GWX3 Gold - my first CTD

Paul Riley · 05-23-09, 04:48 AM

About 30mins ago I had my first CTD with GWX3 Gold.In fact this is the first time SH3 has ever CTD on me before.I was just exiting the Kiel harbour when the CTD came,no warning,nothing.
Below is a list of the mods I had enabled-
- 16k Atm.
-Capt.Am.Off.Icons
-Enh.Dam.Effects
-L.Harb.Tr.
-Alt.Load.Scr.
* I also had Hitman's Optics for GWX3 v.1

I disabled Hitman's optics as it doesnt have the GWX signature at the beginning of the mod name (in the JSGME listing),believing this could be the culprit.I am now going to try OLCs optics this time.I know I have been told to be wary of mods that dont exclusively display the GWX approval,but I really do need to get rid of that rim around the scopes,ideally.After that I will be installing absolutely NO mods that dont carry the official GWX approval.

There are no extra running processes in Task Manager,all graphics card and Direct X updates are installed,and the GWX installation was carried out in the correct manner and order,to the letter.

Thanks for any help here

CTD's when near land is common, i think.
Were you using the TC before the CTD?

tomfon,

I had used 64TC for a SHORT period while going through the Kiel harbour,then slowed down to normal TC as a ship was sighted approaching the harbour,an Argentinian merchant I think it was judging by the flag it displayed.Minutes later the crash came.

I feel somewhat relieved that this may be a problem near land,but for the life of me cant imagine why,maybe a memory problem somewhere.

It may simply be a random crash, that can happen in any game engine no matter what, did you try again?

Take it easy, a crash once in a while is annoying yes, but it is not such a big deal as long as it doesn't happen too often.

Yeah. Unfortunately.

What are your pooter specs Paul?

It is possible the proximity of the cargo vessel had a catastrophic event on the fps.......although if that were the case you'd have big trouble when encountering a convoy.

You didn't hit a mine per chance?
