Keep crashing

Gunnarr · 05-09-15, 02:52 AM

A convoy is given on radio, one of those "circle" ones. I get closer, but the game crashes. I assume the crash occurs when I am close enough that it must simulate it more accurately.

I tried using less time compression, such as just 64, to see if that helped, but it still crashed. I never had this problem before. (Ive had some random crashes, but this one happens without fail, I tried three times now)

Is there anything I can do? Will I just have to not touch this convoy? Is there some log or files somewhere which states why it crashed?

I am using latest patch and grey wolf mod, latest edition

IIRC a convoy marked with a circle has an enemy submarine traveling surfaced in it. If it is about the submarine you won't meet them anywhere else AFAIK. You'll probably avoid the CTD by avoiding the convoy.

thing is though, i played the game yesterday and saw a convoy of the same type, (circle). And I was able to attack it just fine!

I am reluctant to give up and leave, it might be a long time to find another convoy... I am not good at finding ships

I loaded a save from a minute earlier, and approached from the different direction.

It froze a litlte, but then continued. Instead of it being a circle convoy, it was now a square convoy, but an IXB submarine was also written via radio as heading south along with it. Maybe that submarine was causing problems, since it seems the submarine is no longer "part" of the convoy (but I also read circle convoys can mean submarines are going to attack it or something)

Ok now I ham having a different crash problem. Every time I load a save, it crashes after going "not so long ago"

Is there any way to save those save files?

AFAIK no, that save game is doomed.
You should re-load a previous one, losing that doomed save.
But before you do that just wait for other answers...

Could you report roughly where you were(Kriegsmarine Grid) when you received that Radio Contact Report? IIRC I read there is an usolvable bug in the game that happens when two task force/convoys span simultaneously near your location and which make every save game you do form that moment on a currupt one.
Maybe it's what happening here...
