yes, besides corrupted game files in yours and Mike's installations, and/or excessive pc resource request by some campaigns, I can't think of any other reasonable explaination for your issues: unsolved mod conflicts that had been overlooked in the past. Why overlooked? I have my personal theory:
for a start, the past generation cared much lesser than they do now about other's mod. SH5 modding was still at a pioneering stage, and given the tension and the competition prevailing among them (it was inherited by SHII and IV's modding community) the were reluctant to make their mods compatiblle with each other. Result? a myriad of mods, designed over stock files, and small or no information on which settings they affected. Many of these mods have disappeared now, but some "must have" mods of the present day are still based on them.
On the other hand, the continuous modding effort, has prevented players and testers from making much progress in campaign. There is still much talk on hydrophones (which are available from the beginning), but almost no one know anything about later radars and RWR's, someone has tested TDW's telescopic snorkel (which with a feew tweaks can be made available anytime in campaign), but the more historically correct hinged snorkel added to the game by TheBeast is hardly documented on the forum, because sober's "available by date" patch (no blame to him, indeed) delayed its issue in campaign. A direct consequence of this state is that many mod soup-related bugs which don't show up early in campaign, are still scarcely known.

If you prefer, you can fill your data in the following on-line document:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...0E&usp=sharing
I have added all the OH's campaigns with their dates.
Color code:
blue: VIIa issue
green: VIIb issue
orange: VIIc issue
raed: VIIc41 issue
below each campaign there several rows of empty cells (one row for each tester), for recording the results of your tests

ops... I didn't add cells for your RSD test versions in my document, Vecko. But luckily anyone can update it with new data and new rows, if required

I agree. Letting JSGME to resolve mod conflicts is not the right way to do it, in many cases

have you tried reproducing exactly plj's or Mike's mod lists on your computer, Vecko? Honestly I didn't look at the mods they have enabled one by one, but at first glance they look as good as yours, as they all are based on sobers mega mod, I think. I wouldn't be surprised if their mod lists run smoothlessy on your computer. I am not a computer expert, but I think that there is a number of small mistakes that SH5 can still handle. Exceed that number (which may vary from pc to pc depednding on a number of factors) and the game will crash. I hope I am not saying an heresy though.

Yes, those mod lists are more correct than others, an they can still be used as refrence, but imho this doesn't imply that they are absolutely error-free or that they are not further perfectible. See my relevant considerations above.
