Is it really true SH5 crashes more in Campaign then SH3?

Lonny007 · 03-16-16, 11:35 PM

I read awhile back that its very common for SH5 (i am assuming no mods) to crash while playing the campaign compared to SH3 (no mods), in other words is the Stock SH3 campaign more stable then the Stock SH5 campaign? I would like to know if this is really true from people that have played campaigns on both games SH3 and SH5. Thanks for any info!

I've encountered no CTDs since installing TWoS.

I don't recall ever having any CTDs in a SH3, 4 or 5 campaign.

That said, most CTDs IMHO are caused by conflicting mods and/or corrupted saves.

It's been so long since I've played SH3 or 5 unmodded, but IIRC SH3 was more stable. Nowadays, playing with both (modded), I'd say SH5 crashes more often, but TWoS is pretty darn stable, especially if you read the tips about maintaining stability.

Thanks for the replys, so it almost sounds if a MOD for SH5 makes the game more stable, interesting, where there any mods that fixed any stability problems with SH3? Thanks Again!

Hi guys
I have been playing The Wolves Of Steel since July 2015.
To date I have counted 124 manual game saves from my log book and never had a ctd.
Go about it the right way and SH5 is very stable.

I still prefer SH3 over SH5 for numerous reasons. Reliability is one of them.
