SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - Game crashes on career or single mission load

I've been having many 'crashes' at various game loads, and have put it down to DirectX/OpenGL compilation crashes (never mind about the details).
At most I restart the game 3x and all is well.

It might be about graphics memory overrun or ..you know.. any excuse but my code:03:

Is there the ability to create a debug log to investigate crashes?

edit: I think I can just copy / paste the info that I need from one game version to the other. 'Light' modding so to speak. :)

edit: Got it to work. The Russian version is now fully English a few added modded. Got it running on a 27" monitor at 1920 x 1080. Torpedo los! Das klingelt mir gut! hehe .....

May you please point it out how exactly you done it ? what files i have to replace ?
Thank you friend

Had the same problem, almost always crashed when entering an exterior view. I now have it working thanks to masterskop's post.

I used WinMerge to see which files were different between the English and Russian versions, and then started copying the Russian ones over one at a time. Then I got bored and copied a few over, and now it works. The copies files are:

GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Env\EnvColors_Atl.dat
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Library\Cameras.dat
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Objects\Turm7c_2_hd.dat
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Objects\Turm7c_3_hd.dat
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Objects\Turm7c_4_hd.dat
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Objects\Turm9c_2_hd.dat
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Objects\Turm9c_3_hd.dat
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Sea\Rickmers\Rickmers.cfg
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat2A
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat2D
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7b
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7c
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7c41
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat9b
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat9c
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat9d2
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\Submarine\EnglishNames.cfg
GWX Onealex Edition 1.53\SH3\data\scene.dat

Probably all of them don't need to be copied. My suspicion is scene.dat or the files under "submarine" fixed it.

The issue I have now is that it is extremely dark at night, but it looks like that might be fixable with a mod.

Regarding the one Alex mod crashing problem which some players are experiencing particularly during career and single missions start , the game would load normally then crash in mid career loading screen. And no matter what you do, install, reinstall, patch, modify it won't start.
Luckily 'I HAVE A SOLUTION NOW'.
It took me several months to test again and again in Vain and i wasted so much time while the solution could be rediculously easy and stupid and doesn't need so much effort at all.
To run Silent Hunter 3 Onealex Mod you should Follow the following instructions:
1- Download Silent Hunter 3 Onealex Mod English Version : https://drive.google.com/file/d/18Fi...DmQDVAE1Y/view
2- Download Silent Hunter 3 Onealex Mod Russian Version
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ct8...usp=drive_link
3- Now delete any SH3 folders you have in your Documents file
4- Open your GWX Onealex Edition 1.5.3 ( the English version) and open
SH3/data and copy the Menu folder you will find there
5-Open GWX Onealex Edition 1.5.3R ( the Russian version)
In your SH3/data foder create a new folder and name it 'Backup' or whatever you want.
6-move the menu folder inside the data there and paste it inside the Backup folder you just create ( just in case you will face problem which i highly doubt ) .
Now copy the menu folder from the one alex mod English version to the the data folder inside the onealex mod Russian version.
7-Congratulations now you have a fully operational English menu
8- run the SH3.exe from the onealex edition Russian version only and follow the instructions included in this discord channel as normal and it will work like a charm, i tested it it's fully operational in all dates , career , single missions etc. No problems at all.
######## very important ###
At the beginning it could require very long time to load!!!! Don't do anything just wait let it load and be patient.

I had the same problem and this solution fixed the Onealex mod for me. Running smothly. I can say that is a valid one!

The unique issue I perceived until now is that ship names and radio messages will be in Russian language and alphabet, but this can be easily solved replacing the following files (adapt the folder address to your reality):

C:\GWX Onealex Edition 1.53R\SH3\data\Campaigns\Campaign\messages_en.txt

C:\GWX Onealex Edition 1.53R\SH3\data\Sea\EnglishNames.cfg

C:\GWX Onealex Edition 1.53R\SH3\data\Land\EnglishNames.cfg

By the Onealex original English language files. Just copy and paste those files (make a safety copy of the Russian files just in case) and this issue will be fixed.

No doubt it's a great mod and a nice work done by Onealex. Had a fun time readapting my brain and mind to the different placement of icons, switches, etc.

I'd like to express gratitude for Kaleun Plissken_04 for the amability to host the mod files in his ... weird, psychedelic, retro-innovative website! :yeah:

Also my thanks for this amazing community!

Kind regards from Brazil!
