Need help guys.

Running MO with a few mods installed above with JSGME. Pretty much running the same mods stoianm is running but to a lesser degree.

While on patrol I keep getting a "ERROR REPLACING CONTACTS" in my logbook. Problem is not long after receiving this message I CTD no matter what I'm doing.

Anyone else experience this?

Need to know exactly what you're seeing in the messagebox. I don't have a message that says what you're saying above. A look at your ship's journal with these entries would be very helpful. You can send it to me via PM.

Hi TDW,

I think this may be what Graf is talking about:

I noticed it for the first time tonight but no CTD for me. The error occurred at the same time that I received a radio message.

Hi everyone!

I'm hoping someone can help me to solve my problem. When I'm hitting a ship with a torpedoe, my game seems to freeze just before or right when a fireball appears. I have to Alt-Tab and force-quit the game.

This doesnt happen in the stock game, only when I have MO installed (I just have that mod enabled). I've looked in this thread, it's pretty long and I've seen that Akula4745, post #730, seem to had the same problem a while back. Can anyone pinpoint me to a solution?

Here's what I've done so far :

- Installed and patched SH5 to v1.2
- Started the game, made the tutorial
- Played a bit the game, didn't even sunk one ship
- Decided I wanted some mods
- Installed some mods with JSGME, reloaded a save game that I made in port before accepting the first mission, after the tutorial.
- Save the game, quit and reloaded.
- Played a bit but not much (can't remember if I sunk ships)
- Decided to give MO a try
- Uninstalled and deleted mods
- Followed and installed the same mods from Stoianm's MO tutorial
- Installed 3 or 4 others mods, not big ones but one was Old style explosions.
- Reloaded my special savegame in port (the one after the tutorial and before accepting the first mission)
- Saved, quit and reloaded the game and accepted the mission.

Ok, still with me? So I wanted to see how those old style explosion looked like, I was impatient, and I made an act of treason (yeah I'm really bad I know). I decided to sunk a german ship in the port! And well, the game punished me by freezing. Ok, I desserved it I guess!

Figured out that the Old style Explosion mods might be my problem, I uninstalled it, reloaded my special save game, and after been in the mission did the same thing again.... with the same result.

I've then decided to remove all the mods excepted MO. Reloaded my special savegame, started the mission, fired a torpedoe a the same german ship and again, the game freezed on me.

So I'm a bit lost. I've tried to look for a solution in this thread, but like I said it's pretty long and I havent found anything.

Anyone experienced this and have a solution?

Well, I've tried something more radical this time.

- I've uninstalled SH5, deleted the game folder and all entries in the registery.
- Updated Win7 to the latest (SP1)
- Uninstalled ATI display drivers, deleted ATI's folder, rebooted, dowloaded and reintalled latest drivers (with stock settings).
- Reinstalled SH5, patched it
- Played SH5 Tutorial, saved a game in port. Took a mission.
- Tried and succeeded to torpedoe a ship in the harbourg.
- Quit the game. Merged Magnum Opus patch 2 with first v0_0_1 and enabled it in JSGME (only mod installed, nothing else)
- Tried a New Campaign, skipped tutorial. Saved the game.
- Quit the game, then load the game. I took the mission.
- Tried and succeeded to torpedoe a ship in the harbourg but the game frooze again.

I was hoping that a completed game reinstallation would do the trick, but it wasn't the case. There's definitively something within the Magnum Opus mod that is conflicting with something else in my system.

I'm giving up for now. It's late enough and I'll admit that I'm starting to loose patience. For me and for the moment, the game's name is more like Silent Hunter 5 : battle to make it work right! :yep:

Wow - that is the exact same issue I have with MO or the NewUI's, but I can't tell why. I have been able to run both mods without issues since TDW released 6.3.7 and then one day ... lockup when I sink a ship.

I even reinstalled windows 7 (x64) again ... fresh install, bought a new version of the game (disk this time instead of DL).

Sink a ship .. win a boobie prize. ;(
