Enemy radio message: computer freeze

plj · 10-18-13, 05:10 PM

So, I've succesfully sunk the destroyer and the minelayer, and the uekel freighter trying to get out of Danzig bay .. set course to the first harbor (bottom one) and at about 4 to 5km out of the harbor decide to engage the little harbor freighter with my deckgun @ ~1500m.

First shot is just over .. second as well, 3rd just in front of bow .. then I hear the radio noise, a message about a radio message intercepted from my radio officer, and then my whole system freezes.

This has happened on a number of occasions now. Is this a known error ? Any way to get rid of it ?

The fact that this is a recursive problem is actually a good news: by now you should be able to tell us if the crash is significantly associated with any gaming event which migh help us in tracking down the cause (use of the deck gun, sinking of ships, incoming radio messages, etc.)

Since my torpedo hits so far have been one-hit kills, there was no radio traffic from those attacks .. and offcourse they never saw me comming

Using the deckgun is the only situation in which they have been trying to radio for help .. I'll disable that feature .. see what that does.

Are you pretty sure it was an enemy ship?

EDIT: because I know of only one case in which the game freezes after the vessel's destruction..

I mean any kind of incoming radio message.

Yes, I thought about it myself, but I know plj as a fine gentleman, and as he said that his problem has iterated a number of times now, I can't imagine him targetting neutral or friedly ships on a regular basis...

Sometimes some Polish ships are recognized by game as German or friendly.. I don't know why and don't ask me

, but a year ago my game freezes after I sunk a Polish ship near Scapa after the Reid.. I tested it several times..

Yeah .. positive. It's one of those coastal ships .. the ones that you can shoot to bits and pieces with your FLAK gun. Flag was polish, harbor was polish .. unless they where pulling my leg, it was a polish ship.

Also, it was not on destruction, it was on radio for help .. the radio sound played, my crewmember said something about an intercepted message, and then the last half second of sound kept playing, and I needed the reset button.

I have been reproducing it a number of occasions now, therefore I'm pretty confident that it has to do with radio for help. If I just blow up their radioroom first, no crases.

I'll review my options file and patch .. maybe I made a mistake there.

Gap, whoever gave you the impression that I'm gentle ? :p

Well, so that's in someway related to the radio patch then..
