GAAAAH this is really frustrating - CTD again!

I've got the "high end" version which I'm reasonably sure I was using before without any trouble in previous careers that went well past the current "trouble spot" both in time and space. But I've downloaded the other version to try so I can see if that makes a difference.

The crash happens in this location:

That's with the grey/brown map enabled, which reverses the color indication for water depth - darker is more shallow, lighter is deeper. Either way it's in an intermediate spot between the deeper water around the coast of Norway and the shallower water of most of the rest of the Nordsee. There are only four depth gradients represented on this map -- ~0-50m, ~50-100m, ~100-150m, and ~>150m -- so it should be one of the middle two, i.e. ~50-150m deep in that location. And I've got to be spending quite a bit of time in shallower water just getting to that spot, so... I dunno.

I poked around on-line for info about this particular error and the first recommendation seems to be to reboot your computer and see if the error repeats, then check hardware drivers, but which ones wasn't clear, lol.

Anyway rebooting is easy enough - can see if the error indeed repeats with current set-up, then try disabling the last mod, then try using the "lighter" version, then try not using either and adding a different mod instead to see what happens then. Now that I've finally gotten through the looooooong process of recreating the error at all, I also want to see if I can recreate it in other locations on the map, related to that shipping group or not. I could also try going close enough to land to make the mod kick in for those terrain files and see what happens there. Hours and hours of fun!

But I'm sure you know the drill.
