GWX 2.0 crashes

[Swat]

Kindly asking for help.I tried it for maybe 5 or 6 times....Always when I want to slip between Shetlandes and Orkneys the game crashes on the same place with the typical Windows message.I've noticed that there's a note reporting to SH3 kernell.dll file....It's quite boring.Any ideas,P L E A S E ! ! ! ? ? ?I've reinstalled the game twice and it's still the same...

I have had three crashes that frustrated me. I don't know if this will work for you but here goes.

Start GWX and go to the academy and start torpedo training. Instead of sinking ships go to sea and see if it still crashes. If it does not go to your My documents and delet the SHIII file containg your career. Start a new career and see what happens.

So I tried that and it's still the same. F..K!!!Don't know what to do with it.It was working just fine and now this...

[irish1958]

Bummer
Deactivate all your mods and see if the problem persists.

[Swat]

That was one of the first things I've tried....still crashes in AN26...I tried to use lower time compression,go around etc.After few miles it crash in the approximate angle from AN26...

[irish1958]

Still working on it.

Crashes can happen for a who;e host of reasons. if your confident you've added nothing mid patrol, perform a 'rollback' (if your using SH3 Commander) and load the previous save.
If that doesn't fix it, it's honestly not worth wasting time and effort on.

Start a new career and try to re-enact the same parameters

[Swat]

Ok,guys!!!I reinstalled the system,clear installation of XP SP2,latest drivers,installation of SH3 1.4,GWX 2.0,started new career and I did have a crash in AN26.This seems to be a serious problem when it occurs even after new inst.of the system so I'm kindly asking some of the devs for help...I thought reinstall will help,unfortunately not.

Did you delete your "SH3" folder in "My Documents?"

[Swat]

Yes I did,but now it seems I solved it.The faulty one was probably Tankeriv seafloor mod (hires).In one particular spot in AN26 when using TC there's a very minor stutter during which the game crashes.I went through all the mods disabling one by one.After disabling this seafloor mod I slipped through AN26 just like knife through the piece of butter.I don't understand it that much,but my thought:After installation of GWX 2.0 I presume lots of surfaces are retextured by hi-res or somehow enhanced versions so then hires seafloor might be enough for the whole system to get unstable.Even it was on one particular spot it was frustrating for the future gaming.AN26 between Shetlandes and Orkneys is a nice shortcut....

I had 4 or 5 crashes in my 1st dozen gwx2.0 missions and was beginning to wonder myself since i never encountered them before. But i've registered at least 10 missions snce with no problems
