Has the stadimeter CTD been isolated yet?

From what I can tell now it only happens usually now under the following conditions:

1 - No Stabilize View checked (always checked for me since I want realism 100%)

2 - Using a resolution greater than 1024x768. I had switched to 1280x1024 for awhile and that is when my stadimeter crashes started occuring.

After re-reading the message from the developers posted in this forum I paid particular attention to the mention of "crashes at higher resolutions."

This made me downgrade back to 1024x768 and I haven't had the stadimeter CTD yet.

Mind you I only played one more patrol after this post after downgrading and only ran into two ships without a crash.

So you can use unstabilized image as long as you have the resolution set to 1024x768? That sucks, cuz I get better framerates running at 1600x1200, due to some wonkiness involving synchronization and refresh rates. First stadimeter crash I had (listed above) was when I switched from 1280x960 to 1600x1200. No problems before that (but I had only used it in the training missions, not in campaign).

CTD With the Stadameter has been fixed for me. Just make sure you have light rays checked. That fixed it for me, 5 plus hours no CTD.

I have light rays checked. That is not a fix. I played for several days without a CTD before the one above was encountered. Anyways, light rays is an effect that only appears below the surface of the water and should not have any bearing on this issue.

I hate to say it, but I just had the stadimeter CTD with the periscope while running at 1024x768. So it can indeed happen at that resolution.

I run at 100% realism so "no stabilize view" was checked, and I have light rays on.
