs with a lot of traffic around.

Boom.
CTD

Okaaaaaaaaaaaay. Maybe its a fluke?

same parameters this time set OUTSIDE Pearl.

Loads to the inside con. I choose to go to external view.

Boom.
CTD.

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Let's try setting the graphics down a tad. I have environmental effects off already seeing how my system would melt otherwise.

I set it for Pearl IN the harbor. Loads me to the con. I cross my fingers and humbly request an external view. IT WORKS! VERY NICE! Wow!

FPS is about 15. I plot a course to head out of Pearl. As I'm moving at 7 knots I take the camera and check out the graphics. VERY NICE!

I am wondering if I can increase FPS slightly so I go into options and turn off 3D wakes and detailed wakes....

Boom.

CTD.

Oh Boy. Seems like a lot more testing to do but I'm not definitely not stable. I don't just want to play single missions, career is why I play SH.

I'm taking a break and having some dinner. I'll try again later.

Any suggestions?

Something that severe, the CTD, seems to be specific to your current setup (Driver, hardware, corrupt file).

It's hard to nail down your problem from the other side of my monitor, but it just sounds like it's not the game or patch. I think you're the first and only one so far with this issue.

Lots of things to try... Different driver version, a clean re-install, etc. It's possible a mod had altered a grahics file, and now there's a conflict with the 1.2 patch. Did you ever install a mod without using the JGME?

I have an ATI card. Had to go to the Catylst control panel in the systray and activate FSAA. Also needed to choose a level (2x, 4x, 6x, 8x). Worked great once I returned to game; did not need to re-launch.

Hey Mon.

I did not try Career mode before without the 1.2 patch.

Is the 1.2 patch cummulative? Maybe its because I need to install 1.1 first? I'll check my graphics drivers to make sure they are up to date. I have no other mods this is with a clean install.

Mine too FS. It will take me a while (days) in real time to be on a patrol that long. I use TC some but spend a lot of time at 1X. I just got command of the Pickerel. Right on time for the 1.2 patch :up:. In base after the patch I noticed upgrades offered that weren't there before. Twin 20's and a 4" 50 cal deck gun in fore or aft mountings.

Sorry to hear of the CTD troubles

Best bet is to save your MODS folder, MyDocs/SH4 and any other /cfg etc files to a backup. Or HD permitting move entire folder to another as hunt/peck Backup.

Do a full uninstall and delete the sh4 folder

Install the latest drivers for your gpu and directX
reboot pc.

Reinstall 1.0 and run the School #3 torp attack

Install Patch 1.1 run torp attack again

Install Patch 1.2 run torp again
(Now you're vanilla)

Now change all the settings the way you want ( some in graphics require closing and rerunning sh4)

Common DUDE! Stop being a fan boy and listen. I got the digitsal version so its legal. Stop focusing on one issue with circling toprs and other bad torps and read the rest of the post. This was nothing more than a patch to fix what was patched with 1.1. OOOHhh!! I dont have jaggies now. COOL! YEAH! We all waited two weeks for that! YIPPEEEE.

The fact is this patch besides the FSAA was nothing more than a repir of what should have been fixed in 1.1. Once you got off your knees infront of UBI GOD you'll see that there are still many many things broken with this game that should be fixed for playability not jsut for screen shots. We have a start but its still a long way to go. The radar still not working when going south? Common we noted that day 1 and a mod was created. how hard was it to add that to the patch. Geez! The modders are doing a great job of saving this game jsut like they did with SH3. So in closing if your not accusing me or stealing a copy then why did you even bring it up?
:down:

Another fan boy missing the point...:88)

My 1.2 patch appeared to be all inclusive of the 1.1 as well.

It will bring a clean install to 1.2, or you can also install it over a 1.1 version game. Either way is fine.

It was already mentioned here, very annoying. When travelling between 90 and 270 degrees, the ship-radar does not work at all!!! :down:

Also: my air-radar never reports any contact at all, even though I'm attacked by lots of aircrafts

This resolution is not supported. So the bitmaps aren't big enough and the sim no longer streches the images. Bring it down a few notches and that will go away.

My bitmaps are 'too small' like the screenshot above as well, at 1280x1024 :hmm: curious.

Chronometer still doesn't record ship speed? Awwww.

Oh well, hopefully in 1.3 - I'll wait till then.

Again about the line, can't quite see when the image is compressed to jpg so here is a closeup

very annoying, it just keeps drawing attention and I can't stand it. Goes down the entire left of the screen and across the top.

AW LAME.

Just turned the resolution down to 1024x768 and not only did that solve this problem http://img239.imageshack.us/my.php?i...8658296rb3.jpg but it also fixed my green line issue.

I am NOT going to play this game at 1024x768 on my 21" widescreen
