CTD Help
 

finally i got my new computer built... placed SH5 back on here...downloaded the bonus pack... is there a certain order to place all of these mods on there?

also..the main problem im having is that once i select a dive option of any depth i just always crash to desktop...infuriating as u can imagine...any fix for this? or any idea what may be causing it???

yup...removed a few mods and it still crashes to desktop whenever i select a depth to go to :/ sighhh anyone have any suggestions??

Yes, you do need to have mods in the right order, I would give you my mod list right now, but I am not in a position to do so right now, in about 6/8 hours time, I will be able to.

In the mean time, you could use Fifi's or Sobers mega mod.

thanks man i greatly appreciate the help... i downloaded Philipp_Thomsen/Sober Silent Hunter 5 Mega Mod List , guess im putting them in the wrong order or something so i tried just a handful instead and same result...started a new career and ventured out... the moment i select dive or some random depth... it just kept crashing so im guessing im still getting it wrong... im such a noob at this lol

What are your hardware specs?

This could have an effect on how your game plays.

Is your game patched to the 1.2?

Did you use patch before you installed mods?

just recently built it...

Win 7 64 bit,
32 gigs ram
Nvidea 9800 GT SLI Nvidea 7600
I7 Processor
2TB HD
--------------------------------------------

should be ample to play this thing.... and yeah its updated to 1.2, yeah i patched the game before using the mods... so im at a loss as to what making it crash non stop when i choose to dive....

Did you install your mods before you patched to version 1.2?

You get all kinds of problems if you install your mods before you get your game patched to 1.2.

What are your clock speeds and model of I7?
I have heard that SLI's can interfere with the game, but I cannot confirm this.

I once had your problem, and it was because I installed my mods before I patched, if you do, I'm pretty sure you need to re install, thats what fixed mine, but remember to use the GU.exe before you install the mods.

I have not used sobers mod list, so I will look into what it contains.

thanks man i guess the only think to do is to uninstall and reinstall hopefully that will help guess ill keep ya posted on it...wish me luck...also if u do decide to look into it, would there be any possible way to help me figure out what should be enabled first? cause knowin me im prob doin it wrong.

Run the DbgView app found in my UIs mod's \data\Applications folder before starting the game. When it crashes see what the output of DbgView says.

What does the game say in the upper right corner of the main menu screen (v1.2)?

Hey DW, sorry man i seen this a lil to late, i uninstalled it and just reinstalled it. Cant seem to get it to update to 1.2 atm but guess ill fiddle with it until it decides to stop being contrary and updates lol...

Remember to use the GU.Exe in the Silent Hunter 5 folder, I cannot remember where at this time, it might be in support or applications?

I cannot remember.

But run that before you install mods, and if you backup your mods folder and make a mod profile using JSGME you can load them all back next install.

thanks guys...just got it updated... now to reinstall the mod installer and hope for the best. cross ur fingers guys :)

ok guys :) think that done the trick :) hopefully it stays this way... any word on where i can find the propper order to place all of these mods into as i only enabled a few just to test .?

You could try some of the mod compilations or lists, but other than that, you have to work it out your self, it took me ages to put mine together, because I don't use mega mods.
I have 40 separate mods, you can guess how long it took.
:hmm2:

I would advice you to patch game with TDW Generic Patcher, and then install those very essential mods to start with:
