SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Realism- and gameplay-related hardcode fixes for SH3.EXE

Below messages are copied from another thread which contains the issues I am having. I have nailed down my CTD issue to the Steibler Add On Patch as I was able to successfully start a patrol after December 1940 when I removed the Stiebler Add on. HSIE patch is still active, just the Stiebler add on was disabled.

I can't find anything date specific though in this patch. Can anyone help?

--------------------------------------------------------------

Started a career in fall 1939 and made it to Dec 1940. IMO, have had a very successfuly career so far. Way ahead of all the aces, sank the HMS Rodney, etc. 88% realism. After going through the SH3 Commander options and getting into the game and completing my loadout, I start the patrol and it CTDs late in the loading process. Happened twice in a row. very frustrating.

Before starting this career i had done a complete resintall of the game and all the mods below. Been running this career with no problems at all up until now. I MIGHT have had a CTD when trying to operate near Dunkirk during this career but I can't remember for sure. That might have been a different career. Anyone have any ideas or help?

thanks a bunch

FYI I'm running GWX with sh3 commander.

Other mods include:
Conus widescreen
TDW ship plane fire damage
Randomized searchlights
Lifeboat and debris
Torpedo damage final
DepthChargeShake
MEP environment mod and MEP sensors
Hsie patch
Stiebler patch
4 gig patch as well

System specs:

HP ProBook 4540s
Windows 7 (32-bit operating system)
Intel core I5 @ 2.5 Ghz
4 GB RAM.(it says 2.88 GB usable?)
Intel HD graphics 4000

----------------------------------------------

Tried all of these and nothing seems to work. Previously loaded "in mission" saves work.....at one point i even went back and started the previous patrol from scratch......do the patrol.....then I get back to port and can't start the next patrol and it CTDs again.

On another note I just decided to say "screw it" and start a whole new career at the same date where the other one left off (Dec '40) and THAT crashed in the same manner as well. So now I am really

I then went back and tried to start a new career in Sept '39 and it works......

Is this something to do with the date?
