Venting
 

Just venting. Have rolled up on the same convoy about times now in U-65, my type IXB boat.



Just west of Gibraltar, launched all 4 tubes on 3 different ships (including a oil tanker) and execute a turn to starboard to get the stern tubes off aaaand. my game crashes.



Every. Single. Time.



Jeesh

Mod list ?

Atm just running GWX 3.0 with SH3 Commander. Just getting back into playing the game after a really long hiatus so didn't want to fudge around too much. I'm noticing I get CTDs when I leave port and go to external view (either bridge or f12) and from this example, a convoy. So not sure if the game is just taking a dump when there's a lot of assets in a close area or if there is some other issue.


Edit. Have now sunk the same bloody large freighter about 3 times. Every time I go to external camera to look at my handywork the game CTDs. Thinking that may be the source.

Are you using the 4-GB patch?

-C

I don't know what that is so I'm assuming no. Is it included in the GWX files because if not I am definitely not.

Sounds like maybe a memory issue. What are your system specs ?

The 4-GB Patch allows the game to use more memory and it is part of H.Sie's mod/patch. Alternatively you can download Large Address Aware, a small utility that patches executable files to expand the memory used by the program to 4-GB.

The H.Sie Patch adds a lot of neat features to SH3 but some people find it a trial to install correctly. It's somewhere in the Downloads section.

Large Address Aware can be found at the URL below and is all but necessary to run SH4 with mods:

Good Luck
