This doesn't happen on the stock SH5 with the 1.20 patch. It's a clean install, and even the pc was been formated right now and have all the drivers updated.

Here are my computer specs

Solved by myself. Didn´t used 7zip to extract the files. Installed everything again and now used 7zip no CTD.

Hi vdr

Checked out Step 7.

I am running it as a stand-alone and not within SH5.

We both set the same path for menu.txt

We both set the same data/scripts/menu for TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py

You do it from the inside and I do it from the outside that is the only difference.

So it looks like if your running it inside then you can change it with disabling.

I am presently doing the Total Germany campaign on the Eastern British Coastal Waters mission.

I was given grid AN7932 to patrol for 48 hours with a patrol radius of 80 kilometers.

After getting 2 Merchants in the patrol area and 72 hours later, there has been no reposition order.

I decided to head up to Scapa Flow before the mission end date, got the Capital ships and then headed back to the waters inside the EBCW map line.

I'm just wondering if lapsed time triggers the reposition order or is it the 70k tonnage requirement? (AN7932 is a fair way South of the EBCW red line area of operations)

Also escaping from Scapa Flow, the boat was nearly lost from damage due to an air attack. (the pilots have radar vision if the weather was anything to go by!)

After several days of repairs, the boat is in sort of working order except every single analogue gauge is broken with all the needles pointing to the 12o'clock position.

Does anyone know what system controls all of these gauges and are they repairable without having to return to base?

Your thoughts on these question would be appreciated.......Regards

The first time i've used this megamod i also used winrar and didn't had any problems with it. But now, i've formatted my PC, and only after extract the files with 7Zip i could get the mod to work.

This megamod is fantastic. But i would like to change one option in my game. i would like to have the ship identification button in the officer's bar. ¿is there any way?. I moddified some options with de optionsviewer to configure as i like, but i dont find how to put this buttton operative

Kumando · 03-10-15, 10:20 AM

You can do it by yourself
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=890

Or you can try this mod and get only the page layout.ini that makes the button active again

- Officer Command „Identify Target“ activated (Page layout.ini)

That is a file that i've changed some time ago to get the button active again, but i don't have it with me anymore.

Hello,

I hope somebody can help me.

I bought days ago, the Silent Hunter 5 Gold Edition via Amazon.
After installation, patching, I decided to install the mod and the Dragon Addon.

The mod installation was done correct and succesfuly as I had help from a experienced guy in some other forum.
Also I deactivated autosave automatication and went offline for playing.

Its really a great mod and everything. Even I went on my first mission, starting in Memel.
After driving into Danzig bay, sinking 6 ships at all, I try to drive out to some home port.
I am dived as 2 polish destroyers are in the near and sonar reporting other contacts in big distance.
I have many savegames, so I tried various savegames to avoid the "1-second-going-to-desktop-crash-without-any-message".

But it crashes all the time when I try to escape the bay of Danzig.
I also restarted career, but it was with same results.

What can I do?
Is this known?
Help would be appreciated a lot

Not sure how this ties up, but recently I've had two situations where all save games including autosaves past a particular point were corrupted and just CTD when you try to load them.
The two things that were common before I had problems were.... an air unit that crashed in the vicinity of my Uboat that I did not get credit for,.... and a lot of savegames.

The first time this happened, after many unsuccessful attempts to get a save game that didn't CTD while loading, I did a complete reinstall and went from using my own mod list and installed "The Wolves of Steel" mod.

The second time this occured, I had just escaped out of Scapa Flow and was attacked by two Hurricane fighters that came out of the fog!

While trying to get below decks to crash dive, one of the planes exploded over the top of the boat and crashed. It was floating on the water in a lot of debris minus its wings and still roaring away like it was still airborne.
I thought for a minute that my useless, constantly disappearing flack gunner actually managed to hit something but after a fair while submerged, no credit was given for the aircraft.

At this point I saved the game and went to reload and had an instant CTD. Every time I tried to do a save after the crashed plane, it was corrupted and would instantly CTD. This also included the autosave games.
Once again.....a lot of previous saved games and a crashed, uncredited air unit in the vicinity.

I loaded an earlier saved game prior to the encounter with the aircraft and it worked.
I then deleted most of my save games except for the autosave enter base and a couple prior to the CTD's.
From this point the game is once again stable and all subsequent saves are working.

I'm not sure whether it is a memory issue with too many saved games or the program trying to find its missing plane or a combination of both that causes the save games to become corrupted and continually CTD.

I'm hoping one of the more experienced Subsimmers may be able to spot a bug if there is one... or give us some kind of explanation as to why this happens....

Regards......

Hi guys

These problems can arise when games are saved around destroyed units.

Peter

Toniausmuc · 03-11-15, 05:00 AM

I am right of Hela allready and it seems more, that when I want cross some line from south to north. Destroyed units are 30km about away.
In the port of Danzig, I sunk alone 5 ships - no problems.

I dont know what to do...
Shall I delete some of my savegames?
