Crash when getting close to port

THE_MASK · 04-01-13, 03:36 PM

What computer specs ?
How much ram ?
32 or 64 bit OS ?

Intel Q9550, 8GB of DDR2, 250GB HDD, GTX 275. A bit old, but I think it should be good enough.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit, maybe that's part of the issue?

Try the latest MEP list I just put up . Uses less RAM .

Tried redownloading your supermod (I'm guessing the new version is the one that can currently be downloaded from the bonus mods section) and reapplying it - unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem.
I am however using the steam version of the game, so I haven't been able to apply TDWs .exe patches, so that might have something to do with it.

Try this too :

Right click on the game shortcut (for sh5.exe) and then :

Properties

and then, choose the TAB Compatibility and check :

Disable visual themes
Disable desktop composition

and Run this program as an administrator

That should fix the game and improve the stability.

If you can, load an earlier save game.
You can also try not returning to port - go on a long run for a day or two then return.

If your PC specs are on the low side - small issues like a bottle neck with ships is enough to tip you over the edge and ctd.
By loading an eariler save and/or not returning to port - you let the campaign engine sort out the bottle neck.

I tried loading an older savegame as well as doing the compatibility thing Cthulhus suggested - neither one worked.
I tried waiting outside of port for a day - didn't work.
I don't think this is a memory problem, considering I have 8GB of RAM and the RAM consumption I get is - at most - 5.5 GB (1.3 of which are occupied by SH5).
