CTD Uclass Submarine

Strategun · 12-03-19, 04:38 AM

I've restarted the game and it is indeed the Uclass submarine the culprit of the CTDs. Managed to sink both the minesweeper and the destroyer this time, with the help of the Luftwaffe who distracted the Task Force. Saved right after I sank both ships. Then as I started moving towards Danzig bay, I've picked up the Uclass sub on my hydro, and as soon as it's in range, problems start. All saves within range of the Uclass sub become corrupt, but fortunately the save right after I sank the task force wasn't corrupt. Managed to patrol the bay in a long playthrough, sank another ship, a coal freighter 2900t, then I got the heck out of there and TC'd to 512 moving towards Kiel. Halfway through the journey I saved again and this time it worked, no save game corruption, was able to save and load. Huzzah. Heads up for all new players: avoid that Uclass sub like the plague and never save the game when you're near it. 3rd time within 3 different playthroughs that I've managed to replicate this bug/glitch.

Hi Sg
At the point where you had sunk the task force you would have received a message ordering you to your new base in Kiel and IIRC you get an automatic game save as well.
At this point I would move towards Kiel and not gone near Danzig Bay where you know the Polish sub is patrolling.

Because of this thread I tested campaign start in Danzing just few days ago and didn't have any issues with Polish submarines. I've even managed to sink one with my deck gun.

Are you sure that everything is OK with your game/mod installation?

EDIT:
Nope...tested again and no problems when saving near or destroying Polish submarines in Danzing...

I would suggest full game re installation and fresh campaign start...

Weird, and yes I am pretty sure it's because of the Uclass submarine because it is the third time it happens. I manage to save the game fine, but if I quit to desktop and reload that save with the sub in the vicinity the game CTD's when loading no matter what. I have TWoS with Real Navigation and little else (a couple other mods that come with TWoS), no other mods or anything.

Edit: if it's any help I'm running the game on Win7, with the game installed from ye olde CD, then updated to the latest patch, then installed TWoS.

Exactly the same here but there's no problems near Polish subs...Did you save/reload the gamsave in Memel bunker?

Yes I did, save the game just after starting it, quit to main menu without doing anything else, then reloaded the game.

Hello Vecko,

Not sure if this is related to enemy submarines or not..but I've also run into a problem after recently having sank 2 British submarines north of the UK.

When I load the game it loads up fine, but I now have weird sound issues. It's like only certain sounds play when I move my mouse around in different directions.

Everything was running fine (except that previous issue I've described in a separate thread about the conning tower upgrades) and I stumbled upon 2 British subs which I sank. I saved the game sometime after that..no issues. I even made several more saves after that with no issues....

Then, I went on vacation for 2 weeks and came back today to the game. Now whenever I load any save (even before the subs were sighted) from this patrol (my 4th patrol) there are strange sound problems where certain sounds (engines running, or water splashing along the hull, etc. etc.) either intensify or quiet down depending on where my character is looking and/or located.

After reading this thread I deleted the saves where I saw the subs and all of the ones after the subs were sunk just to be sure. However, the problem still persists. I've even noticed that the music during the loading of the game will start and stop until the game is completely loaded. I'm not sure if that happened before or not, but I don't seem to remember that issue.

FYI - I'm running the Steam version correctly installed on Windows 8.1.
