and you could add realistic hydrophone and didn t get any CTD? silentotto MN start I mean...I could reload both my saved game on patrol and in bunker with no problem.It was only silentotto M N (I didn t try other campaigns now) It should not be a big deal then except it shows theres some instability somewhere and maybe that somehow could give CTD s later.
I forgot also now that to say zero is a truth with modifications. I got similar problems when I removed Snorkel haha. Start new career without snorkel and abra kadabra magic..it worked.

Yep, in absence of other evidences, it seems to be the one reasonable explanation. Blaming it is too easy though: unless you can reliably reproduce the problem, it could be caused by a myriad of unponderable factors...

Never happened to you that you tried running a burdensome program, let's say photoshop, and after the initial splash screen it stops responding? It can happen especially after a long working session. When you try running it the next time, it loads okay, whereas other times it reuired the system to be reset....

Another example taken from my personal experience. I while ago skype started crashing my system (blue screen!) every time I used its chat. It happened suddenly, and with no apparent reason. Probably some windows update conflicted with it, or the last skype update didn't like my system for some reason. A reinstall of skype and many other attempts to fix it, were worthless. Then, as suddenly as it appeared, the problem vanished and it didn't show up again until today. I still a bit baffled.

I don't say that the examples above fully apply to your odd experience, but for a computer illetterate like me, they resambe each other

Where are you getting the ctds . Just tried silentotto MN and works flawlessly . Also re other comments , took 2 seconds to load . Have you tried right click on the SH5 EXE and go to properties/compatability . Run the program for windows 7 and run as administrator . Also uneneble all mods and then play the tutorial right thru then enable all the mods and then start a new campaign using silentotto .

I get your point GAP

PLJ wrote this in oh2 forum :"I start hearing dock sounds, get a few ui elements, start seeing the drydock, then CTD."

Thats excactly what I get too when trying Silentotto start.
both before and after I installed fresh. Then I found this crazy way to fix it like I described.

I have not yet tried what you suggest Sober thx for the advice. Right now it is fixed and it seem very stable but it would be interessting to track this down. Plj and I obviously had something similar.

Wait a minute?

Could you explain me a bit more your findings about snorkel and silentotto CTD. I'm confused completely...

EDIT:
I've just started silentottto Mare Nostrum with TDW snorkel enabled without any problems...So what's going on here?

I ll try to remember what happened. I started a new campaign since mine was messed up..... I didn t get my new boat while in Mare Nostrum. I wanted to start approx where I left off so I experienced my first Silentotto ctd while trying to start new campaign in Mare Nostrum. my list was still old so I renewed it before trying. I tried several times without luck until I remembered I forgot to reenable the snorkel. When I did I managed to start my campaign in Mare Nostrum. I decided I wanted to go without snorkel but that was impossible until I started a new campaign coastal waters went out on patrol without snorkel then saved game. Then I managed to start a campaign in Mare Nostrum without Snorkel.
After that I experienced the same when enabling new ui s 7_5_0 and RSD. I had to start a new campaign coastal waters with those enabled, then start in Mare Nostrum afterwards.

More confusing. I was back in ctd hell trying Silentotto start in Mare Nostrum or Western app.(don t know why I keep testing that). This time my old trick of starting a new career coastal waters campign first didn t work. No luck starting western approaches or Mare Nostrum. What finally worked was to start coastal waters campaign but don t start patrol. Then I started arctic convoys..it worked. after that Mare Nostrum worked too..
I start to feel I m spamming now ....
Generally if I get silentotto CTD one time I get it 10 times too unless I do something that changing some stuff in the game wether it is remove a recently added mod, add/remove snorkel or start a career in a different campaign.
