HELP! SH3-GWX3 Saves CTD.

brett25 · 07-13-13, 11:53 AM

try taking this out:

LifeBoats&Debris_v4

and retest (go back to previous good save, resink a ship and then see if it works)

also make sure you have the 4GB patch applied.

Thank you, brett25! I'll give it a try without Lifeboats&Debris-v4!

I am using the 4GB patch through h.sie's patcher. Is that equivalent to the external 4gbpatch.exe? Or should I use the separate mod? I am concerned about applying the .exe fix over the top of h.sie's patch.

UPDATE: First, external 4gb fix is not compatible with h.sie's patcher. Wach makes sh3.exe incompatible with the other.

Second, took out Lifeboats&Debris_v4. No joy. Still gives CTDs after saves.

A bit curious that CTD's-

I mean your Load-order is not that big nor complex so it should be something obvious.

You said it started recently? What was the last change you did before things became prone to CTD? And what are your SH3 Commander settings?

My suggestion is, disable this mod and try again.

TMTv2+ThomsensShips v4.4 for GWX3+Xtra ships

Report back.

Thanks, Myxale. Last additions were GWX 20Km Atmosphere and sh5 Water for SH3 29Km. But I have removed both with no apparent success.

I'm thinking of stripping her down to bare metal and putting in one mod at a time. That will take some time, tho....

Almost every time I have had CTD it has been traced to extra ships in some mod. I suggest you deactivate all mods which add extra ships and see what happens
If this doesn't help I suspect you will have to hunt mod by mod until you had isolated the problem or problems.

Irish is right.
One of the biggest culprits of CTD are extra ships.
One of the reasons i could never enjoy BBW work properly.

I have many problems with the Wilhelmshaven v7, and now I have v6 installed, without CTD issues. v7 add ships not working in museum (and presumibly not in game). With v7, I had many CTDs with saved games; I resolved that changing to v6.

Try changing to Wilhelmanshaven v6 mod.

Regards.
