Each time I have the same issues.. I see that picture every time after leaving any station, no matter what I use to leave the station Esc or x button on the left hand bar -



And when I want to reload the game after this error I have this error message and CTD -



I had seen earlier in the thread posts with such issues, but I thought that you already fixed them.. no.. with each new update the same..
Hey Mate,

thank you for pointing me on that....i wonder that the first error apears everytime...as it has ben mentioned i asked how to reproduce the error...

1. How Do you enter the Station? Are you going to each of them and click on them or are you using the teleport bar?

2. Please tell me if there are any differences if you leave them by using escape or the "x" Button.

3. Try the following...activate each Station by using the teleport Buttons...1. Attack Scope...2. Observationscope 3. Uzo...then enter each Station again and tell me if the error apears again....

i may have an idea why this happens...as we know there is a bug that the scripts of the stations still not initialize completly the first time you visit them...

I am Still looking how this bug can be overrun.

The second error is interessting...never seen that...may be i know why..

Best Regards

DrJones

I already told TDW, his last version doesn't want to work properly on WinXP, more precisely with the .NET Framework 2.0..
I think here is the same issue..

This game is no longer supported WinXP
Well, so it's time to return to the STALKER

Thank you...it is very important to know for me....i am a win7 user....i tried everything to reproduce the error with the scopes and dials that appear..but for half an hour I ran through the boat...entered manually the stations and per Teleport...left tham by esc and the "x" button...again and again...

but..i use a complete fresh Installation from sh5 because i toggled to much arround with a lot of mods in the past....do you use a new fresh Installation???

But...i was able to reproduce the 2nd error....there are still some things i will try and fix it...

of course the same for the first error...

A Question to the whole audiance....please tell me if you have the same Problem...

Best Regards

I'm right now doing my 6th reinstall since I first started trying to get the Parts Magui 3.01 to run properly.

The issues I've had I already posted - you know, the crew standing with arms spread out...
Even if I deactivate the Parts Magui the crew remains standing there. The only way to get out of this is to do a reinstall. At least what I've found so far.

Another funny thing that might be a problem is that every time I reinstall the program tells me that my GPU driver is outdated...
It's not! It's the latest nVidia driver for my GeForce GTX 690. I'm lost here - I have tried with other, older drivers but the outcome is the same. The crew simply remains standing there
Could anyone recommend a reliable nVidia driver, please?

Each time SH5 is reinstalled I patch it and do a test run. Always OK.
Then - when I load either Parts Magui v3.01, with or without the patch - no change, that stubborn crew just disobeys orders.

As I'm suspecting my JSGME might be playing games with me I'm gonna look for a new one. Could anyone give a link for a good download?

With 16Gb RAM and that GPU, Win7 64 Bits there shouldn't be any issues whatsoever.

Hello Silent Steel.

What type of cpu is working in your computer? I've read somewhere about problems with some games when using AMD FX cpus.

I've had very weird problems happen with drivers, mods and the vanilla stock version now and then. Sounds like your new install has some driver file errors on the harddrive or registry errors dealing with nVidia driver for my GeForce GTX 690.

The following suggestions, which are similar to what I have done below, has solved driver or mod soup or vanilla CTD issues for me when I have felt like screaming or pulling my teeth.

In your case, maybe there are some registry errors for SH5, or GeForce GTX 690. Delete registry data about nVidia driver for GeForce GTX 690. Repatched to game version 1.2? After uninstalling the game and clearing registry of suggestion made above, have you completed shutdown computer, then started computer? Registry is not totally reset then if doing a reinstall during same session or even a restart. Hard drive platters need to totally stop moving. Driver Sweeper (freeware or shareware) works for clearing up old driver issues. Old version still works for me, newer version with another company buyout is available now at price.

Most subsimmers, including me, have installed to a folder other than c:\program files(x86) due to administrative issues. Before reinstalling the game, have you made sure there is no sh5 files left in previous install folder? If leftover files are newer versions from old install, SH5 will not overwrite these versions with the new reinstall.

Some subsimmers were having a wake issue with Nvidia cards, too, and CTD happened. Sober wrote about this somewhere in the last 2 weeks.

Disable all JSGME mods, make sure nothing is left in the mods\!backup or mods\!log folders

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your suggestions
I've just now cleared all registry data on the nVidia driver and will now go on with next reinstall...

First thing after a reinstall I always patch (weird though that sometimes during the install the program tells me that it's patching... but when I enter the main menu SH5 isn't patched...
so, I usually patch using the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe)


You're right - I've forgotten to reboot after uninstall...
I always make sure the C:\Users\Documents\SH5 folder is deleted as well as the C:\Ubisoft folder before sweeping the drive (CCleaner)

I'll follow your advice and install to another, new folder.
Then launch SH5 for a test run before installing JSGME and check - then install JSGME and load Parts Magui 3.01

Just wanna mention it again, can't be told too many times - Webster's 'How to Fix Mod Soup Issues' has proven to be reliable in many cases (even if it wasn't the answer to the question in my current case)
Could be useful for other mates around to know before going ballistic.

Thanks for the JSGME link

Cross fingers
