Is it doing it near Midway or everywhere? Midway and Pearl Harbor are noted for stuttering even on some of the better computers. Terrible on slower computers, almost unplayable.

What other MODs do you have installed?

well in stock i ran into some "huge" task forces around tokyo so maybe it was something like that overwhelmed your system.


can you give more details? how can we reproduce or test the same situation?

is it only in campaign mode or single missions too?

is it doing it anytime all the time or when something happens?

does it work ok in normal time before the ctd?

have you checked your computer for overheating, fan failures or anything like that?



as for asking peabody to just do the mod for you:

i know its easier to ask others to do it for you but how then will you ever learn that way?

im sure he wouldnt mind helping you but if peabody "shows" you where something is messed up instead of just fixing it for you, then you will learn and understand why it wasnt working and the next combo mod you have trouble with will be easier to fix it yourself without needing any help.

I think some of Websters ideas are very good. I also ran a mission, completed the Patrol, engaged a convoy, destoyed the convoy, fired all torpedos, used the deckgun to engage the remaining merchants. Returned to Midway, no problems encountered. (on easy, autotargeting, just to test)

I had stuttering leaving Midway (my graphics card is "bordeline") Had some hesitation when encountering traffic near Japan.

If you are getting a CTD near Japan it is probably not your MOD. It could be overheating as Webster stated, or maybe your machine just isn't up to the task.

Try leaving Midway and go North or East away from traffic to see if you have any problems.

Turn down your graphics to see if you have problems.

Keep notes: Date, mission (be specific, not "near Japan". Exactly what the mission was Partol area, photo Tokyo harboe etc.) Tell us where you have the TC problems. There are a lot of ships between Midway and Tokyo both US and JP. Every time you meet a ship it will drop your TC and you have to boost it up again. Also the stock game give a lot of messages, they will drop you to x1 TC also. If you give specific details it may be one of the missions is the problem (although I don't think so). Tell us what specifically is going on when you CTD. When your TC drops zoom in to see if you just encounterd a large convoy or Task Force and then CTD. Or are you in the middle of nowhere when you CTD.

I don't see any problems with the Campaign as written.

your specs look fine, you should have no issues with that setup


were you using a stock cameras.dat file before?

in my mods i have it set faster than stock so maybe thats what you noticed, what mods are you using if any?


also i assume you know you have 2 speeds slow and run, to run you hold down the shift key then use the arrows
