That patch cant come fast enough

simsurfer · 04-16-07, 12:57 AM

Just crashed again, right in the middle of a patrol, I know dumb me I didnt save it, just used to the stableness of SH3.

I've found SHIV very stable, rarely crashing. SHIII on the other hand gave me tons of CDT till it got the 2nd patch iirc.

I do have quite a few problems but CTDs are none of them. In fact, I haven't had a single crash since I installed the game, in over 30 patrols so far. And no, I never used the "a" key...

Ive never had a ctd either...I don't use the A key and I've never had a problem with the stadimeter.

I've never had a ctd either, but I haven't played the game in a while due to some of the other problems. I can't wait for the patch, I hope it fixes some of the issues bothering me. I want to play again~!

The same here.

I've never had a single crash either, closest I came was one time that damn message log filled up and was taking forever to open. One day after 3 minutes wait I lost patience and hit the reset button and just quit using the log until I found a couple "workarounds" for it.

Another time I got "stuck" staring at that "monolith", the fps were so low that I'd turn periscope to look away and after 30 seconds it would move a degree, 30 seconds then another degree and so on

Would have taken all night to move the scope far enough to get good fps back, I must have been close to it! Ended up hitting "reset" to fix that also. Turned off Environmental Effects after that.

But not one CTD. Other than the above 2 probs, it's been rock-solid.

Does anyone know when the patch is due out?

Thank goodness a patch is almost here... as much as I like this game, it's really trying my patience.
Yesterday was a day I was able to spend all day playing and it was pushing me to my outer limits.

I have this game save, right as I'm in position to attack a convoy. I just want to finish, but keep getting a random crash.
I'm starting to believe the game is playing me instead.
It was toying with me, letting me play until I've got two or three hours invested, then bam... ctd. Argh!!!

All day, an exercise in frustration.

I'm determined to finish or lose my mind

DirtyHarry3033 · 04-16-07, 07:45 PM

Actually, I'm kind of dreading the patch tomorrow. Got a pretty good patrol underway, ordered to patrol East China Sea, completed that, then ordered to engage merchant shipping, competed that, then I was ordered to photo-recon Hiroshima harbor. Did that one, then while at Hiroshima decided to take out the Shokaku and the Fubuki that I photoed, did that plus took down a tanker on the way out from Hiroshima.

Now I've been ordered to patrol off Honshu (still haven't refitted or docked yet) and finally the IJN is doing something and it's getting exciting! Ran across a fast moving convoy, 3 DD's escorting a troopship 120 miles due south of Shizouka. These DD's, unlike the others I've encountered are actually doing something, 2 of them broke off from the convoy and have been hounding me for 5 hours. I'm well below test depth at 370 feet and doing everything I can think of but I can't shake 'em! Lucky for me their aim with the DC's ain't too good

Finally, some adrenaline is pumping!!!!

Guess it's gonna be a while before I can install 1.2, I gotta finish this patrol
