freezing bug?

[marcel1980]

Today i tried to sink a tanker but everytime i hit with a torpedo or attack it via deck gun, the game freezes {total freeze}. If i dont attack the ship, everything goes well. Anybody else experienced this?

I even reinstalled windows 7 (x64) again ... fresh install, bought a new version of the game (disk this time instead of DL).

Sink a ship .. win a boobie prize. ;(

As of now I've disabled MO and currently playing a stable game with individual mods. I wish I could play MO but sadly it looks as tho I will not be able to.

GOOD NEWS! (kind of) Church SUBSIM & Graf!

I've been able to sink a ship with either (no other mods)
- Magnum Opus+patch2
and/or
- NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith

Like I suspected, since Church said that he had the same problem with only the NewUIs, I figured out that this mod must be the one that was causing us thoses freeze when a torpedoe impact a ship, since the NewUIs are within Magnum Opus too.

So with trials and errors, I've removed some files from the NewUIs mod, one at the time, and finally nailed the one that cause the crash! The file is named "Page captain log.py".

If you want to test this out, to see if my temporary "solution" is not just specific to my computer, follow those instructions :

- Deactivate all mods in JSGME
- From within JSGME, right click on Magnum Opus and/or NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith and delete them
- Unpack a brand new Magnum Opus, patch it to v0.0.2
- Unpack a brand new NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith
- In BOTH of those mods folders (if you plan to install both), find the files "Page captain log.py" that are located in Data/Scripts/Menu and delete them
- Install and activate Magnum Opus. Do the same with NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith
- Start SH5, start a new campaign, skip the tutorial
- When in port, save the game, then quit it.
- Start SH5, load the savegame, select your mission
- Then find a ship and sink it, hopefully without a game freeze!

Now, I know this is a temporary workaround, because "Page captain log.py" must be important and do something.

But at least I've pinned point the potential source of the problem. Then again, this file, or something in our own computer, must interfere with it, and that, is out of my knowledge and I just don't know what to do from here.

Maybe TheDarkWraith have an hypothesis ob this, since he created the mod!

TDW told about enabling the logging, so maybe you can see what went wrong before the lockup. See also the iniys settings in his mod.

After you install first time the game you must to play the tutorial once.... after that each time when you start a new campain you have the posibility to skip the tutorial:

I tried the steps you mentioned, but now i cant even load my old saved games. After i deleted the pilot py files and made all the changes, The game drops after i try to load some savegame. I have activated all the mods as before, but it seems like they re not really actived or i dont know . desperate :/

i think you can not use anymore the old saved games... you need to restart a new mission

Deleting the Page captain log.py file will cause problems guaranteed. I told the person who said this to find the real problem but alas they haven't. I gave them some info to use to figure out what the real problem is and they haven't reported back any findings. I can't try to understand a problem without information/feedback.
