Any Ideas??? - CTD (FIXED: Mod related)

Nunya · 09-02-08, 02:10 PM

I had just finished sinking a couple of ships and was continuing to patrol my PZ. At exactly 1700 (in-game time), the program decided to CTD. Luckily I had saved after sinking the ships, so I reloaded and.....1700....CTD. I reloaded again, deleted my waypoints and....1700....CTD.

I'm running TMO w/RSRD and a couple of minor mods. Haven't installed any new mods for quite awhile. I normally listen to the boat's radio of gramaphone, but didn't on the reloads.

The error message says the file having the problem is sounds.act.

I started a new career (wanted to anyway), and I had the same CTD...didn't notice the in-game time, though.

Does anybody have any ideas? If not, then I think I will re-install the game and the mods.

Maybe the sounds.act file is corrupt. You could try overwriting it with a freshly downloaded one, or maybe you still have a rar/zip containing it somewhere. Maybe you will need to roll back and reapply the mods.:hmm:

In fact, just give rolling back and reapllying a go first. Who knows?

Sound like a sound error involving a missing event in the radio.

Try running this program then relaunching the game as it will verify all events listed in the radio.ini are actually there..

Orion's right. Even if you're not listening to the radio, a bad entry in the events.ini file for a radio station will kill the game at the time that event is supposed to play.

Whenever you have a CTD on the same date and at the same time repeatedly and you have radio mods installed, that's the first thing you should look at.

Who do you think I learned that from?? .:Looks Up:.

Thanks guys. I do have radio station mods installed. I will uninstall them and see how it works.

I wish this post was started earlier,i had the same problem and ended up deleting the savefile,in which i sunk 2 carriers......before i found out it had something to do with the radio mod.

So i deleted it,then removed the mods,loaded them back up again and it works,but i lost my precious 120.000 tons savefile......darnit

Time to start a new carreer,i'm in my 15th mission now,and i've been ordered to patrol the Barentz sea again...and again.....and again.....they are nice hunting grounds but maybe a little too busy as i sometimes get caught between a task force and a convoy,as soon as i attack either group i get ALL destroyers om my tail,from both convoy and task force...which is pretty exciting but timeconsuming..

Exactly why I never tried a second radio mod after I unstalled the first.

Did any ever come out that didn't cause ctds?
