TDW GenericPatcher

During building this modlist i was checking if game works on a mission with 4 ships called SM20 from this forum.

Till I have activated TDW 7.5.0 and checking options in FileOptionViever and checking SOAN everything was just fine. Then i was adding other mods and in the end i have activated Generic Patcher according to:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=205620

I have enabled allmost everything beside:

real navigation
independent engine controls
"advanced users options"

After it all when im loading the mission and suddenly it crashes, i tryed with "TDW Torp Tutorial mission" and it works...

TDW 7.5.0 after being activated "lost" all this changed options. I was doing everything according to this link but after enabling it, it lost all options including SOAN... :(

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=202346

I spent hours on fixing it but im out of ideas... I would be glad to see some answers from You

Im very sorry for my english, cheers!

You need to set the options first, and then install the mod. From your post it looks like you did it in reverse order .. that would explain it not holding on to the settings you choose.

Did you check for compatability of DBSM with the rest of the list ?

Cant see any other obvious starting points but my knowledge is limited ;)

I did it according to the link. First i put folder of TDW 7.5.0 to MODS, then i have opened FileOptionViever and checked option including SOAN and then i have enabled it by JSGME, that's why i dont understand why all this options are "lost".

I dont know if DBSM is matches, its on Fifi's mod list so i guess its ok :)

If it's on fifi's list it should be ok. You did save the optionfile with the same name right ?

Yes, but i think TDW isnt the biggest problem cause even without this option it should work but it crashes after loading a mission so it must be some other problem more

you can go to the basics of troubleshooting:

remove all the mods and add them one by one, loading the game and checking, making sure that they work correctly.

Is SM20 a stock mission?

Sounds like you have problems centering around NewUIs TDC_7_5_0 ByTheDarkWraith.
Are you sure the mod folder structure for this mod and every other mod is:

SH5 game\MODS\NewUIs TDC_7_5_0 ByTheDarkWraith\data
and NOT
SH5 game\MODS\NewUIs TDC_7_5_0 ByTheDarkWraith\foldername\data?

How much GPU RAM do you have? I use a similar list and often hit 2GB. My cards (SLI) have 4GB each so its OK but many dont have that much

I respectfully disagree with everybody claiming that a 2010 game could be able to put that much strain on a videocard. I have a 512mb card .. it runs fine. CTD's are *NOT* related to graphics .. the game stutters because it's crashing, not because your card isnt able to keep up.

A more logical bottleneck would be diskspeed, given the amount of textfiles that get parsed.

Try it 100% same! It should work :up:
If not, it's a problem on your side i'm afraid.

Its not a matter that has any uncertainty. As I said with my mod list which has some similarities (and differences) to this one, I routinely see 2 GB of GPU RAM utilisation. There is a few usual suspects involved in it, being the Harbour Additions, Steel Vikings Interior Mods, Silent Michaels interior mods etcetc. Its not an issue of when the game was released its the combined texture load of graphics intensive mods added to it. This is a directx 9 app and it will in fact crash when the render breaks down from bad memory allocations of textures that over the size of the GPU. Theres no doubt the telemetry data is clear.

...please explain why I dont CTD on a regular basis on this proposed issue then with my ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series with 512 mb and this list:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...7&postcount=24

:hmmm:

This makes me to think that we should reverse the usage of HD/low res textures in Dynamic Environment: low resolution as standard textures of the main mod and high redolution ones as optional. As to now, no one uses the low resolution patch I have introduced with v 2.9. :hmm2:

Thank You all for an answers :)

The mission called SM20 is this mission from link:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1608

I think RAM isnt a problem, neither graphic card - my specifications:

Win7
8GB RAM
GeForece GTX670
Intel I5 2500k CPU 3.30gGHz

I think i would just try to make TDW 7.5.0 ok and then ill try with every single mod if game runs, just to see where is exactly the problem if You dont see any mistake in my mod list.
