DD V&W Class
DD V&W Class
PP Troop Transport#13


Is one of these V&W wrong?

Can't say for sure, I'm not on my gaming machine.

Back up the Campaign file somewhere safe then delete one DD V&W Class and save the altered file then run the game under as close to the conditions you can recall.

If your efforts are successful....well done, consider yourself a game modder

Well, I've edited the name of one of these DD but it crashed again.. the next I coud try just to delete one of these dd...
I've a doubt as well... could it be a wreck of ship boat sunk, to cause the crash? The seafloor is quit low, and they remain on it without disappearing.
Anyhow I'll try tomorrow, now it's quite late... Alas the game takes everytime 10 mins to load, quite time consuming..
I hope we'll sort out this dunkirk affaire.

done another test this morning, changin the name of the others DD of the convoys; I also tried to save quite far from the zone.. near ostende and zeebrugge (always at least 50km from them), this time when the game loaded I had like a mine coillision.... water entereing from everywhere and ppl dieing almost instantly. The death screen said it was a collision... Uh I was on surface. Watching with the mission editor the campaign scr I noticed in that zone starts the huge minefield around the eastern coast of uk. Anyhow it's getting annoying.

I've had this happen to me every time I've tried to attack anything around the Dunkirk evacuation,going all the way back to GWX1.03,I gave up in the endI'm sure its to do with the rendering of so many things all at once so close to land Although I did read on here many moons ago that if you go close to the English coast and then come down on a southerly heading to Dunkirk it doesn't happen so frequently,How true that is I don't know,cause like I said I gave up Its to shallow there anyway and crawling with DD's and mines(allied&axis in R/L,don't know if thats modelled in game) Better to go somewhere else

Yeah it's quite crowded in that zone .
And that is not the most suitable area for my IX B, but at least there's the Luftwaffe air support. Although with all that huge traffic it'd be quite funny, even if being spotted could mean to be under depth charges for hours, considering the shallow water around Dunkirk. However... what a pity..
