I'd be willing to try it if you need me to. Just let me know.

bigboywooly 12-19-06 06:25 PM

Thanx Chaos but Rose is testing as I type
Thanx for the offer
If all OK will let you know :up:

Rose 12-19-06 06:39 PM

Still having a CTD but it is "different" this time. Check PM. Also, maybe Chaos should test to see if the same thing happens with multiple people. What do you think BBW?

bigboywooly 12-19-06 06:45 PM

Yes Thanx Rose
Have read PM
:damn:

You have PM Chaos

Rose 12-19-06 07:58 PM

How did your test go, Chaos?

Dowly 12-19-06 08:02 PM

Getting CTD too on that mission. Shortly after the shooting begins.

Is it a bug in the mission...? I will try to load mine up, and see if it crashes..

We have (or should I say, BBW has) determined that it is a bug in the SCR layer. The mission was copied directly from the SCR, the only difference being that the player u-boat is right in the middle of the battle. So to fix the bug, there needs to be a fix to the SCR, and not just the specific mission. That sound about right, Wooly?

Webchessie 12-19-06 08:10 PM

After reading this thread, I tried the mission and had the same problem with it crashing out (... Microsoft encounted a problem ...). I plan to reboot and try it again later.

Yes, I knew that the Operation Cerberus was on the campaign and that the mission is made that way. So you are right, the SCR layer needs to be fixed.

Goddie! PS: I also got the same error:

Rose 12-19-06 08:19 PM

I also got a CTD on another GWX-added single mission entitled Operation Tungsten I think it was. However, this time the CTD occured when loading for the mission had almost completed, and not while the mission was in progress. I also played Narvik, a STOCK single mission, and finished until the end without a CTD.

From what I can see so far, the stock single missions are fine, while the GWX-added ones are having a little trouble :cry: . I need to play a few more to completely validate that statement though.

Edit: I played Bismarck, which I think is a GWX-added single mission. It played perfectly, so I revise my statement above: the only two missions with problems I have encountered are the Cerberus one and the Tungst one.

Chaos81 12-20-06 03:09 AM

Well, just tested with and without the fix. Both times I get the same error as Seth and Webchessie. It happens about 15-20 seconds after the shooting starts. Game freezes, then crashes, and the error pops up.

Sorry I didn't get this done earlier, I had to run into work.

Its a character limit on the names for missions in SH3 isnt it? the 'us' is 'Cerberus' is missing :(

Well that's embarassing :oops:. I need to brush up on the technicalities. What ship was it that had the 16"-ers? Didn't the Bismarck have 'em? Also, I knew Cerber didn't sound right! I wasn't sure though.

No german ship ever mounted 16'' guns, altough the planned H-project battleships were supposed to mount 16'', and up... (last plan was for a 140,000 ton ship, twice the size of any battleship built before, with 8 x 20'' guns...)

Bismarck used the very good Krupps 14,96'' - or 38 cm. :D

That's the same message I got before I installed the fix. With the fix, it just CTD-ed right away, no message. I disabled the unsuccessful fix and there is no message anymore, just a simple CTD.

@Deamyont: 140,000 tons?! Holy $%#!

fredbass 12-20-06 09:41 AM

Just a reminder:

If you remove or add mods and fixes, you must be in port or you will get a CTD sometimes. If you have SH3 Commander, you always need to do a rollback first as well as being in port.

I know this thread is about the single mission, but just wanted to tell ya, just in case. :know: :up:

bigboywooly 12-20-06 12:29 PM

Damn
Mine CTD as well
Was watching the action
2 DD sunk
The aircraft had just got shot down then booted back to desktop
:hmm: I have an idea

danlisa 12-20-06 12:32 PM

Help me out BBW, is this the mission where you can watch the LRG in action? I think in the english channel.

If it is, what's been changed as it worked fine in the Beta.

Yes thats the mission
Well I can find nothing on the campaign layers
Have asked Ref to look at the error message as he knows a thing or two that man

I must admit I am stumped on this one

danlisa 12-20-06 12:42 PM

Is the CTD always after the aircraft is shot down? What aircraft? Possible zon error????

I ask because we had CTD's way back when a zon file was nerf'd on a merchant. (not in GW or GWX);)
