3) I also have some curiosity issue that in very few DWRA situations I CTD on final loading or a sec into the mission when streaming with Streamlabs OBS. For my case I pretty much confirmed it. Perhaps other apps (overlay software running in background etc.) can cause this aswell for other users.

Thank you.

1) good idea, I will check that.

2) no other mods, fresh install, only Russian voice pack and Sub Command briefings added from the RA website

3) interesting - maybe it's the Windows 10 Game Bar, would have to check. (Steam overlay it can't be, because I noticed RA's exe files don't need Steam)

Edit: Removing the lod files seemed to work. After that, I could use the regualar .exe file for starting the Bear campaign without crash

This may not be relevant to any issues mentioned here, however;

Recently some folks have reported issues with RA 1.50 beta when installed to a drive letter other than C:\

This drive letter issue is not known to cause problems for earlier versions of RA, to my knowledge.

Ah, maybe that's why 1.49 in general works better for me than 1.5 beta did. I have my DW on drive D:

Edit: No. I made again a re-install of DW and then applied RA 1.5 on it, again in "D:\Dangerous Waters" and this time, I have no issues at all (so far), even the campaigns which crashed before now work fine. Well. I guess it's just the mystery of computers.

My games and even data files are not on C: despite Microsoft Standards for games and documents.

It is easily done by replacing C: directories with junctions to point else where.

But as SC and DW are old games, they put all files under the game root.

the training mission with the Bear in which you need to refuel. HOW DO YOU GUYS DO IT ?! i mean, what im pretended to do is straightforward. But the execution is horrible since with everything i do my speed jumps up 15-25kts (its hard enough to make it fly 155 which is required).

I ****ing love the creator for puting "download fuel" or something in the description of the mission xD

But at crashes of the game. Fixed the RA & LwAmi mod with FPSchazly video, but sometimes my game does crash on custom scenarios and i need to restart my computer in order to start the game again. If I open it, I see something loading and then nothing... (until i restart PC).

I have constant CTDs on the the torpedo screen (F6) especially when selecting torpedoes on the tactical map. Also changing between the tube management screen and the tactical screen causes it.

Downloaded Russian vocice pack and followed the included instructions.
The command window opening up on running the .bat says that agg.exe is not found and no files are copied.

Same issue here. Something in the batch code prevents the use of wildcards and generic values for folders and file names.

I have created a topic in DW general discussions about this.

I never installed DW on C: (OS partition) and i never had any problems. Most of problems is caused by not following installation guide.
Most important:

- Reinforce Alert is NOT upgradable mod -

Every new release needs clean DW 1.04!!!

I agree pepe.

Now that more trouble shooting has been done, I'm convinced that left over files are the cause of the reports.

I couldn't be sure before, but Newinger's issues were almost certainly caused by leftover files, in this case.

I made extra sure that I de-installed DW and re-installed it before trying to install RA 1.5
