USS Gar Patrol Ending
Ahoy Captains!
The date/time is July 25, 1943, 17:00 hrs, Long 141 57' E. Lat 37 51' N. I send a status report earlier to HQ. Receive message to RTB or patrol another area. I have one Mark 14 torpedo in forward tubes and one in the aft tubes. I decide to return to my base at Midway, since I' m low on ordnance and enough fuel to get back to back to base. It's been a great patrol with six cargo and one tanker sunk. When I get to the date/ time above, the game stops. The first time I was at 512 time compression when it crashed. Reloaded last save and when I got to the date and time again, the game crashed. I was at normal time compression, on the surface with no air or surface contacts. I reloaded again, and I was at a depth of 250 feet with the same results. Each time I was in the control room with the clock showing. The fan blades would stop and the second hand on the clock would be at 17:00 hrs. I know it can't be the Bermuda Triangle because I was on the other side of the world. lol When I save a game, I always go to the control room (F2), stop the engines, pause the game before saving. I have had less problems when I save the game like this. And I don't keep more than three saves. The only way I could save my career, was go to an earlier save and reload. I got back to base before the date and was offered a new submarine, a Balo class. Don't have any ideas to what happen. Any suggestions to was caused the CTD are welcome. And thanks in advance for your help. My mod soup is: Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157 [C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\MODS] 1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5 1.5_Optical Targeting Correction 031312 for TMO 2.5 1.5_OTC for 5 to 4 Aspect Ratio_TMO 1.5_OTC_Realistic Scopes for 5 to 4_TMO 1.5_OTC_US Radar from Start for TMO 3000 Yard Bearing Tool (1280x) Nav Map Make-Over v. 2.0 NMMO Airbase Add-on Office Images Hiryu Mission Test Captain Midnights CBS NEWS Sound Mod Bigger Better Protractors TMO_Alternate_JS_Radar_Performance TMO Smoke Mod |

Hi~ the CTD and other save-game issues seem to be very common for this game, sorry i' have not met your problem yet but i encountered others, and we share the similar mod soup.
BTW, the "navigation map make over" mod is updated to 2.1 and there is also a 2.1 patch for that, maybe that would change something. |

Thanks Flaminus for your quick reply!
I have downloaded both of the 'Navigation Map Make-over v.2.1' and patch mods and put them in my 'Mod" folder. When I return to my base, I will make the changes. |

Large Address Aware
I strongly recommend you run this program. I have not had a single game crash over several years since adding SH4 to the program.

Thanks jldjs & Torpedobait for your reply's,
My rig is a Intel 2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33 GHz with 2.0 GB of RAM. Also my video card is Geforce 8400GS with DirectX 11.0. (I loaded the DirectX 9 from the SH4, Gold Edition CD first). The OS is Window Home Premium 32-bit. When I installed the SH4, I had to get the video card in order just to start the game. I know just enough about computers not to make changes without asking a lot of questions. If I added the 'Large Address Aware' would it help me from having game crashes? I normally don't have that many, but once a year. Thanks for suggestions Captains. I will look at the website that you sent in your post, jldjs. |

Larrywb57, have you applied the Large Address Aware modification? Here is a link an explanation of what it does.
