Silent Hunter 3 GWX KC - Random CTD Issues (No Error Message)

hasenpfote · 05-24-25, 05:45 AM

Hi everyone,

I’ve been experiencing random crashes to desktop (CTD) while playing Silent Hunter 3 GWX (KC). The game closes abruptly without any error message or obvious reason. Here are my system specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X

GPU: AMD RX 7900 XTX

RAM: 64GB

OS: Windows 11 Pro

Monitor: UWQHD (ultrawide) – Could this be related?

I checked the installation guide and confirmed I’m not using the in-game crew management feature (which is a known issue).

Things I’ve tried/noticed:

Running compatibility modes Win 7 and Win 8

Questions:

Could it come from the Graphics Card because i did not install the Nvidia fix?

Any GWX-specific fixes or mod conflicts?

Has anyone encountered this with a similar setup? I’d love to finally play without crashes! Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
