We are not, but we cannot make a game bug into a feature... there should be other ways to punish trahitors, other than CTD's. Reward depletion, for example

On a side note, I once thought that this was a stock game bug, but after reading various reports, it seems it could be related with TDW's UI

Hello acecol
I know that this is a bit late in coming but I would keep trying. These problems are usually worked out because of something really simple. If the game was running, and it crashes because of a torpedo hit, then it might not even be related to the UI.
I use the 7.2 UI with no problems (I'm not saying this to frustrate, I'm just pointing out that it does work). Setting this up was another matter. I had to make sure that my patches (TDW's) were the correct version. If you are using the patches (and you should be as one or two of the principal patchs relate specifically to torpedos), which version of the patches are you using?
When working with these, sometimes the main .exe file can get weird (Corrupt). Sometimes a full reinstall will take care of it.
When I have a reoccuring crash difficulty, I will usually reinstall the .exe and manually delete it. This kind of cleaning ussually works.
I wish you good luck on this. Keep trying, the game is worth it!

Have tried with just 7.2.0 installed with relevant patches on clean version of SH5 & nothing works. Soon as a torpedo hits a ship bang we game crash.
If this was happening on 1 computer fair enough, But on 3 computers all with different specs!!!!!!!

Are you just using the TDW UI 7.1 and no other mods ?

Have tried with just using TDW UI 7.1 & with other TDW mods inc 1.0.74.

try with a clean SH5 install, no other mod/patch enabled but the official 1.2 patch

If you will be having still the same problem, report back. If not, try adding mods one by one, and run a test before enabling the next one

After that - install the rest of the mods in the proper order and see what happens.

The reason is that you might have not cleaned off the 7.2 version properly and that is causing you trouble.

The other thing possible is the patcher: there are things in the patcher that enabled require some of the mods to be installed also: like magnetic torps fix, as far as I remember.

I have to Ditto both these quotes not because of torpedoes but because I needed to use a clean version of the UI and the patcher, when I thought I was loading clean versions of the UI, things got screwy because I still had the old versions in folders elsewhere in the computer and it would find those and keep loading them.

One other thing acecol which I'm not sure if it's been mentioned. If you are enabling/disabling patches, (from the TDW SH5 patcher) and have improperly disabled/ re-enabled patches, (it's really easy to do); the SH5.exe will not run the patches correctly ie; the game will not play correctly. So, weird problems such as this require a thorough, clean re-install and this ends up being a fix about half the time.

Well after extensive testing it appears i may have the answer to this torpedo problem.
The single mission "THE PEDESTAL" which i have been using for testing has an ITALIAN taskforce which i try to sink these ships & every time this crash appears, going past this to the convoy ships & guess what with torpedos NO crash. So i take it this is a bug or perhaps it just happens to me. Let's hope it can be fixed if it is a bug as it has certainly affected me to the extent of nearly giving up on SH5.

Thank you all your help with this problem.

Colin.
