Game crashes regularly, I need your help
 

Hello people.
I thought this would be easy, but aparently it is not.
Some of you may have read my trouble with Living Silent Hunter, about the game crashing as I try to load the missions, or as I try to play a fresh mission without a savegame. It kept crashing.

I downloaded GWX gold now and the same crap is happening.
At first it worked fine, no problem. Then literally overnight the game started to act up.
First, I tried to change my flotilla and start from a new base and the game crashed int he loading screen.
Restarted the PC and the game, started from Kiel, crashed again.
Time to disable some mods.
It worked! And as I was marching home, the game crashed without warning. What the hell is wrong and how can I fix this?

And the mod list: http://up.picr.de/28601276pj.jpg

Anybody who got an idea?

I have a question.
I could play the game without disk from the beginning, so can I skip that step?
And I cannot use the patch, it says I got an "unknown version can cannot update"

To your first question: You have a version without starforce and can skip this step.

Second: see http://www.lsh3.com/dl/v15/LSH3-EDIT...LLATION_DE.pdf page 12.

I've followed the guide step by step, the game still crashes. Normal missions seem to work but the campaign is not. everytime I try to go on a patrol, it crashes to the dekstop.

Hi cookiemonste
you probe play just with merged campaign no other mod

I did some more tinkering, it seems to work for now.

It definately works now, thanks for the help folks now I can sink some ships in peace. :Kaleun_Cheers:

What "tinkering" did you do because I have the same problem under Win 7. Can't get even stat the academy missions.

Steam Conversion SH3 Installation Instructions By BL!ITZKR!EG

The game crashing to the desktop before loading to the command room is usually a Windows compatibility problem.
First, make sure all your applications SH3.exe > JSGME > SH3Commander > GWX are set to run in Administrator mode.
If the game continues to ctd change Windows 7 to compatibility mode XP.
SH3 generally does not have a problem with Windows 7 where as Windows 10 has to be run in Windows 7 compatibility mode.

Ibe found GWX3 to be probably the most stable of supermods. But i also had some CTDs specially when loading saved games, when i had the merged campaign part enabled (plus game took a lot longer to load).

once i disabled merged campaign CTDs dissapeared almost completely.

AFAIK merged campaign is only needed if youre gonna do inter-ocean missions, so maybe it would be a good idea to disable it?

I installed Living Silent Hunter because this has all the patches and disabled and enabled mods it came with. The game would crash if I loaded the older campaign from my old Living Silent Hunter save. I created a new one and it works like a charm now. And I enabled the compability mode.

I got 2 more questions:
Is there a way to improve the loading time in Living Silent Hunter?
It takes 3-5 minutes to load one mission in the career.

Some while ago I read about a mod that changes the models/meshes of the boats, can't find it again. So my question is, what mod is that and could you give me the link?

Hi cm
I have an SSD and takes over 4 minutes to load a game save.
LSH3-2015 is a big mega mod and the time taken will be dependent on your systems specs.

Does having more ram help decreasing loading times?

Remove Waterstream+Exhaust combi. It always crash in my PC - let me know if that works
