Actually I like eating Mexican food of dubious origins better, but to each his own. Before doing computer surgery of some kind, maybe downloading your mods from scratch might help. If that doesn't help it's the old trial and terror method of removing one mod at a time until the CTDs stop. Then go to the mod author and see if you can get a fix. Your list looks good to me and I don't think you have any mods that are.... AHA!!!!

Your ROW files are installed in the wrong order. You should be 1. ROW Textures, 2. ROW scene install lightning smoke fire oil LBO, 3. ROW highend sub reflections 0.1 (substitute low end if you wish here), 4. ROW highend ship reflections 0.1, 5. ROW misc highend reflections 0.1, 6. ROW Camera Mod vs3 arcade (or realistic), 7. ROW hollywood effect with sfx. You should get the new ROW files, yours are a version old and be careful the order you install them in.

THEN install the mods you have on top of that (they should not be a problem). Let us know what you have then.

The ROW files in the first screen I showed in my first post are the new ROW files recently uploaded. I went back and installed the old ones which you see in the screen below.

I don't know if this matters, but my cureent problems are stemming from trying to test run a new war patrol scenario I've been working on this weekend. It takes place in May, 1944. I can't take any screen shots of it, it crashes at any random moment, and aside from all that the Jap DDs are spotting me 15 miles away in a driving rain storm.

I see! A campaign/scenario problem! That's a tater area of expertise. I suggest you PM him and I'd be VERY surprised if he can't get you sorted out. And you can tell him beyond a doubt that you have eliminated any game installation issues with your two advanced Silent Hunter surgeries.

I'm stepping WAY out of my own knowledge pool, but it sounds like a crash when a certain type of ship is sighted. Keep us posted on what you find out because for some people this would be a deal-breaker on SH4. And it's most likely not SH4's fault, defect-wise.
