[QUOTE=plj;2122433]As you can see, all went fine, till impact. I guess the explosion was a little too big or something. On a more serious note .. what could be causing this ?

You have seen all my mods I have listed in another thread. I used to get the hesitation or a game CTD with a torpedo explosion a lot. Like voloday61 said in some other thread, debug view does not really tell you where the failure is coming from.

Antilag.cfg helps. I limit my FPS to 30 as author suggests.

CTDs dramatically dropped with newer graphics card. Always happened with convoys of 10 or more ships. Less CTDs now since I am using an ATI 7870, upgraded from 4670 with 1024 MB or two ATI 4670s crossfired with 512 MB graphics memory. Debug report talked about registry entry too long, Main video set -64 bit. I tried searches to manipulate ATI registry data and nothing worked. Had random problems more so in SH5 for 9 months or longer, than compared to SH3 or SH4. I talk about in Multiple UIs for TDC thread.

Overclocking my CPU first time ever helps, too. I have heard other subsimmers talk about it. Increased frequency by 10%. Original CPU setting AMD AM2, quad core 2.6 Ghz. Still very stable now. Not going to touch it anymore.
I am going through Gibraltar strait at 512 max with a convoy of 20-30 ships submerged, Mare Nostrum. Largest convoy I have ever seen in any of the SH3-5 series I have encountered. Smooth!
