Sorry for two things:

One for the double post.

Two for the Nitpicking.. there is some weird action going on on my horizon.. it looks almost like I am close to land.. it goes like Water, then odd darker coloured Sky, and then regular Sky.. what is this :hmmm:

Nice with an update but this one is worse again when it comes to CTD. It crashes as soon as i get close to the english coast. I used SV's climatezone with ENV 3.1 and it didn't crash half as much as it does now.

Frantic8882 08-17-10 01:13 PM

It didn´t crash at all with SV fix and 3.1 so far. Now I´m worried.I´m getting black flickering though after entering my game. It stops after a short while but it always comes on after loading my file (usually when looking at scenes very different in their lighting effects). I get ctd after being in port and loading to get on a new cruise sometimes / and very seldom in action situations trying to reload after a fail attempt to attack a vessel. Sorry for maybe off-topic, I am just not sure where these instabilities come from. Theres no game w/o env.mod though!:yeah:

Will post system if needed

Installed 3.2 froze one hour out of lorient on 1tc reloaded tried again same thing. removed 3.2 I'm running going on 3hours now some things up with this mod .hope there is someway to fix it . I miss it when it's not there.

any fix to CTD - it`s unplayable in current state...

ChainReaction 08-19-10 01:42 PM

First off, great mod, it makes the game look so much better ;)

Second, I'm experiencing a lot of CTD after I installed the mod, although I did just install the fix, but I haven't tried it yet. I'll let you know if it fixed it.

Also, is there is a way to make the nights less dark, because it's very beautiful at night, and it adds atmophere, but it's really too dark to see anything (I can barely make out my own sub). I can crank up the gamma in my settings, but that just makes everything brighter (including the menus etc)

Greetings

EDIT: The fix isn't working (I think I installed the one for version 3.1 ^^)

I need to know what geographical location you are experiencing the CTDs in. I have been compiling a list of areas which need more work to stop the CTDs.

I've only been around Britland :D, so (based on the .jpg from the mod) envcolors tempera?

I sometimes see ice on the boats though, is that normal (cool touch by the way ;D).
Crashes seem to occur when I'm exiting TC, (like when I'm going at 2k compression, and then I close the map) it might crash.
Another time it might crash (rather call it a freeze) is when I try to load a game, then I have to ctrl+alt+del and close the game.
Sometimes I just randomly crashes.

I hope some of this is helpful to you, because the mod is gorgeous, and I'd hate to have to remove it. Is there maybe a previous, stable version I could use?

Greetings

Sadly, no there is not a stable version to be had. Your information sinks up with other bits and pieces I have gotten before that the coast of Britain is a problem area. I am thinking of taking out the coastal change zones entirely which should eliminate the last of the CTDs people are getting.

Schultzy 08-20-10 07:20 AM

Just to add that I have just had a crash too. I was about 1 day (of game time) out of Bremen in the Happy Times campaign. I disengaged TC (backspace) and the 'Silent Hunter has stopped working' box appeared. Don't know if that is of any diagnostic help, but thought I'd mention it.

Oh and this is the first time I've used 3.2 as I was finishing up a previous patrol on 3.1 before upgrading in port.

Same here.....:down:

Anyone got a copy of 3.1 they can upload?
In the meantime, I may have to try that Sh5EnvModGold I keep seeing Sober raving on about.

@w_clear,

one question,can you live with this ctd's or use you the game only for screenshots?
dont get me wrong,youre mod is great but unplayable.

you release updates with the same error in the ClimateZones.tga since 2 month.

The problem is that me and W_clear are unable to get CTDs with this mod. We cannot reproduce the problem on our computers. That is why I always ask people where they are getting them, because I cannot find out myself. Most folks say it is related to TC while using this mod, but I routinely run at 2056TC and I don't get them.

Maybe it is a graficcard problem, im using a ati 5770 and i have crashes.

Here you go Viking.
I was already in port when I changed from 3.1 to 3.2, I rarely TC above 512, and always leave port @ 1 with me at the helm.
Since 3.2, I dont seem to be able to get any further than the area circled on map, at any TC(tried upto 2048), manually or
by waypoints, going between the mainland and the island or going around the island to the south, using all my mods or just yours.
Since my post #752, I removed 3.2, and have made it all the way to Londonderry and dropped off my spy, now heading out to mid Atlantic for a patrol.

Dont think its gfx card related. I had a gtx285 with crashes. Now i've upgraded to gtx480 and it still crashes. It happens when leaving docks (clicking start mission), when using compression over 1024, interacting with crewmembers. Note that it's all random and not always happening.
If i remove the mod and keep the others i use there's no crashes.

ChainReaction 08-20-10 12:04 PM

I haven't had any crashes yet during a brief game (round an hour of play time) after I installed This.
First you enable the environmental mod in JGSME, and after you enable ClimateZone 2.0.

Maybe it's a different version than the one you're using? Anyways, it fixed the problem for me (atleast I think it did, don't have any time to test it anymore today)

By the way, the icy weather around the UK was because it's january :)

Greetings (and I hope this fixes the problem!)

Kromus 08-20-10 03:41 PM

I also think that it`s not GC related because when I`m using Ails climatezone.tga I didn`t have single crash.
Of course I lose some of those climate zones but at least I don`t crash at least expected time/moment...

Frantic8882 08-25-10 12:26 PM

I got CTD´s ingame which stopped for several hours now after deleting my last mod called DBSM Speech 1.04..... That really should not be, as these files just don´t touch the env. mod files. So I guess it might just be as simple as saying: the more mods you have, the more likely you´ll get CTD´s. No matter what combination of mods you´re using...:06::hmmm: (Wclear posted a similar statement a while back)

Has anyone tried to run the env. mod alone, w/o any other mods activated? Did it crash?
