TDW's UI ver 7.2.0 for SH5 Crash problem

We are not, but we cannot make a game bug into a feature... there should be other ways to punish trahitors, other than CTD's. Reward depletion, for example

On a side note, I once thought that this was a stock game bug, but after reading various reports, it seems it could be related with TDW's UI

Hello acecol
I know that this is a bit late in coming but I would keep trying. These problems are usually worked out because of something really simple. If the game was running, and it crashes because of a torpedo hit, then it might not even be related to the UI.
I use the 7.2 UI with no problems (I'm not saying this to frustrate, I'm just pointing out that it does work). Setting this up was another matter. I had to make sure that my patches (TDW's) were the correct version. If you are using the patches (and you should be as one or two of the principal patchs relate specifically to torpedos), which version of the patches are you using?
When working with these, sometimes the main .exe file can get weird (Corrupt). Sometimes a full reinstall will take care of it.
When I have a reoccuring crash difficulty, I will usually reinstall the .exe and manually delete it. This kind of cleaning ussually works.
I wish you good luck on this. Keep trying, the game is worth it!

Have tried with just 7.2.0 installed with relevant patches on clean version of SH5 & nothing works. Soon as a torpedo hits a ship bang we game crash.
If this was happening on 1 computer fair enough, But on 3 computers all with different specs!!!!!!!

Are you still sure that it was a BRITISH ship? Where exactly do you found that British ship?

There was an issue with an old version of TDWs IRAI (caused the ctd in scapa with a torp hit on the BB).
Have you installed an old version of the IRAI mod

Im using version 0.0.39 of this mod which I believe is latest version.
Trevally can you tell me what you think minimum comp specs are for this mod, does it need really high spec comp to run it? Also have you looked at the debug report as on 1st post? If so any thoughts?

Hi

This was starting to get to me, so I decided to see if I could re-create the problem.
so against the order from high command
I was in the career mode, came crossed a German battleship and the result was first torpedoing okay second okay third torpedoing and yes you've guessed it game crash froze

[5160] Entities.cpp (123): succeeded
[5176] PDH: 1 destroyed contacts found. Checking for sunk ships...
[5160] SH_ServerOrbitProtocol.cpp (111): Failed to read packet from client.
[2332] ..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\P4ws\massgate-MAIN\massgate\uplay_pc\2.1\live\shared\libs\servic es\src\services\GameKeeperImpl.cpp(261) : Product id '3' all processes terminated

so in the spirit of things I don't think we should be sinking German ships
well not until the end of the war then they scuttled anyway

Hi Ace.
Couple more questions:

1. Have you tried using no mods?
2. Are you testing with single missions?
3. What version of the TDW's SH5.exe patchesare you using with the UI? (Should be 1.0.74)
4. Did you download a new 7.1 UI? (it's rare but possible)

If your game says that your system has no problems then you should be very close. You get the same crash on three different boxes?! That would make it game related somehow.
Are you using a CD or Downloaded game? (I'm sure you have been asked this but I might have missed it)
There are several different missions with ships to sink, I would use these to test. If you have a CD, I would really do a thorough cleanout. Delete everything, all the SH5 folders. In other words, do a real full re-install.

I'm afraid that after doing an extensive search, the only thing that will cause the game to either freeze or crash during a torpedo explosion is a graphics card that tops out or (yep) hitting a friendly using TDW's UI. It's built in to the mod.
Anyway, I wish you all the luck. If this continues, post all your specs and you mod list as you would set it up.

Let's exclude the well known "friendly ship ctd" once and for all:

what nationality were the ships that caused you problems? Forgive me if you have stated it already, but I couldn't find this information in your last posts

2.Single missions used to test.
3.used 1.0.74 version.
4.The correct version used.
