Hello,

I just have a few quick questions, and I apologize if they have already been answered elsewhere. I'm just trying to make my SH5 experience the best it can possibly be, but I'm wondering if I'm missing out on some things.

First, I still experience some random crashes to desktop, usually when first starting a new mission. Sometimes I can't even get out of the harbour. I find that saving, exiting, and reloading sometimes helps. Is this just a game bug that we have to put up with and there is nothing we can do to fix? I find that once things get going, I can play for days without a single problme, but once crashes start, they tend to keep going. I also find that it doesn't like time compression over 512. Has anyone experience that?

I also found that during British Coastal Waters mission, the weather barely changed. It was pretty much light to medium fog all the time. Which was nice, because I didn't get attacked by planes that often. Is that just because I am near the british coast and the wonderful UK fog?

I also find that the water and sky look pretty bland and grey. Again, is that because of the region I was in? I've seen screen shots with nice, crisp blue water. Will I ever get to see that?

I have also had ships not too interested in attacking me. I was approaching a harbour and one destroyer stayed perfectly still, while another went in for one run, then stopped altogether. Is that normal? Is it just because it is early in the war?

And finally, if I save the game with a contact near by, when I reload the game, the contact has disappeared and usually the weather has changed. Again, is this just a game bug that can;'t be fixed? I find it very frustrating because I will spend hours just searching, then find something, and I would much rather be able to just save it and return to it, rather than have to spend another three hours stalking and attacking. I'm a busy guy.

I think that's it. I should mention that I have Magnum Opus patch 2 installed, TDW Real Navigation, and Enviro 5.4. Are there any other mods I could add that would add to my experience? Do I need to redownload and reinstall MO to get the new mods TDW has added to it? Would it make a huge difference? Thanks for all your help. Sorry this was so long with so many damn questions, but I'm about to dock in port, and if I have to make any changes, I want to do it while I'm docked and not at sea. Thanks again!
