Weird GWX Bug...is it me or the mod?

TriskettheKid · 01-14-07, 02:35 PM

Alright, so I'm moving on to my 8th patrol. It's May 1940, and I'm stationed with the 2nd Flotilla.

I have been unable to complete my 8th patrol. My first attempt, I attacked shipping in Dunkirk, tallying over 70k in tonnage, only to CTD on my way out of the harbor.

My second attempt saw me CTD after having a torpedo successfully slam into the aft of a Hunt I. The minute the torp hit, CTD. Weird thing is that I had attacked some others like this without incident.

My third attempt was against a taskforce. Hit the Fiji fine, but CTD when I hit a DD.

Fourth, and to date final attempt was against a convoy. Hit two merchants fine, but CTD the minute I hit a DD.

So, my question is, are my CTDs a result of something with the patrol I'm on? Is it a result of me attempting to hit convoys and task forces?

I never experienced something like this with GWX until this patrol.

Do you have the Dec 23rd update installed ?

TriskettheKid · 01-14-07, 02:58 PM

Yeah. It's the only thing I have active in JSGME.

Except a very small mod that adds back the Uboat mark on the water's surface so I don't lose my bearings when trying to take a quick screenshot.

Could I be overwhelmingmy rig to the point of SH3 crashing?

bigboywooly · 01-14-07, 05:18 PM

Hmmm
Could be but if the merchants sank ok then so should the DD
Where the DD all different ?
Also what are your rig specs - just to know

Also wonder whether the Dec 23rd patch is installed ok
The directory should read - C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\MODS\GWX - Dec 23rd Corrections - then a data folder etc

Not - C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\MODS\GWX - Dec 23rd Corrections\GWX - Dec 23rd Corrections

TriskettheKid · 01-14-07, 05:41 PM

Dec 23rd corrections are installed correctly.

The DDs were, for the most part, different, but IIRC, it happened with Black Swan and Hunt I. However, on the previous patrol, I sunk 3 DDs (all Hunt I) and a Fiji with no problem. Those were also in a task force.

What's leaving me baffled is the fact that the crashes are happening now, in similar circumstances to what I've encountered previously.

As for my rig:

410w PSU
2.54 gHz P4
1gig PC800-40 RDRAM
256mb 7800GS OC

Your rig is better than mine lol so that shouldnt be a problem

How do you mean

Sorry about that. What I mean is, I encountered task forces and convoys earlier in this career, without anything like this happening.

I just can't seem to complete my 8th patrol because of these crashes.

TriskettheKid · 01-14-07, 09:46 PM

Alright, I'm gonna try playing again.

I'll try and keep a good tally going of what seems to cause the CTD.

I forgot to mention, though, that I'm having this problem in one of my "fun" careers, where I changed some parameters in order to get the XXI in 1939 (BTW, I don't see what everyone's deal is with the XXI...it's a freaking cow, and I can no longer enter any port that doesn't have some deep water).

But, again, I had no problem using it for the first 7 patrols, so I can't see why it would happen now on the 8th.

TriskettheKid · 01-15-07, 10:44 PM

To add to the confusion, I just completed 3 patrols with 3 new careers. In each patrol I attacked DDs without a crash.

I am stumped.
