Possible GW Problem or What ????

cdrsubron7 · 08-05-06, 09:02 PM

I've been sailing in a Type IXc submarine out of Lorient in one of the careers that I'm currently playing in and am having some difficulties when trying to reach Grid ED in the Caribbean. Every time I get close to Grid ED or actually enter the grid SH3 crashes back to my desktop. Anyone know whats going on here. Is the timeframe wrong or waht? The timeframe by the way is early 1942.

Are you using any other mods?

bigboywooly · 08-06-06, 12:23 AM

Well I just created a test career in a IXC April 1942 from Lorient and sailed to ED grid to try it out
Had to stop for fuel as I forgot was on limited and I was travelling ahead flank

Well anyway I made the grid no problem and patrolled most of it
Even took time out to raid Port of Spain in ED98 with no problems
Managed to sink 10 tankers and get 98k so that was a bonus
Am using GW1.1 and started career thru SH3Commander so if it is a GW problem I didnt manage to recreate it

Thanks for answering back, guys. I am using GW 1.1a and the latest version of the SH3 Commander. Have been loading the game thru SH3 Commander also. At this moment I have no other mods installed in the game. I will try again and report back later.

Ok thanks
Will run another patrol that way myself when have a min
I know you said no other mods does that include any new ships\subs ?

bigboywooly · 08-06-06, 01:00 PM

Well ran another patrol to ED grid again with no problems
Other than the weather was foul and got rammed by a destroyer
:rotfl: serves me right for rushing about - good job it was only a test career

Well.

i raised this topic because i have a similar problem. a CTD reloading a savegame in the caribbean, near of port of spain.
i can reload in the atlantic, but not in the caribbean

i tried reload from my home port , but with the same results.

my patrol grid is ED-59 in a IX-C from lorient.
sh commander 2.7.0 130 and GWX 1.03 with other mods

I have same problem CTD in that grid. I don't think it has to do with saving within 100km of ports because I last saved in middle of Atlantic before heading to that place like 8 times. I think it relate to lone or convoy spawning, perhaps planes too because I too noticed CTD happen at certain times every time. Also perhaps CTD is relating to shallow water which usually create ghost ships. I don't know. But I tell ya, your not the only one. It happened to me in 2.0GWX SH3 CMDR 2.7. I just installed GWX 2.1 and CMDR 3.0, I am still in first patrol, so have to wait until I gets to 1942 to find out if that woe is still unchanged. It could be fixed, but with UBIsoft being pretty good at restricting our gaming and modding experiences by not releasing SDK, then we probably would be stuck with it forever.

Anyone else miss this.

Time for an upgrade, don't you think cdrsubron7.

EDIT - GODDAMMIT!!!!!

THIS THREAD IS NEARLY 2 YEARS OLD.

:rotfl

an's losing his mojo!

It probably would be easier to Update to GWX2.1.

Hartmann · 04-18-08, 08:00 PM

Yes , i raised the topic because is the same problem and is better than open a new thread.

If it appears in the last GWX versions it could mean that is a harcoded bug in the game or an effect of the bermuda triangle.

It´s a game killer because it´s a very interesting grid for hunting and you have to be aware of not save in this place.

i want to test now if is related with the assigned grid or with saves in the area.:hmm:
