CTD IM DESPERATE

[Warfox]

Hello everyone:

I have played SH5 with my own modlist (based on sobers one) in November and the game has gone very well. Some CTD time to time but nothing serious

Now in January i have applied some changes sobers has made in my modlist, and now somehow this game crashes every time I try to exit or enter Bremen harbour in a radius of 70 km.

Imagine it, draw a circle of 70 km which center is Bremen harbour, now imagine every time you try to pass that line, no matter if existing or entering port, the game crashes. I've tried with no TC= CRASH, TCx256= CRASH, TCx16= CRASH. Tried to disable sobers waves and more stuff, BUT IT KEEPS ON CRASHING!!

What has changed in my modlist???????

Im quite desperate as you can see, this game modded is the best submarine warfare game, but now he keeps on crashing and crashing every time I try to pass that line.

Seriously, i'm about to leave this game and let the hell burn it if no one's here sees the error, you are my last hope.


My modlist in November, this was good and runned the game pretty well:

Im open to suggestions, as my ideas of whats wrong are already burned.

Greetings, Warfox.

First what are your computer specs ?

Hi sober:

My specs:

Intel Core i7 2600 CPU 3.40 GHZ
8GB RAM
W7 64bit
AMD Radeon HD 6970m 2 GB RAM
31 GB free space left

I dont think my computer specs are a problem since it runs other demanding games very good. (such as Flight Simulator X), but who knows...

Greetings, Warfox.

[TH0R]

I have similar spec to yours, and had the same problem with Kiel, Wilhelmshaven, etc... MY OLD CTD MOD SOUP

My educated guess is that it might had something to do with sea state changing from "calmer, harbor" to "normal, open sea". Like you, I had the crash at the exactly same radius from the port every single time, be that entering or exiting.

Try moving the environment mod at the end of the list, that did the trick for me.

if you made any mod changes then your saved games are now corrupted and wont work or if they do you will get random CTD issues.

[GT182]

What Webster said. I had the ol CTD problem going from Happy Times to Western Approaches. No fix so a new start after reloading mods.

One thing you can do. When you have a fresh install of SH5, make a copy or two of it in the Ubisoft folder. Leave the names Copy SH5 and Copy 2 SH5 as they show. No harm will come to them.... you can even patch them to 1.2 if you want. Then when you need a fresh install you rename one to Silent Hunter 5 and go on from there. Rename the one you just used or uninstall it. Saves time on a new install. Shortcut will also still work....at least mine does.

[THE_MASK]

Playing with sobers mega mod list for over 3 months and over 150 saves on my current campaign . My computer is no where near as good as yours . So load my mod list with the MEP file and if you still get a ctd then it is an installation , start campaign , mod corrupt error .

[GT182]

Sober, do you still recommend using your Campaign Start Instructions if Using OHII? Load OHII as the first mod, start a new campaign and do the tutorial mission. Then load your other mods.

Also, what is the outcome of not using CSP Magui the mod soup? I see Warfox and you don't have it your mod lists. Only asking as I've seen nothing in my SH5 that resembles what Doc Jones describes.

Warfox, it's best to only add mods when in port or before you start a new campaign. Only those mods that the author says are ok to load anytime shouldn't make any difference when loaded. But sometimes that doesn't work too well either. It's possible they could overwrite a mod that can't be loaded anytime and that will cause a CTD. Or SH5 will freeze up on you and you must restart your computer to get out of the sim. I've had that happen a few times. It tells you you really have a mess on your hands.

Going below deck has solved about all my crashes when entering a port, may want to try that route. Personally I think OHII may be a culprit.

But you don't get to see the crash if yer below deck. LOL

Just click on the flashing anchor icon in the upper right corner of yer screen. You won't have to go all the way in to port... and crash.

Remove all mods other than OHII and see if you still get ctd

@ Trevally

I did already and was getting the CTD even before the flashing anchor appears. With my mod list installed I don't get the crash until I enable OHII into the mix. Oddly when below deck I haven't experienced it. I love the mod and will continue using it. Might be a conflict with another mod on my end but I've used sober's list as a guide for my load order.

[GT182]

LiKe Trevally says. Run OHII only. But I think there could be a mod or two that's conflicting due to the order they were installed. Not sure as I know nothing about TWD's Ui mods or some of the others listed that I've not seen before in Sober's list. Just my 2 cents.

[THE_MASK]

The mod list is causing the ctds
