In the patch Stiebler & H. Sie's V16C there is a module CAM ship, which many do not pay attention to. Need to change
ClassName=M36B
UnitType=8; 102
in data/Cammpaigns/Campaign_RND.mis and Campaign_SCR.mis files, Otherwise will CTD 100%.

Very common error. But I think he's only running Hsie's patch and the cam ship is only applied with Stiebler's.

I'm curious about the statement "I forgot about the 4gb patch"; does this mean the one with Hsie's patch, some other one, or what.

I was explaining that I was getting a CTD after I installed a small handful of mods,only to realize I forgot about the 4gb patch, allowing the game to use more memory.

After I installed that it fixed my issue, running fine as stated for many missions.


Installed the hsie, patched the sh3.exe, loaded in the extra messages, loaded the wolfpacks and enabled the supplement via jsgme . CTD in heavy ports/lots of loading of stuff.

I deleted the campaign file thinking I messed up the wolfpacks info, no change

There is a 4gb patch that comes with Hsie's too. Ctds as you describe can be caused by memory problems.

- Did you install Hsie's 4gb patch too ? It is applied via default. One would have to uncheck it to not install it.

- Did you do the wolfpack tests mentioned in his patch documentation ?

I just spent twelve game hours stalking an NYGM convoy/playing cat and mouse with a port side escort the entire time.
Fair weather, cloudy, perfect for a night surface attack.

Night comes, pack is assembled. Just as I'm getting into attack position, the weather breaks and the sky clears !
Went from perfect surface attack conditions to bright, clear night with an escort close by !

The pack had struck already (sunk five so far), and I find myself in the midst of ships trying to escape, including a carrier !
But the escort nearest me was drawn off by the pack anyway.

Ships getting hit, escorts engaging the pack, other ships trying to get away and me just trying to not be seen/run over by any of them now, with no chance to fire without a major change of plan which I may not get the chance to do.

You think a ctd is frustrating ! Shadow/report a convoy for twelve game hours and not one shot yet, lol.

Since you had already installed a 4gb patch, no need to install Hsie's. I don't know if installing two would cause problems, but I would think it could.

Anyone else answer that ?

When you open LAA on the advance setting and point it to the relevant SH3 executable it should show True when LAA is active and this should be the case with the 4GB Patch from H.Sei is already applied. If LAA shows False, no 4GB patch has been applied.

My admittedly limited experimenting indicates that LAA will not apply itself over H.Sie's 4GB patch but don't know about the other way around.
