Muddy Mod soup
 

As you may have gathered by my recent posts I'm having a wee!!! bit of bother getting SH5 to run without crashing. I've tried using sobers mod list 1500 030913MEP using the latest generic patcher TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_149_0 and the OptionsFileEditorViewer and starting a new mission after enabling the mods.
I got to select a new mission, skip the tutorial and wait for the bunker to appear, except I get a CTD before reaching the bunker stage. After the 3rd CTD without the game fully loading I tried again with the Dbgview.exe running and received the same CTD so I've got a log file. I am also going to run the JSGMEModValidator but I haven't a clue how to interpret these files. I'm determined to get this game running smoothly but would appreciate any help with deciphering the feedback information I have (will have).
Cheers

What patches do you have enabled in TDW_GenericPatcher?

Some Advanced user sections are not advisable to enable.

Enabling can cause ctd's.

Speaking from experience.

I did not enable any advance user patches in the TDW_GenericPatcher after reading what had been said on the various forum threads.

I'm wondering if I have run out of memory. System specs:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.7GHz 64 bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1GB GDDR5
RAM 8GB
HDD Barracuda 7200.12 1TB

Thanks for the reply.

Have you ctd´s in single missions?

Did you start a new campaign? Adding, subtracting or changing mods order, since returning to the bunker, may cause a CTD when using an old save.

See the # in the message box? Two ## will appear when you click on it. Paste the dbgview log between the two ##. Do the same for JSGMEModValidator log.

The OHII v2.2 Sobers Terrain fix is missing. You can find it on open horizon's thread at first post. I know it is not on sober's mod list. I use his list as my main reference source, too.

Yes it was a complete new install of SH5 and a complete new download of the megamod + those not included in that.

There were no alterations to the original renewed installation as I couldn't get to the bunker on start up, it CTD before then.

Mike in a fit of frustration I have deleted everything connected to that download including the game, logs, mods, documents the lot. I'm starting again only enabling one or two mods at a time, playing the game to ensure they work then exiting, adding another couple of mods then starting a new campaign with a new user name. This way I hope I can trace what is causing the CTD. It's slow and frustrating but I'm hopeful.
I take your observation about the OHII v2.2 Sobers Terrain fix and will add that after OPEN HORIZONS II_full v2.2.

Thanks for the support and I'll start taking logs again.

Many many thanks
Ian C

OK, very frustrated of UK here!

Proceeding on from my careful adding of mods then checking for CTD by using a new user name and a new campaign I've got as far as adding from my mod list to NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_RadCapTools_0_2_alpha and then rechecking.
From the point where the screen goes black before entering the bunker to exactly 16 seconds later where having entered the bunker but not having moved from the default Kaleun entry point in the bunker I have had 3 CTD at exactly the same point.

Dbgview log 1:
I hope this helps to untangle whatever is causing the CTD's.

I won't be to get to my computer until Monday night (UK time). Hopefully a weekend's motor racing will calm my frustration.

Thanks
Ian

:hmmm:

Try this mod list:-

MightyFine Crew Mod
Reworked Morale & Abilities
Dynamic Environment
Equipment and Upgrades by TheBeast
IRAI
Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC and Automation
Open Horizons II

:up:

Apart from completely uninstalling SH5 and cleaning the registry has anyone any clues, tips, advice on what could cause a CTD (x4) after 2 mins play.

All the TDW_GenericPatcher options disabled and the OptionsFileEditorViewer set to default, then all the mods disabled using JSGME. Restarting the computer and then believing I was starting SH5 back in its original form it crashes after two minutes.

Trevally thanks for the advice but is it feasible to add mods to a game that won't start in its supposed original format? I'm open to any suggestions (polite ones).

I'm close to forgetting SH5 and going to other sim's. !!!
:wah::wah::wah:

try my mod list with magui interface and take a look if u have CTD's link in my signature

and the .gps file from tdw's generic patcher for magui interface u can finde here
use TDW's genericpatcher to restore snapshoot if u don't know how to restor a snapshoot take a look here

and here is the .gps file when i play with Sober mod list

Hi,

I have virtually downloaded all of Sjizzle's mod list but I cannot for the life of me find "sobers DOF V6 SH5" the link goes to an error message "Invalid file ID" and then redirects to the SH5 download page. I've searched for ages through the various SH5 Mod threads and Google but each time I think I've found something it goes back to the invalid file ID message link.
Sorry to be a pain but I'm determined with my complete lack of computer skills to make SH5 work. :)

good that you took those steps for searching the file download. The next best thing to do would be contacting sober to fix link. I'll PM him.

Just a thought Chigley, but have you looked on your system for the presence of this: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable 9.0.30729.4974. Go to Control Panel/Add remove programs and see if it's there. If it is uninstall it as this is the most common culprit in SH5 loading crashes. As this is happening with your game as stock also, I think this is the cause mate.

Thanks for the tip Adrian, thankfully (I think) that culprit isn't there. I'm plodding through Sjizzle's Mod List and his instructions.
:)
