Hi guys,
I played Silent Hunter 5 over the weekend. After reinstalling the game, installing the patch and installed certain mods the game has not crashed at all which means that I have fixed my crashing and save game load problems. When i installed the mods using the generic mod enabler I made sure that NO MODS gave the conflicted message although I had to give in and let TheDarkWraiths UI mod to overwrite its files but these came with the mod so I was sure they were tested. Had a great time with Silent Hunter 5 and with the mods I have installed, it far exceeds silent hunter 3. The AI mod I have installed is superb. Plus I was having a go at manual targeting, researching how to do it etc thanks to this forum. Hope this helps people who are still having issues with the game crashing.
I will post the mods and their order tommorow for people that are interested.
