can you send your config?
initial questions in the interim....in no particular order....

• which ship is attacking you?
• are you sustaining damage or is are the depth bombs merely exploding?
• if you are sustaining damage, which boat are you driving?
• what date is the attack taking place?

What do you mean config?

1. It seems that what ships attacks me doesn't matter
2. It doesn't seem I take damage before ctd

i mean your JSGME config which shows which mods you have installed and in what order they are installed.

and...what ship attacks you may matter if there is a ship/weapon/ammo/date/parent-child ID mismatch somewhere in the background.

But the ctd issues when depth charges persist in the current version also.

I would remove one mod at a time, and then go try to get depth-charged, and see what happens. My prime suspect would be the "Depthcharge_sound_repair", but it could well be one of the patches or the main mod itself... if it is the sound repair, check the file length, bit depth and resolution to match or be close to the Stock game's settings. If it is a mono file, at 22.05k and 16-bits in stock, you almost have to have the same type file in a mod. Some of the "effects" sounds cannot be over 5 seconds in length, others cannot be over 15 seconds. The shorter the better to avoid "bandwidth" issues, especially when considering the number of depth charges the game can drop near you. Also, if you have altered the 3D sound channels in the Options, Sound menu, the game can and will crash. I don't know if they have something wrong in their original code, or if Windows doesn't like the old code, or what, but it is best to leave the sound channels as in Stock also.

The depth charge sound repair mod is a fix for very short depth charge explosion effect. This fixed the issue where depth charge sounds would cut off in the middle of the explosion. The game crashed before activating this mod.

So... you're saying that this has been noted by you... prior to working to include the newer modifications then...

Strange, as I have not noted such, behavior... but then... probably haven't ran into the proper kicker for it to occur, yet... either.


On contemplation of this... occurring... wanna say I believe... KM, is on the possible cause for it propbeanie, given the info on it occurring prior to inclusion of newer... stuff.



If, you recall think it was with.... v1.46 of FotRS-U, that there was a.... mismatch of file bits with certain... IJN subs, that were invariably causing all sorts of grief with CTDing... on either torp'ing them, or just the simple act of their spawning near you, if not a bit of both.


The... Sen Taki (think I mangled that subs proper name, but... have confidence you should now the 1 I am referring to here... ) was 1 of the culprits in that issue. As I recall, iirc was... 3 in all.


This, could well be the case here... just with a different root cause but still... ship related. Namely, in the depth charges... to, even... a case of equip mismatch & a bit of mismatched ship info... maybe. Just....

a WAG, here... I do admit.



Hope this... cogitating, of Mine out loud... helps... as always...



Gonna go back to lurking...
