Random constant CTDs ONLY when trying to continue a campagin?
 

For some odd reason i keep getting CTDs only when trying to continue my campaign. While playing the game i have no issue, it's just when trying to load a saved / continue a campaign. I created three crash logs and a mod profile so that maybe someone with more knowledge than me can help guide me in the right direction. Any and all help is more than appreciated - i just safely made it in to sacpa flow!

It seems to me with SH5 once the game gets to a certain size it doesn't matter if you have 2 , 8 , 16 , 1000 gigs of ram . The game ctds . That's why I took out non core files like the interior files from my mod list . This is just speculation . Maybe someone who knows about computers and memory has some explanation . Maybe it has nothing to do with it . Your computer system is a thousand X better than my one . I have entered Scapa many times with no ctds .
Take these 4 out and load your last save game .

Thanks for the thoughts sober. For clarification purposes I can enter scape without issue - I exited the game and them went back in after some time and tried to continue the game with "continue campaign" and then with "load game" when "continue campaign" gave me a CTD.

I've got 16 GB of ram...it seems insane that the game would use more than 4-8 (unless there is a memory leak).

I see the last few lines of the log show some sort of uplay activity. I was playing in offline mode but it also occured online. I do use a VPN but I can't imagine that's the issue.

Yep, Sober :yep: you are absolutely right here :up:
I also realized this a few months ago.. we can't use all mods what we want.. we just forgot one important thing.. this application (sh5.exe) is a 32-bit application, and it can't use more than 4 GB of memory.. so, when the game or rather all installed mods require more than 4 GB of memory then the game crashes.. and we can do nothing with it.. I think no one will make this application 64-bit based.. it's too complicated and time-consuming for one person..

My SH5 data folder is 6.74 gigs with my mega mod list if that means anything . Stock without any mods is the same size . That's why I have a lot of file reducing mods in my list .

I think it doesn't matter how big is game's data folder.. mods contain many scripts and other files which require to use more RAM.. e.g. NewUIs, you know what I mean - how long game loads when only this one mod is installed compare to stock loading process..

Do the file size reducing mods hurt visual fidelity?

You mean does it look like crap . I don't think so .
I hope you can fix it and give some patrol reports .

I don't see how file size would correlate. Remember, its ONLY loading saved games that i get a CTD - i was able to run the game fine for about 2 - 3 hours earlier today. Besides, it doesn't seem to be exceeding 1.6 gb or so per task manager. Every time i get this CTD it ALWAYS has the same last lines about some uplay token crap....could that be causing the issue?

Quick Edit: I am able to load back into my last bunker save...NOT saves on patrol. Makes zero sense.

Question: Do you use the Continue Campaign button at the top of the main menu? This in of itself might be causing the CTD (Speculation) with some MODs install (can you confirm this Sober?). I always always always load my Campaign via the save/load game menu. I also delete saved games and it seems to speed up the loading time immediately.

I only use continue campaign . No ctds at all .

I was doing both (continue campaign and using load game). Issue seems to have resolved...maybe have been a corrupt save?

Ha..nice. Scratch that comment then! Good to know.

yeah sorry about that.... something that was stuck in my mind from a couple of years ago that I thought was causing crashes.
