Well im out of ideas now. Ive narrowed it down to sometings wrong with Kiel and lorient.

I went as so far as to remove EVERYTHING from the scripted layer surrounding lorient and trying to start out of lorient and it kept crashing. I have no idea whats wrong now.

Well, there is most definatly something wrong with this mod. It's not me, its not my computer, its not any of my mods.

I totally replaced the LND layer and the SCR layer to eleminate the idea that it was something in those two files causing the crashing.

Still crash's.

I then did a total reinstall of SH3, and installing JUST the UC vanilla making no modifications to it at all.

Still crash's.


The problem seems to be somehow releated to Lorient and Kiel.

I beleive ive tried to start a campaign out of every other base, and it works normally, but for some reason, these two bases, the game crash's just before its about to initialize the world.

I think i solved the problem.


My memory's trashed right now from all the reloading of SH3, but i think ive got it nailed down.


I beleive its the flotilla.cfg file thats causing the problem. (the one in the CFG directory, not the menu directory)

With the flle provided the game crashs in Kiel, Willshemhaven and lorient, and no where else. Which seemed to me it wasnt a resource issue (ie too mcuh resources or missing resources)


This mod i beleive is trying to be too many things at once, attempting to be GW compatible and NYGM_tonnage war compatiable.

Most of UC_vanilla seems to be derived from Harbor traffic combined with NYGM's RND/SCR/LND layers. Ive noticed taht NYGM loads and runs fine. So i took the flotilla.cfg from NYGM and used it over the one provided by UC_vanilla.

Result:

No crashing loading 2ndt flotilla, lorient, 1942.

So try grabbing the flotilla.cfg from NYGM and use it instead and see if that works for you.

Still crashing for me. :-? I am trying to start with the 7th flotilla in 1939.

Anyone still trying to figure out the crashing problems at Wilhelmshaven, lorient and Kiel?


Well I dont think its the LND, SCR or RND. Ive also tried different versions of these and even went as far as removing all the units in those areas.

If its the flotilla.cfg then I have no idea where to start with that.
