"Engine missing" problem

K-61 · 12-22-19, 04:03 PM

This is a strange one, something I've never heard of before. I've got LSH2015 installed, seemed to go well. Successfully passed the first three exams in the naval academy.

On the fourth exam, torpedoes, the loading screen progresses quite well, then hangs for a very long time about 10% or so left to go, then crashes to desktop. I get a white backgrounded text box pop up with the title "Engine Missing" and this text in the box:

No CSubtorpedo.Ctrl*.cmihalache

Anyone have any ideas? This occurs whether I use the starter icon in the LSH2015 folder or directly via the SH3 desktop shortcut.

After a Google search I found this old Ubi post from 2010:

There is a hint of the problem but the original poster did not leave enough detail as to how he fixed the problem. Hmm.

I have decided to do a fresh installation of SH3 and LSH-2015. If the problem occurs again, I will know there is a problem somewhere within the mod.

How about trying the tutorial without the mods enabled and see if you get the same response.
The tutorial is stock SH3
This tutorial I would think is setup for Auto TDC if you are setup for manual targeting in LSH3 I do not know if this would make a difference.

Search on the subsim website. Anvart explained what the problem with the file NSS-Uboat * * * sim.

Hi Peter,

I completely uninstalled everything, then reinstalled SH3 and LSH2015. I went into the h.site app and enabled only those settings that have LSH beside them. I was able to do all academy exams. I had only the main mod and widescreen GUI enabled via JSGME.

Next step is to enable more mod options and add some more h.sie options, such as realistic repair times. I'll report on how it goes.

The other thing I did was disable my antivirus and unplug my network cable so that I am not connected to the internet while my AV is down. I also had to tell my AV program not to flag various SH files as threats.

I'll do more experimenting and get back with reports.

Hi Randy
Some anti-virus programs like AVG treat all executives as threats including the SH5 TWoS mega mod and try to block them.
Changing the firewall to make an exception was the way round this.
I now use Bullguard Premium and it automatically takes care of everything for me.
