Lost sea walls at Wilemshaven? d3d antilag to blame or OHII?

[Faamecanic]

Hummm...I find it strange though that I have run 4 patrols with OH II v1.2 and TDWs UI mod (6.7.x) and have not had this happen before.

Then I loaded TDWs newst UI 6.8.0 and the anitlag and all of a sudden the port walls have disappeared.

So you think this is a lag of memory (you are correct in that Im running WinXP 32 bit, with 2GB RAM and a 1GB Nvidia GTS 450 card).

Thanks for the suggestions...I will have to try them (but I will miss the added ships and such).

Your mod list is very light (compared to some I have seen) so I think it must be the extras in OHII causing the issue

You could try using one of the addons - new ships v enviro

I'll go the minimalist approach and jsut try the Base (light) OHII and see if that fixes the issue. The OHII full was a bit much for my system anyway. I couldnt get near the Scapa harbor with anything more than 32x TC without my system slowing WAY down. And I was having CTD issues if I approached Wilemshaven in anything more tha 128x TC.

I need to build a new PC..but that is a few months away.

Will let you know results. AND THANKS for your help!

It was about a year ago I started having the same issues as you discribe.
Started with harbour walls, then ctds and finally whiteout screens.
I had vista 32bit and did not want to remove any mods I had.

So I bought a new system, 64bit win7 and a beefy rig.
i have had no problems since.

Ok that helped A LOT. Just loaded the BASE OH II v1.3 and I have my seawalls back

But as I was leaving Wilemshaven, the lighthouse would blink in and out. It would be there if I didnt look directly at it, but would disapper if I did. So I suspect you are correct. It is a memory issue with my machine.

Looks like I will have to wait to enable all your (and fellow contributing modders) goodies until I can upgrade to a 64 bit system and get a few more gigs of RAM.

Meantime I will look into that 3GB switch you were talking about...

thanks again for your help!

even with 3gb switch enabled and no mods at all, this can still happen for 32bit OS users... also depending from what harbor you start.

...there is a simple solution for that problem, simply save the game after you enter your boat first time in the bunker, restart the game and load that saved game.

Ahhh I will have to try that stormfly.... yet more bugs from UBI...sigh.

Oh and when I left port (using the BAse OHII) I had seawalls as stated above (with the David Copperfield disappearing lighthouse)... but after I finished my Patrol... seawalls gone again.

BUt I have a feeling my graphics and memory took a high toll, on this patrol that lasted only 4 days...I encountered a unescorted convoy just off the east coast of england... I went thru them like a hot knife thru butter. All told....12 ships sunk for 115,000 tons ...lol. Kretschmer eat your heart out . It WAS a 15 ship convoy.... 3 were left...

Using OH II full version 1.2 and 1.3 I have found that, if you save your game, exit to main menu and restart immediately after "boarding" your U-Boat in the bunker, the missing harbour walls and buildings return.
