CTDs Again

[cdrsubron7]

I've been playing in one career now for months, all with the idea of building enough renown so I could get command of a Type XXI sub when they became available. Last night I tranferred to Bergan got my Type XXI. OK, I started out on my first patrol, being assigned to patrol Grid BE31 southwest of England. While transiting in mid-ocean off the northwestern coast of Scotland not far from Lock Ewe I had a CTD. I've tried six different times to continue this patrol all with the same results, a CTD. I've changed my video card settings and in game settings with no results. Anybody got any ideas or suggestions on what I can do to get around this problem or eliminate it. I've even tried starting a new career, but had that one crash to.

Was there an error report? i.e error with sh3.exe or collsions.act

I always get one of those Windows Error message thingies telling me that the sh3.exe has encountered an error and needs to close.

3. Grey Wolves 1.1a

4. SH3 Commander 2.6


I had a sudden thought, could this a problem the SH3 Commander 2.6? :hmm:

Everyone's quick to blame SH3 Commander. My adivce to you would be to roll back SH3C and reload from base (i.e the patrol before you had the ctd).

I have had CTD's as you describe twice. First was at time compression and I collided with something. Second was when I didn't roll back SH3C.

Give this ago.

Hope it works for you.

I remember having the same bug back in my first career using the stock game. IIRC it has something to do with a taskforce nearby. What I did was that I changed my course completely, reloading a previous save. I don't remember well. Either I travelled a long arc around the UK, or I went through the Channel. In any case, the CTD was gone.
