Harzfeld, you have described exactly what I have experienced. Only once have I ever got so far in a career as to be transferred from Wilhelmshaven to L'Orient and to have sailed out of that French base twice on successful missions.

I have re-installed so many times and always, of course, to the book, that I am sure I could do it in my sleep now; nevertheless, when everything at last seems to be in order there is always a crash and then graphics mayhem. My last crash was yesterday after 4 days out of Wilhelmshaven and hunting with great success around the Orkneys: now the game always starts back at base, although my log says Sept. 4 1939. Furthermore, OLC's fine manual targetting mod is now malfunctioning: no Roman numerals on torpedo tube selector.

The thing that baffles me is that all my other games work fine, including MOH Airborne - and I have only DX 1.9c. I've experimented with all sorts of driver permutations and combinations and all my other games, including stock SHIII, continue to function normally. So the problem can't lie with my PC software nor with the hardware: it must be somewhere in GWX 2.0 or one of the mods. I should prefer to think it is the latter supposition, so I'm now painstakingly testing my favourite mods one by one. However, the only mods that I have been using of late are: OLC's targetting, wave texture and environment (8kms.) ones, officers' faces by THORN, Carotio's sea bed, Schleuse Holtenau Mod 1.0, and a couple of GWX mods. I also use many of my own ogg. files that have German light opera and popular music of the 1930s and '40s.
