CTD from time to time

Paco · 07-31-12, 04:28 AM

Hi all,

during a patrol I get 1 - 3 CTDs. But I cannot determine why. Memory isn't a problem. The game runs quiet well on my Win7 with about 2.2 Gig allocated RAM.

Perhaps my MOD-Soup is a little bit large.

Send TDW the dbgview . I know what it is . I bet you can still play from the last save on restarting .

Sartoris · 07-31-12, 05:15 AM

Seems to me like CTDs are often caused by loading up too many conflicting mods and/or trying to reload a saved game after you've added a new mod to the list. Don't know if this is the case here.

to avoid this error, I have had reinstalled the game, deleted all saves and had begun a new Campaign with the following configuration:

After playing the tutorial, I added only mods when I have been in harbour.

Do You have a link for creating a dbgview, please. I don't know how to build one. Thanks.

When you have TDWs UI, goto -
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Applications
and run Dbgview.exe

Then load your game and save game.
When CTD happens - look at the Dbgview prog and save file, then upload the file to a fileshare and give link.

Or copy and pasted the screen into message or post

In my experience, this was the case with SH4. But with SH5 I have gotten random CTDs all the time, with different mod setups, and different new installs of the game...

Thanks Trevally

But this game, I wonder, I have played about 4 hours without a CTD.

It seems, that the sh5.exe knows if Big Brother is watching her ....

Wow, lots of goodies in that folder, hadn't noticed that one yet!

Medzell · 08-01-12, 03:19 AM

I have a very similar problem. A complete fresh install (actually about 10 of those over the last few days) and following Sober's mod list/order to the letter. I delete the save games folder as a matter of course, run the game and the saved games are actually THERE if you look under "Load Game". I still get the saved games synching with server notice even when I am NOT online. I've tried starting a new career (exiting from the tutorial, modifying the completed tutorial to true, etc) and when I try to go back into the bunker to pick up where I left off it CTDs just as the bunker screen is opening. Driving me nuts! If I run a saved game (remember I already DELETED the save folder but they appear from somewhere) it'll run the saved game to the same point every time and CTD. I've tried activating mods a few at a time and it seems OK till I put TDW UI 7 in. Next trial is to leave out OH, have TDW UI in and see what happens. If that doesn't work I'll try reversing the order of TDW UI and OH. At the moment (after DAYS at this) I'm am totally baffled

Have you turned the sync saved games off via the launcher \ settings ?
Install the mods
Start the tutorial
When the first ingame animation stops exit the game
Change tutorial to true
Start a new career
Enter the bunker
Exit the bunker and go to load game screen
Load the new save (newest save) that was just created
When in the bunker exit and go to game options\difficulty settings
Go back to the bunker
Click on the technical officer and make sure you can choose torpedo loadout etc
Click on the flottilla comander and once in the mission briefing press skip and click on the baltic mission (click square)
Make sure you get a patrol area appear on the map
Exit the mission briefing
Click on the flottilla commander again and accept the mission
You must get a loading screen before you are placed on the sub
Click on the automation button to the right and click on the real navigation automation
Click on automation button and choose harbor pilot if you want a pilot to take you out of the harbor
Click on the red aquare in the middle of the heading bar to bring up the compass and drag the compass into a good position
You can click the 1XTC when messages appear off or on , it is to the right of the clock
Check my signiature on the bottom of this page .

Absolutely! That's what's blowing my brain, Sober. I've had the same thing (wait for this one) with the PC PHYSICALLY disconnected from the Net. There HAS to be a hidden away save file somewhere. I just checked the save folder again and.....................there they are..................four saved folders.........I'm going off my trolley here!

Do I HAVE to put OH 1.9 after TDW UI 7.1?

We will work it out . Ther are hidden save files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames
Dont worry about them , when it says syncing it is syncing with the ubisoft game launcher .

The mods have to be in exactly the order i have on my mega mod list .
Do you use the MEP file so that the mod enabler auto loads the mods in the correct order ?

Medzell · 08-01-12, 03:45 AM

I'm gonna Reinstall for he 12th time, put in your mod list in order then follow your last post. I'll let you know what happens......................if you hear screams, you know the score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been running for weeks perfectly. I decided a few days back to update to UI 7.1 (from 6.9) and use your (excellent) mod list with a whole fresh set-up. That's when all Hell broke loose!

Unenable the mods then reinstall the game\patch to 1.2\reenable the mods .
