Default CTDs with GWX 2.1 and OLC UbMod 2.4.1

Hi,

I'm running GWX 2.1 plus OLC Ubermod 2.4.1 & LRT 2.02.
I have made a lot of patrols without problems of any sort ...
But today, I have had several ctds when trying to enter into areas AL25 and AL26 during februar 1942.

Can somebody be kind to explain what has happened?

Thanks a lot

Lopo

You shouldn't have any CTDs with either of those mods.
Whilst the combination has not had any controled testing, it is known to work.

Things to do to prevent CTDs:
  • If running windows XP disable those information baloons that pop up in the taskbar. To do this see the bottom of my post.
  • Close down all programs you are not using. EndItAll is a good program to help with this.
  • If you are not playing online, disconnect your PC and turn off any anti-virus or firewalls.
  • Be very careful when doing anything above. If you don't know what you are doing and the effects it will have, then don't do it. Any changes you make are at your own risk.
Disableing pop-up Baloons (XP ONLY).
Pop-up Baloons caused crashes on SH3 for me every time one popped up. To fix this:

Quote:
Copy the following into notepad...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\... ntVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"EnableBalloonTips"=dword:00000000

...and save the file as disableballoons.reg
Double-click on that disableballoons.reg, restart your computer and no more balloons

The above changes fixed all my crashes and SH3 runs very stable for me now.
