If you haven't already, as THEBERBSTER pointed out, run your SH3.exe as administrator and in compatability mode for WinXP Service Pack 3. I can't say whether these settings will fix your problem loading saves, but they worked wonders for me and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Once applied, I went from about a 20% failure rate of loading saves to zero. Since then I've probably loaded about 75-100 saves in succession without any glitches (touch wood). As an additional bonus, I can completly disregard the 50km rules (often save near ships sunk or ships closeby, convoys, whilst under attack, near land etc) and will very often save whilst submerged, all with no problems on loading. When I save, I always do it at TCx1 and with map view (F5). I do still obey the rule with regards to changing mods whilst in mid-patrol.

Good posts and I hope you fix your problem.

Hi

I set SH3Cmdr.exe, the original SH3.exe and the SH3.exe that needs to be put into the V16B1 supplement mod folder to run as administrator and in compatibility mode for WinXP Service Pack 3.

First attempt at loading my save game resulted in a CTD when the red bar loading screen had finished. The second attempt went as far as flashing the "No So Long Ago" screen before CTD. Third attempt crashed while the red bar was filling up.

I disabled compatibility mode for the above mentioned .exe applications but left administrator "mode" on. This time my career would actually load but still getting CTD in the same area (AN54.) I did try starting a new career with compatibility mode and run as administrator turned on and it loaded up right away - though so did my current career so sadly that doesn't help. I'd need to sit down and rush towards AN54 to see if it still crashes or not. Got to be worth a try though. Thanks.

It does sound like we have the same setup (aside from mods) so was wondering if you'd be willing to share your mod list? If it works for you, it may work for me.

I have found SH3 saves to be bullet proof although that is with LSH3-2015.
I always save in the command room F2.
I can save anywhere as long as it is a manual save and never had a problem when loading.

Does your ctd in AN54 happen in a particular area or only when you sink ships?
Run all your applications as administrators

No worries. Thought I'd check first

I've never played any supermod/megamod aside from GWX 3.0 though maybe if I can't resolve my issue I can try LSH or NYGM. Would ideally fix my issue but if not, it's an option.

The CTD in AN54 in my original career was happening in the EXACT same spot when heading ENE from Hartlepool. When attempting to leave AN54 through any other direction, the CTD would still happen at roughly the same distance away. On my current career, I've saved in AN55 on the surface, in the command room with no contacts in sight. There is a bit of a storm (if that's relevant?)

I'll go through the mods that I renamed and compare them to the awesome archive Maik offers. If I can match them up, I'll be able to get the correct names

The only mod I use (that I know of) that adds/changes ships is "Enhanced Funnel Smoke and Thomsens Ships V4.1 (by CEMTUFEKCI)" and it hasn't caused any issues that I'm aware of. I will go back through the museum just in case but I'm fairly confident everything is okay.

My mod list (in order of installation) as best as I match them up to the originals:

GWX 16km Atmosphere

GWX Axis Mediterranean Aircraft Skins

GWX English Nav Map and Grid Refs

GWX Main Movie 'Das Boot'

Aces Radio Room Postcards (ACES)

Bow Spray Mod (SALE999)

Enhanced Funnel Smoke and Thomsens Ships V4.1 (CEMTUFEKCI)

Improved Binoculars

Improved Foam (DESGA? / DUVAL? OTTO HEINMEIR?)

Improved Moon (KAFKA)

Improved Officer Icons (JCWOLF)

Improved Searchlight Beams (ONELIFECRISIS)

Improved Torps Wake (HANS WITTEMAN?)

Imrpoved Wave Textures (UNKNOWN MODDERS)

Lifeboats and Debri v4 (RUBINI)

Lighter Night Flags

Pascal's Port People (PASCAL)

Radio Message Screen Alt (JOHNFB)

Red Crew Management Screen

Red Night Filter (GAIRITH)

SH-5 Water for SH-3 16 Km V84 (RIK007)

Six Dial Slideout (GREYBEARD *Note: QWERTYQWERTY also offers this mod but I'm 99% sure I'm using GREYBEARD's version.)

Telefunken EH 240 Headphones (ACES)

Terrain Textures

DFant_subFlag_2010

Aces Crew on Deck (ACES)

Depthcharge_shake_2.01 (NVDRIFTER)

DD_OH_V3.09_20091209162038 (DIVINGDUCK)

DD_OHV3.09_Fix_for_NVD_DC_Shake_001

FM_NewInterior v2.1D (FLAKMONKEY)

LostBoyLazarus' Uniform Pack (My own uniformpack [unreleased])

LostBoyLazarus' Sound Pack (My own soundpack [unreleased])

Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)

I have also added several files into "Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)" which include both changes to several CFG and Menu files. This was done to ensure compatibility between several mods that change lines in "Basic.cgf" and "menu_1024_768" etc. I have also "removed" the floating chronometer that GWX 3.0 added and re-added the bearing information to the binoculars (personal preference.)

Aside from these mods, I'm running GWX 3.0, SH3Cmdr (which I use to run the game), GWX3_SH3Cdr3.2Files_v1.2 (to enable SH3Cmdr to run with GWX 3.0) and Hsie Options Selector (v1.4) for SH3 with the following enabled:

4GB Patch
Snorkeling Fix
Hydrophone Fix
Fog Warning
CrashDive Blues Bugfix
External Torpedo Reload
Internal Torpedo Reload
Move 1WO to bridge
Radar Bugfix
Diesel Damage Fix
Bad Weather Fix

Just my advice, GWX is an awesome mod. But it has a lot of issues. NYGM has very little. It has less eye candy, but very few crashes. You don’t have to worry about 50km from land or ships. It doesn’t care about human sacrifices to work or if the stars align.

I jest but in seriousness, GWX is a great but difficult mod in my opinion to work with. I went to NYGM and I may get a CTD once out of every 10 game loads.
