CTD's

Herr Minger · 03-17-11, 04:58 PM

I am getting them regularly. I have uninstalled all mods and even the game which works for a while. The latest CTD's are strange as they are occurring at the same time as strange behaviour by Hunter Killers groups in the bay of Biscay. This started after a quite successful patrol around Rockhall when I ran into the HK group on the way back whilst surfaced in the bay running the game at x 2xxx and I got sunk. I reloaded the game to a save before I got sunk and have had nothing but trouble since. I was un naturally shadowed inbound and suffered a few ctd's but eventually made it to base. Now I am outbound I am still being un naturally shadowed by HK groups almost as if it is a bug in the game. So far one ctd but I am still only in the bay of Biscay. I am running IRAI and it's only 1940.

I've been getting them a lot. Just got the game so I'm not happy about it. I tried reinstalling and running a mission with no mods adn I still get them.

They are of two varieties:

1. Game CTDs and then the computer immediately shuts off. Doesn't reboot.

2. The game shuts off, I see the ubisoft game launcher window which tells me it is synchronizing saves and then the launcher shuts off. For no reason. Would this be related to the dreaded DRM?

My system
Windows XP 32bit
C2D e6700 (2.66Ghz)
9800GT (1gb)
3GB Ram

Anything obviously underpar for this game that could be causing the CTDs?

You need the Sub AI no ctd fix probably .

I'm getting the same. Game shuts off and I then stare at the ubi game launcher synchronizing saves.
Real pain.

Happens with or without MODs if I remember correctly.

Sober, thx for the link. Are you suggesting the prob is an enemy sub in the vicinity? Also, isn't this fix included in Magnum_Opus 001 & its Patch2?

I've had lots of problems with CTDs which I assumed was due to mod soup. However I've found that if I run without the 3GB switch enabled, then so far no CTDs. I am using 32bit XP.

I can't be certain about this yet, but as of late I have not had any CTDs when the 3GB switch has not been enabled, but plenty when it has. Might still be coincidence though. Personally I'd rather live with the disappearing harbour syndrome than CTDs.

Ah ha! That could be it. I'm running the 3GB switch too. I'll try tonight without and see if I get less CTDs. If not I'll try the AI sub fix.

Excuse my ignorance but what is the 3gb switch. I understand that 32bit systems only see around 3gb of system memory but I am not aware of a switch.

Also will the conflict between no halos and the environment mod cause my ctd's?
