How to diagnose and repair CTD problems

GT182 · 02-10-13, 03:00 PM

As a comparison. My CPU is a Intel i5 2.81GH quadcore with 3.75GB of usable DDR3 RAM, with 32 bit XP OS. GFX card is an 8800GT with 1GB of DDR3 RAM. If I try TC at or over 1024 for any amount of time my system will CTD.

Use Sober's mega mod list and pick the mods you want to use. But make sure you install them in the order he hads them listed. Some will overwrite others but that will happen and it won't hurt. You don not have to use all of them if you don't want too. But if you want to go back and use some you changed your mind on, then you have to reinstall all mods in their correct order, and most likely start a new campaign again. Worst case is a fresh reinstall of SH5.

BTW.. the more you do the reinstall of SH5 and reinstall of mods the better, and more savy on them, you will become.

I'm ruuning with my 14th reinstall of SH5 and mods, and now I have a reasonably stable SH5. A couple of hic cups now and then, but reloading the previous Save solves the problem, unlike before.

I am running an AMD Phenom II x6 clocked at 3.4 Ghz, a Nvidia Gtx 570 1.25 Gb and 32 Gb of ram, and a Solid state hard disk.

Is that the best you could afford

Not at all, I chose this over Intel, because the AMD architecture has a better design than the Intel architecture. and I am planning to buy the AMD FX 8350 8 core.
Please don't turn this thread into a fanboi Pro Intel thread please.
I DO have enough money to buy parts, for your information.
And I have had this rig since 2010.

Just joking mate , your system is way better than my one . So lets rule that out regarding the CTDs .

So the next thing is what mods are you running . Give me a look at the Dbgview file . Its found in
NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Applications \Dbgview
Place it on your desktop then run it before starting SH5 . After playing click on File/Save as .

I will run this debug later, I am not in the best place for testing right now.
